Completing this quest will lower the effect of the Aura of Crimson Mists AE in the Demi-Plane of Blood by one level.
Upon looting a Sister's Handkerchief (from the handbag following the Wailing Sisters event OR ultra-rarely from ascendants of blood in the Demi-Plane of Blood), you receive the following message: As you touch the Sister's Handkerchief, you momentarily gain an understanding of the Demi-Plane of Blood. Perhaps if you showed it to the right individual in Dreadspire they could help you to understand more. Find Ariahn Teller in the Library of Dreadspire Keep. You say, 'Hail, Ariahn Teller' Ariahn Teller laughs uproariously, breaking her own rule of silence in the library. 'Oh, _____, you have one of the Wailing Sister's andkerchiefs! The helpless, whining, sycophant. She was exiled from the Master's Keep, wasn't she? If you only knew how delighted that makes me. Tell me, did she kick and scream when they escorted her out? Blubbered like a newborn baby, no doubt. I'd give you anything for that little conversation piece. Even better, I'll share with you the greatest secret in all of Dreadspire. Please, let me have it!' Ariahn Teller smirks and pockets the square of cloth. '_____, allow me to demonstrate what it means to rewrite history. No doubt, you've heard the tale of Tserrina Syl`Tor? It's well known that she and Mayong Mistmoore had a falling out, but what was the real reason? Rumor has it that she created the first dracoliche and he [feared retribution] from the gods for involvement in the creation of the undead dragon. Perhaps Mayong considered making her his equal, but a [glimpse into the future] showed that she would grow powerful enough to turn on him. Or perhaps Mayong gifted Tserrina with immortality, but an unexpected side effect of undeath was that it [killed her ability to love] him in return, and all his attempts to rekindle her affections were for naught. Or, perhaps Mayong simply [grew tired] of Tserrina, as he does all things. What do you think? You gain experience!! You say, 'Maybe he feared retribution.' You feel as though you have been judged, and that this decision may affect you sometime in the future. Ariahn Teller nods. 'This is the generally accepted historical account of how Tserrina and Mayong had their falling out. She presented the dracoliche as a gift to him on their wedding night. Fearing that he would share the responsibility for its creation he left her at the altar. Tserrina was furious. She slew her entire wedding party, destroyed any signs of her betrothed, and now sulks in the Tower of Frozen Shadow. This is a plausible explanation of their situation, but not terribly creative on your part, _____. I was attempting to demonstrate how to rewrite history and you simply let events stand as they were. Are you certain you don't wish to change your mind?' You say, 'Maybe it was a glimpse into the future.' You feel as though you have been judged, and that this decision may affect you sometime in the future. Ariahn Teller nods. 'Well put, _____. Though Mayong wished to share his power with another, he had seen the future. It was only a matter of time before Tserrina would attempt to slay him and usurp his position. The loss of trust was tangible. Tserrina was understandably hurt and took her leave. Mayong held no ill will toward her and allowed her to depart and live a separate life within the icy confines of the Tower of Frozen Shadow. This is a plausible explanation of their situation. Perhaps untrue, but that does not matter. History is a point of view, not a fact, and you just twisted it to your whim. The history books shall be rewritten as you commanded, _____, and THAT is true power.' You say, 'Maybe undeath killed her ability to love.' You feel as though you have been judged, and that this decision may affect you sometime in the future. Ariahn Teller nods. 'Well put, _____. Mayong and Tserrina were madly in love. He gifted her with immortality by making her into a vampire but the transformation had an unexpected side effect. It killed Tserrina's feelings. She was no longer capable of loving anything. Mayong tried desperately to rekindle her emotions but was unsuccessful. He reluctantly allowed her the freedom to depart and live a separate life within the icy confines of the Tower of Frozen Shadow. This is a plausible explanation of their situation. Perhaps untrue, but that does not matter. History is a point of view, not a fact, and you just twisted it to your whim. The history books shall be rewritten as you commanded, _____, and THAT is true power.' You say, 'Maybe Mayong grew tired of her.' You feel as though you have been judged, and that this decision may affect you sometime in the future. Ariahn Teller nods. 'Well put, _____. Mayong and Tserrina were madly in love. However, Mayong is fickle. Once his appreciation for her beauty faded, there was nothing left for him to admire. Conversation with her bored Mayong. There are few beings in existence with his vast knowledge. He was looking for an excuse to sever his ties with Tserrina when she slighted him on their wedding night and he left her forever. She now rots within the icy confines of the Tower of Frozen Shadow. This is a plausible explanation of their situation. Perhaps untrue, but that does not matter. History is a point of view, not a fact, and you just twisted it to your whim. The history books shall be rewritten as you commanded, _____, and THAT is true power.' Turning in the handkerchief lowers the effect of the Aura of Crimson Mists AE in the Demi-Plane of Blood by one level. (Is there any significance to the "you have been judged" message?) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
