    • Area: The Chamber of Sins
    NPC:
  • Eramir Arakaali: From what I can recall, Arakaali was a Vaal fertility goddess, a rather unsettling union of sexuality and mortality. Whilst usually presenting herself as a large arachnid, Arakaali would often assume human form, a ruse intended to lure mortals into the act of copulation. The entries were vague about the gender of her prey.

    After satiating her carnal desires, she would then quench her divine thirst, draining her erstwhile lover of all bodily fluid. Her acolytes would then collect the dessicated husk and give it a decorative placement in Arakaali's unholy temple.

    I fear that Silk knows not the true nature of the 'marriage' he so desperately seeks.
  • Eramir Arakaali's Temple: Unfortunately, Arakaali's temple lies beyond that which now belongs to Ralakesh. To reach the many-legged goddess you must first draw to some conclusion with the many-faced god.

    NPC:
  • Yeena Fireflies: You have found the resting place of this Arakaali? Good, though Spirit tells me that we will not reach her, not without help. Webs she weaves with fibres of faith and fear. Too strong to break. Too strong to cut.

    Yet there is an Azmeri potion, most ancient. 'Fire Dew'. It might be enough to burn a path, make way for us to pass into heart of spider web. I could brew it for you, but there is one ingredient I do not possess. The blazing blood of the firefly that lives in the most dreaded of thickets.

    Travel I shall to Arakaali, to sit on her doorstep until you bring me seven flames that flit and fly. Then I make you a Fire Dew and together we go talk to this bride of foolish Silk.

    NPC:
  • Eramir Silk: Poor Silk. Like so many before him, Silk succumbed to a most insidious disease. Ambition. That craving for greatness. An irresistible compulsion to leave one's mark on the world. There's another name for marks like that. Scars.
  • Sin Arakaali: Many an artist of Azmerian descent has engaged in the sad worship of that sultry arachnid, but you looked her in those hypnotic eyes, and then ripped them out. She lies in her bed of sordid memory... alone.

    A little of this spider yet creeps and crawls in my palm. A touch more power for my subduer of gods?

  • Yeena Arakaali: You hear that? No? It is Spirit singing as does the fly who escapes the web. Yes, it is most happy with us... and with your strange friend there too.

    He is a god, yes I can see that much. But why he helps you? Of all questions, that one you must have answer to.

    Now I must return to Broken Bridge... so tired now. We will speak more of Silk and sorrow then.

  • Yeena Silk: I miss my friend. Silk knew the Spirit as I did. We would talk, understand it, together. Now there is no one but me.
