 The Vvrael warlocks are able to cast the Itchy Curse, which can lead to them dropping their whip and taking your weapon. If this is the runestaff of a pure it will be very difficult to retrieve the weapon. The solo options include killing it with an [[730|animate]] or disarming it with the disarm maneuver.

			The ghost of the Ashrim royal mage [[Ruin Creek\|Malaphor]] said that the Vvrael witches and warlocks were sorcerers of this world who had been corrupted with the [[anti-mana]] of the [[Vvrael]] over the millennia, like [[Terate]] himself though not nearly to the same extent. They had found their way to the rift themselves, though obviously not through the [[Eye of the Drake]]. The Vvrael itself is an extra-planar sentience.

			The word "Vvrael" is probably loosely based on "Vritra", the Vedic serpent demon of darkness, who was slain by Indra with a mace forged by the artisan god. In the Vvrael quest this was to be the mace of Eonak held by Risper. It is interesting to note that Shiva is essentially the later development of Indra, where there is a future story of a demon who cannot be harmed by anything with arms attempting to kill all of the gods at the top of the holy mountain, which is then defeated with a vast swarm of hornets and wasps. This may be the root of the [[greenwing hornet]]s, [[vaespilon#Behind the Scenes\|vaespilon]], and the "angry hornets" messaging on the Vvrael warlocks. Shiva is the god who meditates constantly on top of the mountain, like [[Koar]], and is the destroyer of demons. His attendants are called [[Mount Aenatumgana#Behind the Scenes\|the "gana"]].
