Chapter 8

Azhelak liked to get close to outsiders and listen to their conversations. He learned
a lot of mainland Thera from this. He learned of the Empire and the politics of law. He
also heard a young High-Elf praying to a Goddess of Purity, asking her to bless his blade
as he waged war against evil. Risking ruin Azhelak presented himself to the Elf, who
startled pulled his mithril blade and prepared for a fight.

Shielding his face and taking a humble stance Azhelak begged for the young warrior to
tell him of the Goddess. That he couldn't explain why but he had to know. The Elf, out of
a sense of obligation told the felar all he could of both Baerinika and the Fortress.
When he asked Azhelak what happened to him he mentioned the Ancients. The Elf told him he
should seek the Outlanders for aid.

When Azhelak returned to the Guardians he told them of the Goddess, the Outlanders of
Thar-Eris and the threats of civilization against the wilds. The Guardians decided he should
venture out and seek to cure them of the affliction by seeking out the Goddess and destroying
everything vile in the realms. Especially any of those who attempt to avoid or exploit
death with magic.

Before he left they handed him a simple cloth mask that closely resembled a potato sack.
Burned lightly into the center of the bag was a sigil that adorned both the old altars and
allegedly the Spear: the rune of Purity.
