Unique Items

During my talks with Rory during my unique item design process, he let out this snippet of information with regards to the flavour text on Perandus SignetPerandus Signet
Paua Ring+(20-30) to maximum Mana+(25-30) to maximum Mana
(45-65)% increased Mana Regeneration Rate
2% increased Experience gain
2% increased Intelligence for each Unique Item Equipped
3% chance for Slain monsters to drop an additional Scroll of Wisdom"Our warehouses are bursting. Our vaults are full.
But our minds are still hungry."
- Medici Perandus, Prefect to the Treasury

Our official writer will use this to come up with something more eloquent that conveys the idea of a society that is so profitable that it begins to hunger for knowledge over any material wealth, as the empire did before its fall.

Diamond/Eternal Newsletters

Some of the diamond/eternal newsletters provide interesting information about Wraeclast.

I think you've already seen this one http://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1hu138/eternal_and_diamond_supporter_newsletter_20/

But maybe you haven't seen this one http://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1ahsze/diamond_supporter_newsletter_4/

It contains some interesting information about the eternal laboratory and about the reign of Voll: it seems he is executing thaumaturgists like criminals, and this could be the reason Oriath exiles criminals instead of executing them. Maybe something happened after they executed one of the thaumaturgists that caused the Twist?

0.11.4 patch note preview

Today's news update included the line "Vaal Fallen now wear appropriate late Atziri period Vaal armour." If that's the case, it seems probable that the Vaal structures in Act 2 date to the time of Queen Atziri, and likely that Atziri's reign was very near the end of the Vaal civilisation.

The Purity Chronicles, Book 5: The Emperor is dead. Long live the Emperor.

"On the last day of Divini 1334 IC, High Templar Voll laid siege to Sarn. Commander Adus of Highgate soon joined Voll, bringing his legion and a horde of miners to bolster the Army of Purity’s ranks. Thus surrounded, Emperor Chitus rallied his gemlings for a desperate defence of the capital. His efforts were cut short by Lord Mayor Ondar who, on the 2nd Kaso of Derivi, stabbed Chitus to death on the steps of the Sceptre of God.

With Victario’s help, Ondar was able to flee through the sewers and escape to Voll’s encampment. But Ondar’s term as the Hero of Purity was a short one. Two weeks later he was found by Victario’s men in the Sarn sewers, seated and cross-legged, with his severed head in his lap. It was later discovered that the Perandus family had hired Coralito of the Silent Brotherhood to pluck Ondar from Voll’s camp and deliver their vengeance for Chitus’ murder.

Yet despite their desperate efforts, Chitus’ mourners were unable to save their city. Faced with Victario’s uprisings in the Slums, Docks and Warehouse District, and constant attacks from without, Lord Cadiro Perandus met with Voll on the on the 1st Sacrato of Phreci and offered Sarn’s unconditional surrender.

Voll and his Army of Purity marched through the gates of the capital and less than a week later Voll of Thebrus was crowned Emperor.”
