Difference between revisions of "Black Rock Ledger"

Revision as of 20:43, 12 July 2012

The Black Rock Ledger is made up of pages strewn around Sanctuary. There are six pages known to be in the game although the ledger is at least 42 pages in length.

Each page is numbered, being 4, 8, 1, 16, 23 and 42 and they are all found in Act II.

It is not known what the pages are for or if more will be added with patches but it's hoped it'll lead to another secret level like Whimsyshire

Clues and Theories

If the numbers seem familiar it might be that you recognise them from the TV show LOST which were seen throughout the long-standing series and caused much speculation. The first letter of text from each of the six pages spells out DHARMA an initiative that appeared in LOST. Staying with LOST, The Black Rock was a mid-19th century ship that became shipwrecked en route to a mining colony.

Damn, I always thought that being a first mate would be more exciting. I guess I shouldn't expect much from a mining expedition. Ever since we set off from Kingsport, all I've done is sit out on deck and watch the deckhands argue.

Page 8 (db)

Haven't been able to get much sleep these past few days. Apparently my sea legs aren't as sturdy as I thought they'd be. I've vomited more times than I can count, and every time Captain Hanso offers me some ale, I have to come up with some excuse to decline.

• Captain Hanso - Reference to Magnus Hanso who captained The Black Rock ship that appeared in LOST

Page 15 (db)

After three straight days of this storm, I'm almost convinced that this ship has some sort of curse on it. Each week brings some new trouble that I have to deal with. I'm not sure what will give out first, the ship... or me.

Reyes tells me that it was some colossal wave that did the ship in. I was down below when it all happened. Several of us survived the wreck. The rest of them have gone off to try and figure out where the hell we are, as if any of that matters.

• Reyes - Reference to Hugo "Hurley" Reyes, one of the main characters from LOST.

Page 23 (db)

Madness, complete bloody madness. The captain has disappeared into the desert somewhere, and the rest of the survivors are convinced there's some sort of monster after us. I'm starting to think the crewmen that died in the wreck got the easy way out, lucky bastards.

Page 42 (db)

All the rest of them are dead now... I'm the only one left. Strange deformed creatures attacked the wreck, where most of us were sleeping. I managed to get away safely... but I don't imagine it will be that way for long. I can hear... giggling in the shadows, like this is some kind of game. -- First Mate McMahon
