No doubt he clings to that orb like it’s his adopted mother's own nurturing breast. Dusk carried the Moon Orb into the Lunaris and has not returned with it, not as far as I have seen. I've been keeping a close eye on that exile-turned-sycophant who calls himself 'The Dusk'. That orb is the seed that must be stolen from this new son of hers, and planted at the feet of his ancient mother. An exile who, in his insanity, has taken to calling himself, 'The Dawn’. The Sun Orb lies within her temple, guarded by her most ardent devotee. These owl eyes of mine have been watching the sun goddess from afar. Yet there exists a pair of ancient treasures, the Sub Orb and the Moon Orb. We are cornered animals, awaiting the deluge that will surely drown us. Siblings equal in strength, mighty twin rivers converging, sweeping all before them. Lunaris, Eternal goddess of the Moon and her sister, Solaris of the Sun, have risen to reclaim what was once their own. I wish that we could be greeting under fairer skies, yet this city remains clouded in strife. Because of you, this land lives to see another dawn. I’m not saying the war is over, but you’ve given Wraeclast a much needed respite. Piety and Dominus, the Harbingers of Nightmare. You have claimed the most worthy of prey, Makoru. We dwell in a city of death, and my respect is all the honour I can bestow on you. Were we in Ngamakanui, I’d make you a makanga, an honoured warrior. To kill a man like Dominus, that’s an accomplishment worthy of Kaom, my greatest ancestor. Because of you, this land lives to see another dawn.Īnd don’t forget that you’ve done Grigor a justice of some magnitude. An over-reaching witch, floundering out of her depth. Still, they're not immune to mortality's touch. Left to their own devices, they're likely to survive for hundreds more. the Undying have been around for hundreds of years. When you speak with him, be sure to know from which world his words arise.Ĭitizens of Sarn that was. one foot planted on this soil, one in the dirt of spirit and shadow. I don't know the right word in Oriathan, but in Karui it means 'he who wins wars with false promises'. He's no warrior nor spirit-singer He's a korangi. A lie is a death sentence in Ngamakanui, so I was raised a daughter of Truth. Hargan is a man of many claims, and those claims seldom dance harmoniously together. The dark is their home, and there’d be nowhere more homely to the Undying than a pitch-swathed drain under a river.Ĭlarissa will weep for Tolman. If you manage to destroy it, expect a storm of undeath to descend upon you. Yet, the more of a picture you paint of that Undying concoction in the sewers, the less I want to see it. If I knew how to cross the river safely, I'd be wearing Greatest conquest the Karui had ever seen. Kaom took Lord Lioneye's head and the southernĬoast all the way to the Siren's Cove. Raised his Purity Rebellion in the heart of the Empire, Thebrus bent on his knee to my ancestor, King Kaom,Īnd promised freedom in return for war. It's an often-told story among the Karui. What’re they looking for? Only that which is best left unfound. Now the Blackguards scour Sarn like hungry maggots on a carcass. You found it near the Solaris Temple? Then perhaps that’s where you should look for your answers.ĭominus and his Ebony Legion arrived some time ago. This Ribbon Spool device… why would the Blackguards want to protect it, on this side of the river too? What is its import to them? And why have they not taken it back to their encampment? Very mind from the skulls of our enemies. If you are able, traverse the river and murder With cowards and lackwits unable to lift a finger General Gravicius demands absolute obedience from Tolman isn’t deserving of Clarissa, but she’ll not smile until he’s by her side. Yet that gentle heart remains in jeopardy. She is the gentle heart of this place, a spirit still capable of love in this wasteland of hatred. Maramoa Patua thanks you, exile, for returning our Clarissa to us. She is a Karui woman descended from Kaom. Unlike other exiles, Maramoa intentionally became an exile to be free of slavery in Oriath.
