The Ancient Plaque's inscription as seen in game.

An ancient plaque can be found outside of Nex's chamber, inside the God Wars Dungeon. The plague can be read, displaying an inscription.

Transcript

Vita brevis breviter in brevi finietur,
mors venit velociter quae neminem veretur,
omnia mors perimit et nulli miseretur.

The text, which is in Latin, is translated as such:

Life is short, and will shortly end,
Death comes quickly, which fears no one
Death destroys all, and has pity for none.

Trivia

  • The inscription on the plaque is taken from the lyrics to "Ad Mortem Festinamus", a medieval song which served as a memento mori, a reminder of the certainty of death.
