Petrarch: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

{{Psaro C}} and [[Rose]] are asked by [[Pierre]], the only one of his kind to retain any sentience, to kill Petrarch and free the golems from their unending slavery. Once confronted and dealt with, Petrarch's curse fades and the stone golems collapse into rubble, finally free from their toil. Later on, when confronting Aamon in [[Aamon's Sanctum|his sanctum]] in the Upper Echelon of the Circle of Caprice, the wicked one reveals that the stone golems were in fact [[Elves and Faeries|elves]] he had cursed when he destroyed their kingdom of [[El Zetta]] long ago, delighting in the fact that the heroes had unwittingly driven Rose's people closer to extinction.

==Etymology==

*Petrarch is a compound pun based on two Greek words. ''Petra'' is the feminine counterpart to Peter which means "stone" in Greek, and ''Arch'' describes authority over something and serves as the root word for the English monarchy. Rolled together, Petrarch's name means ruler of rocks.
