Primal (video game)/WMG
Jen is the child of Lady Arella and Lord Abaddon.
- "You were brought into Oblivion as a baby. Your soul tainted by the touch of Chaos." - Scree to Jen
- "You are a hybrid, Jennifer; half mortal, half demon. One of only two in all existence, and to me that makes you more important than an army of demons. Did you think it was just those trinkets on you arms that allowed you to change form? You have powers that even Abaddon does not fully comprehend. You can go anywhere, do things that Belahzur could not if he had a millennium. The laws of the Nexus are yours to break." - Lady Arella
Lady Arella points out that Jen never knew her parents. Jen was rescued from Abaddon by Abdizur and Lady Arella's legions. Abaddon calls Jen "daughter." If Abaddon is Jen's father, then an equally strong and opposite force would have to be Jen's mother. That other parent could only be Lady Arella.
The spirit of the shaman Devena had killed persuaded the Ferai Shaman to aid Jen and Scree.
Primal is a game where almost everything is explained at great length before it's encountered. Everything else is explained as we go along. There's just one exception. The second shaman in Solum. The one at the Ferai Hunt Camp. The one Jen and Scree speak with more than once. That shaman, with his combination water buffalo and antelope horns, speaks some sense, and some nonsensical non sequiturs.
The shaman summons Green Ferai energy up from the fire as Jen and Scree approach. The shaman seems to sense them behind his back before they announce themselves. "Two are come..." he says in English, where previously he had been speaking the Demon Tongue.
From Babigurl94's game script on GameFAQs:
"Talk with the Shaman"
Shaman: "No further! Do they know they approach the sacred grounds?" |
to find him."
[The Shaman shakes a little, then lunges towards Jen.] |
The Shaman is obviously speaking to someone else in the phrases indicated with italics. Someone present, but not sensed by the others.
The best, perhaps only candidate, is the spirit of the shaman killed in the earlier cutscene "Encounter with Devena". There is no evidence for this other than the second Shaman's behavior.
Here's the dialogue from the second cutscene with the Ferai Shaman at the Hunt Camp. Note one more mention of "the spirit", by the Shaman, towards the end.
Jen: "Listen up - I'm sorry, but there's something you need to know." |
