As the cold air that surrounds you condenses you feel it slowly ripple outward in waves that turn the breath of those nearby into a fine mist. This mist swiftly moves to encompass you and you feel a pair of wings arc over your back. With the last words of your chant, you open your eyes and watch as foggy wings rise above you and gently brush against Deader. As they dissipate in a cold rush against Deader, you feel a surge of power spill forth from you and into him. |

As the cold air that surrounds her condenses it beings to ripple outward in waves that turns the breath of those nearby into a fine mist. This mist swiftly moves to encompass Paladin and slowly coalesces into a pair of ethereal wings that settle into a protective arc over Deader. With the last words of her chant, the wings surge forward and gently caress Deader, only to dissipate moments later taking the chill of the air with it. |

:Moss green marble walls rise from black-veined white floor tiles only to disappear in the shrouded darkness of the ceiling. Solace fills you in the deep silence of the sanctuary, while a slight breeze carries the odd feather past you. A faint luminescent light glows from somewhere nearby, its source unseen. |

It lifts you up into its arms and you feel as if you have found home in its embrace. |

Kneeling beside Cleric, it gently lifts him into its arms and cradles him there for several moments. |

Revision as of 21:22, 12 May 2010
Gosaena, known as the Mistress of Eternity, is the Arkati of death.
Her servants take the form of angels.
Shrines, Statuary, and Holy Places
Cleric Guilds
Displayed in the Prayer Rooms of each Cleric Guild is a state of Gosaena. These prayer rooms are considered a holy shrine to multiple deities.
Beautiful and ethereal, Gosaena looks at you with serene impartiality. Peeking out beneath her full cloak are a pair of sturdy wings. Held carelessly in her hand is a lethal-looking sickle. The curve of her sickle mirrors the curve of her lip.
>touch Gosaena
You reach out and touch the statue of Gosaena.
Silence fills your mind, as quiet as Gosaena's embrace.
Wehnimer's Landing Cleric Guild
Located in the Antechamber of Others is a statue of Gosaena. This area is not considered a holy shrine.
This sculpture portrays a beautiful woman with pale skin, long silver hair, and ice blue eyes. She is clad in grey robes and a grey cloak that fails to completely cover her brilliant white-feathered wings. Upon the sculpture's base is her symbol, a silver sickle on a field of green.
Kharam Dzu Cleric Guild
Just inside the entrance to the Kharam Dzu Cleric Guild is a pair of statues depicting Gosaena and Luukos. This room is not considered a holy shrine.
Two statues, one carved from shimmering glaes and the other from soapstone in a sickly shade of green, glare at each other in the center of the room. The figures stand on a pedestal of black stone, words painstakingly chipped into the surface.
>look statues
A thin woman in layered robes stands rigid, hatred written into every carved line. Across from her stands a man of faintly reptilian cast, forked tongue flickering out as if to mock his opposer. Each glares at the other, obviously distrustful of what one another will do.
>read pedestal
In the Common language, it reads:
"Only in death can we truly understand the Gods."
In the room with Guild Master Kordrum is a statue dedicated to Gosaena. It is considered a holy shrine.
[Cleric Guild, Lava Room]
The room is filled with bubbling magma. A small island sits in the center of the pool, connected to the outside by a thin stone bridge. On the island stands a tall statue of a woman, her wings stretching high into the cavern. Pieces of skeletons ring both shores of the lava lake, some trying to crawl away, others towards the beautiful statue. A pedestal of stone rests at her feet. You also see a small tunnel and Guild Master Kordrum.
>read pedestal
In the Common language, it reads:
"Death is the ultimate journey."
