Khonsu seeks vengeance against your wizard as you have visited many worlds of the Spiral and left them all changed. In your wake, economies have shifted, empires fallen, plagues have been wiped away, rebellions have become regimes and legends have come back to life. Khonsu has united those you have stepped on and now your friends are doomed.
Mellori, Ozzy, Dyvim Whiteheart, Istar, Ivan, Pork, Stallion Quartermain, and Ceran Nightchant have been taken captive and scattered across Selenopolis. After rescuing Ceren, Istar, Ozzy, Pork, Quartermain, Ivan and Dyvim, Baba Yaga provides your Myth Wizard with some insight into Khonsu. She sends you back to Selenopolis to find the coherent story about Khonsu by talking to the storytellers. Ridley Thoth CCCI is one of those storytellers.
“Wake up, Wizard, you’re on. Welcome to my Punderdome! A hall of revelry and death. Are you not entertained! This is what the stories of Thoth have needed: truth, honesty, violence. Sincere, real, violence. And once this is done, I will write down my feelings in the moment, the truth inscribed as tale. And then, at last, Thoth will return!” – Ridley Thoth CCCI
Sir Ridley Scott (born November 30, 1937) is an English film director and producer. He directs films in the science fiction, crime, and historical epic genres, with an atmospheric and highly concentrated visual style. He ranks among the highest-grossing directors, with his films grossing a cumulative $5 billion worldwide. He has received many accolades, including the BAFTA Fellowship for Lifetime Achievement in 2018, two Primetime Emmy Awards, and a Golden Globe Award. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003, and appointed a Knight Grand Cross by King Charles III in 2024.
An alumnus of the Royal College of Art in London, Scott began his career in television as a designer and director before moving into advertising as a director of commercials. He made his film directorial debut with The Duellists (1977) and gained wider recognition with his next film, Alien (1979). Though his films range widely in setting and period, they showcase memorable imagery of urban environments, spanning 2nd-century Rome in Gladiator (2000) and its 2024 sequel, 12th-century Jerusalem in Kingdom of Heaven (2005), medieval England in Robin Hood (2010), ancient Memphis in Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014), contemporary Mogadishu in Black Hawk Down (2001), futuristic cityscapes of Los Angeles in Blade Runner (1982) and extraterrestrial worlds in Alien, Prometheus (2012), The Martian (2015) and Alien: Covenant (2017).
Scott has been nominated for three Academy Awards for Directing for Thelma & Louise, Gladiator and Black Hawk Down. Gladiator won the Academy Award for Best Picture, and he received a nomination in the same category for The Martian. In 1995, both Scott and his brother Tony received a British Academy Film Award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema. Scott’s films Alien, Blade Runner and Thelma & Louise were each selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being considered “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”. In a 2004 BBC poll, Scott was ranked 10 on the list of most influential people in British culture. Scott also works in television, and has earned 10 Primetime Emmy Award nominations. He won twice, for Outstanding Television Film for the HBO film The Gathering Storm (2002) and for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special for the History Channel’s Gettysburg (2011). He was Emmy-nominated for RKO 281 (1999), The Andromeda Strain (2008), and The Pillars of the Earth (2010).
