Step 18

The Symbol of Need, governed by Lord Jastev, is obtained at the eighteenth step of the Order of Voln. This powerful symbol sends an image of the member's location to all other members within range. Since it can be used while dead, it affords a fallen victim a method to signal for help. There are, however, some locations where the symbol will not completely function (A Symbol of Need can be received but there is no associated location transmitted with it).

This call for aid is often answered by clerics, empaths and others who will attempt to reach the member and provide assistance. These rescuers will often transport the deceased member back to a safe location for healing and resurrection.
