I have always wondered. It is in pre and I have always wondered who put it there and why. Does anyone know? Thanks for looking.
Does anyone know the story behind this?
-
Lots of developers tend to hide a little something of their own in their work, be it a mark, an easteregg or something along those lines. And I believe that's what this is.
-
A developer got married during the development and put this as easter egg.
-
anyone knows if they still married ?

Ostona seems on the money, it was the same answer given by a Wiki user in 2011.
The Lakeside County Talk page has the same question asked in 2010.

Unfortunately the question looks like it prompted it's removal from the list of Landmarks on the wiki page, but an answer followed that is still unverivied I guess:
- One of the programmers or designers working on Prophecies got married during development and this was included as a memento. ~~ Large 13:45, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Yep, that's what I read around 2007 in a Spanish forum of my old guild, but I believe the info was taken probably from another English website (perhaps Guru? I don't know) because Spanish GW communities always copied the info from the English ones, but I don't have any more clues either.
In its moment I looked at the credits and I thought it was Daniel Dociu (Studio Art Director) since it's the only name with "DD" and none with "SS" in the list and has been working there between 2003 - 2017, but this was never confirmed and could be anything imo, it wouldn't even have to be the initials of his name.

What are you doing leaving pre or still in pre as I never have seen that unless it is the devoured egg quest ?It means nothing .

Just because this little easter egg is not interesting to you does not mean it's irrelevant. I personally like knowing stories about little details in games.
