The Ancille of D’Morte


You say, “Hail, The Ancille of D’Morte”

the Ancille of D’Morte says to you, “Who has called me from the bells of Deathtoll? ”

You say to the Ancille of D’Morte, “Spirit, what is your name?”

the Ancille of D’Morte says to you, “I have no name. Long ago I cast aside such things. Sworn to the House of D’Morte I was. Given a new life as an eternal servant to my master, Malkonis.”

You say to the Ancille of D’Morte, “You are the Ancille of D’Morte! ”

the Ancille of D’Morte says to you, “I am she, the handmaiden to the immortal master Malkonis. I await his calling within the gray of Ethernere.”

You say to the Ancille of D’Morte, “Where can I find Malkonis D’Morte? ”

the Ancille of D’Morte says to you, “My master is not to be found by the likes of you. ”

You say to the Ancille of D’Morte, “I seek the Ewer of Sul’Dae. Malkonis can help me find it.”

the Ancille of D’Morte says to you, “You seek the decanter of the Fyr’Un, the origin of undeath, the life giver of the D’Mortes. ”

You say to the Ancille of D’Morte, “The ewer created the D’Morte family? ”

the Ancille of D’Morte says to you, “The D’Mortes existed within the gates of Neriak long before they were graced with the presence of the Ewer of Sul’Dae. In their research of such an artifact of power they unleashed the gift of undeath to their bloodline. They became immortal.”

You say to the Ancille of D’Morte, “Did they share their gift with others of their kind? ”

the Ancille of D’Morte says to you, “The gift varies to those that are bestowed, but all are immortal in undeath. Such a gift the Teir’Dal empire was not ready for. The D’Morte house hid their secret, but eventually their ilk would learn and hunt them down, driving them from the empire of the Teir’Dal.”

You say to the Ancille of D’Morte, “Why would Malkonis give the ewer to the Godking? ”

the Ancille of D’Morte says to you, “The Godking pays homage to the lost goddess Anashti Sul, the power that created the Ewer of Sul’Dae. Such an artifact is highly desired by the Godking as well as the few others that know of the forgotten past. In return for safe haven from hunting ilk the ewer exchanged hands.”

You say to the Ancille of D’Morte, “You mentioned others that seek the ewer. Who are these others?”

the Ancille of D’Morte says to you, “You are an ‘other’ and those that wish to destroy the source of the Fyr’Un. Then there are those that have seen the ewer long before the Dead in Neriak procured such a prize. Beware those of ages lost. ”

You say to the Ancille of D’Morte, “I wish to preserve the ewer. Tell me where it is…please. ”

the Ancille of D’Morte says to you, “No. You wish to exchange the ewer for riches. You have no respect for it. But if you wish to face the ewer and its current owner then seek my master, Malkonis, he will help you on your way. ”

You say to the Ancille of D’Morte, “That’s what I asked for! Where can I find him? ”

the Ancille of D’Morte says to you, “As I said, you cannot find him. He will find you. Go and seek the Statue Court. Seek the ruins of the fallen behemoth in the Statue Court and my master shall come to you. Our words are at an end. I await my return the Ethernere, to the sweet song of the Deathtoll, sweet, sweet song.”

You say to the Ancille of D’Morte, “Farewell, Ancille of D’Morte.”

You say, “Hail, The Ancille of D’Morte”

the Ancille of D’Morte says to you, “Can you hear the bells of the Deathtoll? Can you hear them ringing for us?”

Lect’Zadh


Lect’Zadh says to you in Death’s Whisper, “I speak for the Godking. I am the record of residence. Who do you inquire about?”

You say to Lect’Zadh, “The Godking. ”

Lect’Zadh says to you in Death’s Whisper, “The Godking Anuk is the founder of the City of Life, Ahket Aken. He is also the prophet of the lost Goddess of Life, Anashti Sul. Long ago did he discover her lost shrine within the Elddar Empire. Through her forgotten words he rose from the ranks of the Elddar Empire and cast free the Dal religions. He is the only known chosen prophet of Anashti Sul. He is the all powerful ruler of Ahket Aken and is the harbinger of the gift of Anashti Sul, the gift of undeath. The Godking Anuk resides in the Inner Temple of the royal districts of Ahket Aken. ”

You say to Lect’Zadh, “Dalgin B’Dynn. ”

Lect’Zadh says to you in Death’s Whisper, “Dalgin B’Dynn is a recent acquisition to Ahket Aken. He is a half elf that hails from the city in the sun Maj’Dul. He betrayed his uncle for riches and found himself in the fields of Ethernere. He has been given new life within the City of Life. He has no permanent dwelling as of yet. ”

You say to Lect’Zadh, “the Ancille of D’Morte”

Lect’Zadh says to you in Death’s Whisper, “The Ancille of D’Morte is a nameless handmaiden to Malkonis D’Morte. She is responsible for his well being and the maintenance of the Temple of Blood. She drowned within the waters of the Fyr’Un. In keeping with her wishes her body was cremated in the Censer of Nief’Dakt. Her vital organs were placed in secret compartments beneath the Pools of Ahket Aken. Should Malkonis ever wish to speak to the essence of his ancille he need only activate the crimson switches of each of the four pools to acquire the organs needed to burn the magical censer. ”

You say to Lect’Zadh, “Malkonis D’Morte. ”

Lect’Zadh says to you in Death’s Whisper, “Malkonis D’Morte is a high ranking resident of Ahket Aken. He is the Teir’Dal pilgrim that entered the city from afar. He brought with him the Ewer of Sul’Dae, the powerful urn used by the lost goddess Anashti Sul, to create the river of life, the Fyr’Un. In return for this sacred artifact he was granted refuge within the hidden city. He once dwelt with his consort, the Rin Priestess of Fyr’Un, in the Temple of Blood in the Priestess Court of Ahket Aken.”

You say to Lect’Zadh, “Tell me more of his past.”

Lect’Zadh says to you in Death’s Whisper, “Malkonis D’Morte secretly began to hold bloody rituals within the Temple of Blood. Along with his consort he led many Ahketians into his chambers never to be seen again. If not for the great gift of the Ewer of Sul’Dae and the frequent, neccessary ewer rituals performed by his consort, the Godking would not have tolerated such atrocities. The secret bloodlust of Malkonis and the Rin Priestess of Fyr’Un would be kept a great secret for decades until the city’s demise. ”

You say to Lect’Zadh, “Where can I find Malkonis?”

Lect’Zadh says to you in Death’s Whisper, “Malkonis D’Morte’s current location is unknown. The only one that is able to divulge his whereabouts is the Ancille of D’Morte, mummified.”

You say to Lect’Zadh, “I am looking for someone else. ”
