Tarkleigh knows another way to reach the Prison. Access the Karui Fortress to find a way.
  • Travel through the Karui Fortress to reach the Prison

    • Area: The Mud Flats
    NPC:
  • Bestel Tukohama: With Kitava now stomping around Oriath, it seems mythology is fast turning into reality.

    Then again, the gods didn't just spring out of some poet's head. I certainly couldn't pen an ode to the God of Eternally Flowing Ale and then just stick me mug out to catch the free brew.

    No, I imagine the gods once dined, danced and defecated just like you or I. Now they seem ready to take another stab at it... at life, I mean.

    Take the Karui Father of War, for instance. Old Tukohama. All comfily tucked up in Kaom's holdfast and playing war like a few thousand years was only a quiet weekend for him.

    Come to think of it... perhaps it was!
  • Sin The Father of War: From here to the Beast, the journey is long and arduous. You are strong, for a mortal, yet the beating of this war drum shall burst your human heart. So we must fortify it with something a little more divine in nature.

    While a god may fall, their essence lingers, a quiet cacophony outside of your perception. That essence can be yours, to galvanise your will and invigorate your body.

    I have the perfect first donor for us. Tukohama, the Father of War. In a pool once foul and fetid, he has raised a fortress now ferocious and fearsome. Best you pay him a visit before he also raises that ugly son of his, and unleashes him upon what remains of Wraeclast.
  • Tarkleigh The Karui Fortress: The Submerged Passage... it's underwater again and there's no sign of those shells you used to drain it.

    Fortunately, there's another way to reach Axiom Prison and beyond, a path I scouted out myself, through what was once the Fetid Pool and then along the Ridge above it.

    Problem is, whatever's brought those Karui revenants to life has also sealed the pool entranceway with a bloody great totem.

  • Use the missing eye to access the Karui Fortress

    • Area: The Mud Flats
    NPC:
  • Tarkleigh The Eye of Conquest: That Karui relic you're carrying... looks bloody familiar. Yeah, I've seen it's twin stuck in that totem guarding Tukohama's doorstep. If I were you... and in this case I'm glad I'm not... I'd see about putting that eye back where it belongs. It might do nothing at all, but it's at least worth a shot, I reckon.

  • Access the Karui Fortress

    • Area: The Mud Flats
    NPC:
  • Tarkleigh The Karui Fortress: The Fetid Pool's lost its stink. Washed clean, like the Autumn rain that gives Theopolis its only decent bath for the year.

    And turns out, when you scrub away the fetid filth, there's a Karui fortress underneath. Probably built by King Kaom himself. Now home to... I don't even know what. Needless to say, I didn't get too close, but looks like it's big, Karui, and right royally pissed off about something.
  • Tarkleigh Karui Revenants: Seems Tukohama's raised up a host out of whatever afterlife you Karui believe in. I feel for those poor bastards, if I'm to be honest. You Karui haven't had an easy history. Colonised, enslaved, used as pawns in many a war, and now abused in death by your own bloody god.

    This is why I don't follow any deity. They're all as bad as each other.

    • Area: Lioneye's Watch
    NPC:
  • Akoya Tukohama: You have wounded us, outsider. Though he has slept for thousands of years, Tukohama plays a very real role in our cultural and spiritual lives. He helped create the Way, and he set the Ngakuramakoi on the proper path. With the defeat of our god, my tribe will suffer a mark of shame and a spiritual restlessness that I cannot overstate. I understand why you did what you did, and I will try to remain fair to you, but I am not certain I can ever forgive what you've done.

  • Bestel Shavronne of Umbra: Screams. Howls and booms of unholy intonation. The shriek and clank of some unfathomable apparatus and the pervading stench of scorched flesh and boiling blood. That's Axiom Prison now that our lady of Umbra has come home to roost.

    As a poet, I have nothing against a little creativity. Yet while I might mould word and wonder, Shavronne's art tends towards the visceral. Flesh, bone and soul.

    Artistic pursuit is the loftiest of callings, but in this instance, I believe some rigorous criticism is in order.
  • Kaom Tukohama's Defeat: {You} defeated Tukohama in battle? No, you defeated a shadow of the Father of War. He was weakened by his long sleep, or by the pervasive Corruption of Wraeclast. You struck when he was feeble and confused. Keep your ego small.

    Hmm... perhaps {I} could be the next Father of War... if such a thing is possible....

