Yizila is a Wedding Officiant that performs wedding ceremonies for those that purchase a wedding package from the Simucoin Store during Rings of Lumnis, Duskruin, Rumor Woods, or Ebon Gate.

Description

You see Yizila the Confessor of Sheru.
She appears to be Human.
She is very tall and of indeterminate age.  Long, straight black hair held in an intricate bun sharply contrasts her bright golden eyes.  Severe, angular features dictate her haunting face, leaving it both beautiful and terrifying at once.
She is in good shape.
Flowing black robes trimmed in delicate gold leaf drape from her thin, bony frame to trail behind her in an ebon wake.  She is holding a jackal-carved black ora holy sprinkler in her right hand.

Ceremony

The area darkens momentarily as Yizila strides forward.  Yizila's voice grates, a sound akin to a metal fork being dragged across a porcelain plate.  Speaking softly she says, "Is love the greatest emotion?  No.  Fear is.  Fear is the motivation for everything we do, regardless of if one chooses to recognize it or not.  Fear protects us, teaches us, drives us," she continues.

"GROOM and BRIDE have chosen to embrace their fears, sharing them with one another until they are as familiar as the sky above, and of no more consequence.  We gather today to ask Sheru to bless them with new fears, that they may grow together as one in the bonds of matrimony," Yizila says softly.

Glancing at you, Yizila menacingly asks, "Do you, GROOM, agree to take BRIDE's fears as your own, to lay your fears upon her, and to face them together from this day forth?"

Glancing at BRIDE, Yizila menacingly asks, "Do you, BRIDE, agree to take GROOM's fears as your own, to lay your fears upon him, and to face them together from this day forth?"
Success
Yizila nods once and says, "Sheru, we ask that you bless GROOM and  as they embark upon their shared journey to find comfort in their fears.  We ask that you continually grant them new fears, that they may continue to grow."

All light vanishes from the area, leaving a sense of emptiness.  Your eyes strain to make out any form in the oppressive darkness, and a vision of unimaginable terror assaults you.  Moments drag on to what feels like an eternity as your very soul shivers.

Light floods the area as the vision vanishes, leaving you feeling weakened.  "Sheru has answered.  I now pronounce you married under the law," says Yizila.  The area darkens momentarily as she exits.
Rejection
"It seems that the decision has been made to face life's fears alone.  There will be no wedding today.  Sheru does not judge," Yizila says flatly.  "Please feel free to enjoy the refreshments laid out for" you, she says.  The area darkens momentarily as Yizila exits.
