A Tale of Ownership
Last year, three priests came to Caligos Isle. They ventured there on Captain Junderthal’s ship and talked about how they had been chosen by their clergy to discover what was happening to the souls on Caligos.
Upon arriving, they discovered that the mist was not only poisoning the souls and bodies of the denizens that lived there but upon death was trapping them there as well. Tortured into a half-existence, the ghosts, waiflings, shades, and specters were forced to relive the moment of their death over and over and over.
With the aid of Adventurers, each priestess blessed the species that washed in with the tide. When they were FLIPPED at the ghosts, it would instill them with a bit of favor from the deity whose name they were blessed in. After a time, when some favor was washed away and replaced with new favor, the ghosts would either be released or eternally damned.
Near the Eve of Reunion…
Brother Brother Aoden brought those that supported him to a Mountain Shrine in the Dragonspine to perform a ceremony for the departed to guide them to Winter.
Priestess Priestess Lucinne brought those that supported her to the Sea of Fire to something known as Shield of Lapis. There, she performed a ceremony with the aid of others and consigned those they had saved to the service of Luukos.
Seer Seer Veidae brought those that supported them Wyrdeep Forest and into some hidden ruins where, they, too, performed a ceremony to guide those that had been saved to oblivion.
Confident in her followers, Olienne blessed the species given to her and continued to fight to keep the souls that Ghezresh had gathered with her. She had other tasks as well that kept her attention.
This year, after a year of being on the island, the three priests find themselves trapped on the island like many of its denizens. It seems that the longer you stay on Caligos, the harder it is to get away and only Captain Junderthal’s presence allows most to leave but he guarantees they will return.
As such, they find themselves with additional knowledge, additional purpose, and are prepared to fight for this year.
Six ghosts, those that remain from the Original Fall of Caligos, wander the island. These are the first deceivers of Ghezresh and as such, they are more difficult to sway from their lord.
And as the Eve of Reunion nears, not all of the Priests of Death are prepared to meet their makers.
The Quest, A Tale of Ownership, begins on October 8th at 9pm.
The fight for the souls of the departed on Caligos has begun and you can help in the battle for their souls.
If you want to offer the haunted spirits redemption, then bring a ghezyte-veined sea glass bauble to Brother Aoden, who will bless them so that the ghosts can be entered into Lorminstra’s embrace.
If you want to offer eternal damnation, then bring a ghezyte-veined sea glass bauble to the Priestess Lucinne, who will bless them so that the ghosts can be conscripted into Luukos’ army.
If you believe that oblivion is the only path for the betrayers, then bring a ghezyte-veined sea glass bauble to Seer Seer Veidae.
If you believe that Ghezresh has a right to keep his Decivers, then bring a ghezyte-veined sea glass bauble to Father Thombe and he will infuse them with the power of Ghezresh.
This year, a fifth deity has entered the battle for these souls. Galaytea is here to offer forgiveness to those that turned away from her Grandfather, Charl, and offer them a peaceful place amid the sea where Lady Niima’s friends abide.
Once you have a blessing, find one of the haunted spirits and FLIP your species at them. You can analyze the species in case you are uncertain what the haunts look like.
There are only 6 such haunted spirits….
Will you decide their Fate?
