+ | From deep within the chaotic [[The Void|Void]], stands the Obelisk of Lost Souls. It is a focus of sorts, used by the [[:Category:Shadowed Man|shadowed men]] to connect worlds throughout the cosmos that they are interested in, [[Norrath]] being one of these. When the Obelisk binds itself to a new world, a black monolith materializes somewhere on the planet's surface and acts as the main anchor to the Obelisk. On Norrath, the [[The Tower of Vul|Tower of Vul]] within the [[The Feerrott|Feerrott]] is this monolith and the portal within provides direct access to within the Obelisk. - ''(Source: [[On the Origins of Shadowed Men]])'' |

Beings such as [[an Infernal Generator]], found deep within the dungeon, and the [[A Congregation of Souls|Congregation of Souls]] found at the very top of the Obelisk are concentrations of these souls.

The sparse knowledge of these places and their sentient inhabitants is garnered from [[The Obelisk of Lost Souls Timeline#Book Quests|tomes]] dropped rarely from the Void-creatures within the dungeon.

Lore
From deep within the chaotic Void, stands the Obelisk of Lost Souls. It is a focus of sorts, used by the shadowed men to connect worlds throughout the cosmos that they are interested in, Norrath being one of these. When the Obelisk binds itself to a new world, a black monolith materializes somewhere on the planet's surface and acts as the main anchor to the Obelisk. On Norrath, the Tower of Vul within the Feerrott is this monolith and the portal within provides direct access to within the Obelisk. - (Source: On the Origins of Shadowed Men)
The Obelisk is powered by extracted souls, giving it its name. The process is understood solely by the shadowed men, but is touched upon at great lengths throughout the timeline. Beings such as an Infernal Generator, found deep within the dungeon, and the Congregation of Souls found at the very top of the Obelisk are concentrations of these souls. Not all souls are used purely for their energy, however, as the shadowed men also extract knowledge from important or powerful creatures and store them within the Obelisk. (Source: Scrolls found within the Aethenaeum of Shadows)
The other worlds connected to Norrath via the Obelisk are Cron, Dyrt, Hykor, Iza, Lysis, and Odris. The sparse knowledge of these places and their sentient inhabitants is garnered from tomes dropped rarely from the Void-creatures within the dungeon. The portals to these worlds can be seen on the cavern level of the zone and their tethers to the Obelisk are found deeper within the dungeon in the form of shadowed men.
Entrances
There are seven entrances into the dungeon. The reason for this is revealed by a notice found within the Aethenaeum of Shadows: "The Creator [of Shadows] has decreed that [the shadowed men] are to consume more power and deploy in several other land masses as [they] are able. In order to minimize the risks while obtaining the widest variety of samples, [a] new anchor will move from land mass to land mass at random intervals and locations. This will help prevent organized sieges upon the Obelisk."
With the exception of the Feerrott entrance, entrance portals only appear after the surrounding shadowed rift watchers are taken out. The portals appear as purple clouds of mist, cannot be seen from far away unless graphic settings are maxed and do not render at all at 'Extreme Performance' or 'Very High Performance' settings. All entrances lead to the cavern level of the dungeon, with the exception of the Feerrott portal, which teleports you directly inside the Obelisk. The entrance locations are as followed:
- Antonica: ( -2220, -14, -953 )
- The Commonlands: ( 1062, -37, -449 )
- The Thundering Steppes: ( 1143, -18, 824 )
- Nektulos Forest: ( -52, 89, -2251 )
- Enchanted Lands: ( -773, 0, -976 )
- Zek, the Orcish Wastes: ( 1, 14, -157 )
- The Feerrott: ( -961, 12, 502 )
