Talk:Tome of the Rubicon
From Guild Wars Wiki
Some thing that's been bugging me, at the end of the one Sorrow's Furnace quest with the high priest, isn't the Tome basically buried underneath all that rubble? If so, then just who exactly dug it up and utttered the name of the Great Destroyer? Things like this really made me wish Guild Wars had a more coherent storyline that tied up most of it's loose ends. 24.0.66.172 20:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia - "Crossing the Rubicon"
Antique Roman law prohibited any roman legion from crossing this river, which marked the boundary between the northern province of Cisalpine Gaul (nowadays northern Italy) and the "heart" of Italia: The Italian peninsula was regarded a part of Rome and off limits to troops, preventing military thread to the people and the senat of Rome. In 49 B.C., Julius Caesar crossed this border with his legions to gain political control over Rome, triggering the Great Roman Civil War (49–45 BC) and finally becoming Dictator Perpetuo[1]. He is credited with having spoken his famous phrase "alea iacta est" (meaning 'the die has been cast' and NOT 'the die have fallen') while doing the crossing, well aware that this was a irreversible "point of no return" for him.
