Poe2 secret quest: The Adorned and Vaal empire.

Rn in poe2 you can craft an adorned.

I will give a couple hints and a walkthrough of some of the actual history here.

“AT THEIR HEIGHT, THE VAAL GLITTERED UNDER THE SUN.
A DECADE, A CENTURY, AN AEON OF PROSPERITY...
NOW NOTHING MORE THAN A PASSING WONDER.”~ the adorned diamond.

This leads me to believe that when we go back in time that moment is actually during the height of the society as described by the diamond.

We are the cause of the vaal cataclysm. Meaning we toppled their prosperity and growth.

I pose one question to you, who did we do that on behalf of?

It would appear the Vaal were going to become trouble for a group I call “The shadowed gods”

Those who control the fabric of time and ensure they rule throughout. Their goal is simple, to never allow the rise of a true utopia. They are like a balancing force but in the direction of chaotic evil.

These gods are easy to spot as is all of their followers.

Idols are adorned in a way. There’s more puzzle pieces to crafting an adorned this time boys, but it can be done.
