Iridescent Inscriptions are an exploration mechanic in Natlan. They take the form of glowing golden patterns, which can be found carved into solid surfaces or floating in the air on their own. They can also be fragmented and reassembled.

Overview[]

The Traveler can interact with Iridescent Inscriptions by touching them. In response, the Inscription may:

  • Lead the player somewhere (similar to a Seelie)
  • Activate a mechanism
  • Teleport the player to a different location
  • Show readable text (like a record)

Lore[]

Iridescent Inscriptions were once used by the ancient dragons of Natlan to wield the primal fire, Phlogiston.[1] Phlogiston Engravings are their modern equivalent, supposedly created by the humans who received Phlogiston from Kukulkan.[2]

Today, Iridescent Inscriptions have been scattered across Natlan and are thus not a common sight. The people of Natlan can no longer decipher them, but they do understand how they affect Phlogiston on an intuitive level.[1]
