    Synopsis:

    Players try to uncover the hidden messages in the Orpheus Chapters. They will be able to automatically decipher them if they have received Chapter 2 from the Gith Boy or found the Gith Cipher in the Underdark.

    Once a chapter has been set as Read, the true story will be available as a book the next time they interact with the item.

    How to trigger:

    Pick up or read any of the still locked Orpheus Chapters