  • Navali Tukohama's Defeat: How is it that a mortal defeated our Father of War in his domain? No, it was not solely you. Your alliance with the Thief of Virtue is a ghastly one. However, your prowess in combat cannot be denied. You have earned our respect, not our ire, for this victory. Such is our Way.

  • Sin Tukohama: I am Sin, Thief of Virtue, and it is mine to take what I will from the defeated, to make a gift of it to the victorious.

    Alas, your mortal frame cannot withstand the unfettered fire of deism. It would turn your blood to mist and scorch your precious flesh black. So choose modestly and choose wisely, for there is much more at stake here than your little hopes and dreams.

  • Tane Octavius Tukohama: Though I know little of my natural heritage, I know enough to understand the implications of your victory against the Karui God of War. Did his long slumber weaken him, or have the gods been greatly exaggerated through the evolution of myths? In either case, this undoubtedly means we will find no divine help against the intrinsic darkness. They are not the keepers of mankind many believed them to be.

  • Tarkleigh Shavronne of Umbra: Axiom Prison has been fairly quiet since you saw fit to retire its warden. Afraid that's no longer the case.

    Shavronne of Umbra, the very witch that made Brutus the man he was. I don't know if she's a ghost, a ghoul or some other death-scorning creature I've never heard of, but she's up there, tinkering away with her black arts and twisting nature around her bony old fingers.

    Honestly, I don't care why she's come back or what cruelty she's brewing up there. She's a boil that needs lancing before the infection spreads.
  • Tarkleigh Tukohama: You've killed the Karui war god? Can you kill a god?

    Look, I can't even begin to understand what you've just done. Bestel will be able to put our gratitude into words more fitting of a legend. Me, I'll work with what I know. A solid reward for a damn fine deed.
  • Whakano, the Barber Tukohama: Listen, I don't want to be a nay-sayer, but before you started coming around here, we didn't have none of this god nonsense. They were just characters in stories. Ways to get the kiddos to eat their greens. And that was fine! In fact, I preferred it that way!

    Now? We've got characters coming to life! And then you're killing 'em! You're killing our heroes! Tukohama was one of the good guys! You better finish what you started.
  • Sister Cassia Innocence: The Innocence you slew was not the God I know. My God is selfless. Humble. Yes, he is prone to burning sinners, but who among us isn't?

    You just wait, Exile. Eternity will prove me right.

  • Faustus, the Fence Oriath: Awful business, what happened to Oriath. Terrible. Just terrible. I was lucky. Safely out at sea with my crew.

    I hope those responsible are held accountable, barring those with whom I have ongoing business, of course. I suspect they were merely in the wrong place at the wrong time. Can't blame someone for having rotten luck!
  • Helena Oriath: Many of the Blackguard are still alive and scattered across Wraeclast, but the organisation has had its back broken after what happened in Oriath. I wouldn't want to run into a random knot of them, especially as they start to get hungry and desperate, but I believe their concerted search for us has ended. That'll give us some breathing room to face new problems.
  • Jun, Veiled Master Oriath: I'd not believe you if I had not witnessed the boats lurching onto the shores of Wraeclast myself. So... The gods have returned, and Oriath has fallen. This complicates things, to say the least.

    Exile, I believe the Syndicate has been planning to form a new government. The Templar were cruel, but at least they were mortal. If the Syndicate's power continues to grow, they will be able to rule Wraeclast and beyond without fear of reprisal, and we mere mortals will have no choice but to serve, or fuel their cycle of death and rebirth.

  • Navali Kitava: We do not despise Kitava. He is a blind child, cursed with endless hunger, and he knows no better. Hinekora foresaw his fall, and we have already mourned his passing.

  • Nenet, the Scout Strange Voice: Sometimes, when you are near, I hear whispers. Even though I have the best ears among all these thieves, I cannot make out the words... but they sound like my constant companions - my depression, paranoia, and hatred - when I am at my worst. Be careful, Exile.
  • Whakano, the Barber Kitava: Troubling news coming out of Oriath. I know you weren't just involved, but smack-dab in the middle of things. I also know you aren't to blame. Not directly, anyway.

    Still, you might imagine that I feel some... animosity about the whole situation. Not least of all because the presence of Kitava is quite literally a doomsday scenario for my people.

    I trust you'll sort it out, 'cause if you don't, we're through. And I don't just mean no more business.
