Notes[]
- It is possible that this painting's name was was supposed to be "Prophecy", as the reward for it refers to a prophecy against the Erdtree in its description.
- Further, the reward for "Prophecy" are the spirit ashes of a bird that had its its wings badly wounded, its legs amputated and its home taken from them, which is more fitting of the "Flightless Bird" moniker.
