You whisper Ohholyone's name to your candle and feel it grow warm in your grip.

<Uh Oh – Naionna died!>

A sense of peace and calm settles over the area.
The ensigiled vigil candles provide the additional benefit of a major sanctuary when the cleric you choose responds to the summons. There are four variations of the major sanctuary you are drawn to based on the color of candle you choose - mix it up! Here's a sneak preview of the the journey of our favorite cleric friend, Ohholyone when responding to the summons!

You feel a tugging at your mind, and it is suddenly filled with a vision of the body of Naionna resting in a crimson room, with a flickering candle nearby. The flame calls to you, beckoning you closer.

** You are being summoned by Naionna to aid her in her time of need. If you wish to go to Naionna, ACCEPT
in the next minute and you will be instantly transported to her side and ushered into a Major Sanctuary.

NOTE: This is a one-way trip and you will need to travel back on your own. Upon exit of the sanctuary you may find yourself in a hostile area.
>accept
You give in to the call of the flame, allowing yourself to be taken to Naionna.

You are bathed in a crimson light and your surroundings shift...


[Crimson Falls]
Liquid fire cascades from a nearby falls, fingers of steam rising from the ink black blanket of water below as the two become one. Hints of twilight penetrate the overcast skies above and a light breeze whispers in the background. A few jagged obsidian rocks jut forth from the carpet of mist-riddled grass. The occasional smoky cloud drifts past, sparks of light reflecting from within where a lightning storm percolates.
Also here: the body of Naionna who is lying down
Obvious exits: out
A lit crimson vigil candle flickers nearby.
