She’d have divulged where she was taking Atandil if she’d known the destination, but the direction was the only information available to her. Even that knowledge took continued effort to obtain, and Raëlta continually worked her magic to ensure their path remained true through the chaotic and...

Raëlta remained still with her eyes closed, the air humming with meditative energy. She didn’t know the entity’s disposition beyond what had been briefly observed. She couldn’t know what she had barely been able to see, given the strain of her rapid rejoining, and all she could ascertain about...

Raëlta stood silent and strong in the face of the unrecognizable being. As it spoke, the priestess listened carefully to both what was said, and how it had been spoken. She still didn't quite know what it was, and apprehension towards it's intent remained high. Yet the being had promised an...

It was a great relief to sense Atandil reaching for her, and Raëlta both beckoned and ushered him within what security she could provide. In her still addled state, she was unable to observe the being with the same clarity as he. Though there were many malevolent entities she ought rightly be...

Raëlta took the offered tincture with both hands, gingerly raising the vessel to her lips with a steady sip to down the contents. Pulling up the cuff of her sleeve, she dragged her wrist across her lips. Then, she passed the empty cup back to Sylrae, who had a look of concern on her face. “Do...

Her head was still reeling from the reaction. She'd been observing from a vantage point far closer than the rest, with her mind's eye wide open and vulnerable to the eruption Atandil had caused. “I'll need a moment...” Raëlta replied, with a hand still rubbing her temple. She took careful...

Raëlta watched on, at first with mirth and then concern as his hand rose up towards the floating Shoraes above him. This was precisely what she had explicitly warned not to do! “Atandil!” She called out. With former concerns foregone, Raëlta sought to save him from his fate, but she'd not the...

Raëlta observed as Atandil’s vision continued to take form, the scene around him shifting. The priestess remained silent, with her attention on the changing dreamscape as the collection of lights and glowing tethers joining them moved around. He seemed unsure what to make of it, and Raëlta left...

Raëlta’s mind peered into the dream along with the rest, observing all. The dream was Atandil’s to have–a perception of his surroundings shaped by his subconscious in ways unknown. It could be seen that Atandil’s perception of himself had taken a substantial change, too. His limbs were no longer...

"What is this? What are you showing me!?" “The vision is not ours.” Spoke the eldest of the seers, in a gravelly voice. “All that you’ve thus far seen is what you show to yourself.” Raëlta added, in explanation. The induced trance was no hallucination. The collective had not placed any idea or...

Raëlta could sense Atandil's apprehension. It was expected, common to most all who had embarked upon the gruelling ritual. Hardship was certain, but the reward awaiting him would be more than worth the pain ahead. He surely knew this well, for he'd not be here otherwise. Raëlta looked to Nolmo...

“Take what time you need, and rise when you are ready.” Raëlta returned a solemn nod, and spoke simply in response. She then turned and made her way back, leaving Atandil to himself for the moment he needed. Raëlta remained nearby but out of sight as she awaited the signal to reapproach. The...

By now, Raëlta had overseen many initiations. An outsider might find it a bit odd that one of temperament as warm as hers would officiate such a gruelling ritual, but the agony was considered another form of care. To spare the suffering would leave the new soul unprepared for the pain that their...

"The Conclave will do all it can, Raëlta, but ultimately the collective is going to be looking to its faith - even questioning it," Spoke Ánië. “A task unlike any other...” Raëlta replied. Determined as she was, she still held great worry over what the outcome might be. It would now be upon her...

The revelation was dreadful. She had solemnly sworn to lead in even the darkest times, but even in her wildest worries, Raëlta could never have imagined a scenario as horrible as this. That the darkness had claimed their will and memory was known, but the dark acts they'd been forced to commit...
