Strong Start
The doors close behind you leaving you in complete and utter darkness. You feel the magic that fills this place. If you have darkvision you can see you are standing on a bloodstained bridge that extends over a chasm of swirling silver mist. On the far side of the bridge is a closed double door of black stone inscribed with a circle containing a profile of a woman. The symbol is gouged with deep marks, as if something with claws has tried, but failed, to scour it from the stone.
Scenes
Secret and Clues
Check off when revealed.
- [ ] The Battle of the Barbed Fields was a climactic battle of the Calamity, in which the devotees of the Prime Deities broke through the garrison at the Betrayer’s Rise and reached the wall of Ghor Dranas.
- [ ] Alyxian was born in the lands of Wildemount under full Ruidus, which cursed him to endure a life of suffering. He decided to spend his life shielding others from pain, since he was already doomed to suffer.
- [ ] He fought in the Calamity and was called the Apotheon because he beseeched the gods for power three times and three times received it - first on the shores of Wildemount, again in the depths of the Betrayer’s Rise, and once more in a temple of Corellon the Arch Heart in a city of elves and orcs in the jungles of Marquet. These divine gifts transformed him from a mortal being into something more. Alyxian says that the city of elves and orcs was destroyed centuries ago. (This is partly true; the city Alyxian speaks of is now the underwater ruin called Cael Morrow)
- [ ] Alyxian is imprisoned in an underwater place lit by a crimson glow. He grows angry as he explains that mortals are harvesting the source of the glow and leaving him in darkness, and that this act is torture for him. (This is both true and an indication of the Apotheon’s emotional state; his fury is simmering beneath his sorrowful demeanorl.)
