Role

Chapter 2

The present core of the House of Johlesianathas is represented by
Thaedysiasiolidan and his son Caldysiasiolidan (otherwise known as
Thaedysias and Caldysias). Thaedysias is the eldest of the House and
the High Priest of the family's archaic tradition. Caldysias, his
Eldest son, is the House's chief Demonlogist, having been trained since
a very young age in the culture, traditions and characteristics of the
Abyss and the Nine Hells.

Caldysias' potential was obvious from a young age. He assisted his father
in driving out dark spirits from people who ranged from farmers in the
remote hillside to a prominent businessman in the city of Darsylon, where
the family has made it's home ever since. It was during this time that
the House began to investigate the Cult of Zurcon, the infamous Demon-Lord
of Desolation who the High-Elves had long ago imprisoned. This cult, which
at times had mingled with the Scions of Eternal Night, seeks to open the
box which holds the demon and turn his wrath loose upon Thera once again.

Caldysias, a soul born under the sphere of Purity, was particularily
offended by the demonic goals of this cult and spent all of his free
time researching the Cult and it's shrouded mortal leadership. It was
from this research that he discovered the case of a possessed woman
in the desert beyond Hamsah mu'Tazz named Sheayla. The locals said the
human woman, once a simple seamstress, had begun roaming the desert
while speaking in tongues and speaking in blasphemies. It was said that
the woman had been visited by strange creatures ranging from cloaked,
lithe figures to terrifying orcs.

Upon meeting the horribly sunburned woman it was obvious to the Elven
men that this woman was afflicted by the Shadow Plague. Her small hut
smelled of rotten flesh and was infested with snakes. She spit insults
at Thaedysias in perfect Drow and spoke Elvish backwards. If she was
to be saved it would have to be soon.
