the second one opened the gate that the priestess should have opened. not sure what the first one did. thanks a ton . i spent about 2 hours looking through the scripts for this one and never did find it. my last save was from first entering the dark river area, about 14 hours of game play ago.
also, if anyone wants to be able to get back into the dark river and not be forced to go back to the azure gallery, they can use this code:
sdf 133 16 1
this will open the front gate
(once you know which sdf code to look for it is pretty easy to find these things.)
