Remember when you were guiding Charles Reed through that underwater cave to find Harriet Dough? That's where this whole prophecy comes into play. It's revealed to Charles, and it goes a little something like this: > _Since dark aeons before the age of man, Cthygonnaar lies beneath the ground. In that eldritch prison rests the Dreamer's Hidden Daughter, bound to never leave_. > > _But there are those who would free the Daughter, if the Dreamer's Seed would only pass to Her. Each turn of the cycle those carrying the Seed are drawn to Cthygonnaar, driven by hidden visions_. > > _The Seal of Cthygonnaar will open the way. Many will try and perish. When the stars are right, and the Dreamer stirs in his house, one will succeed. The Daughter shall be freed, and from her swollen womb the Dreamer shall spawn once more._ Basically, this Seal is the key to unlocking something ancient and powerful tied to Cthygonnaar and this 'Dreamer' figure.
