Whispers to the Dark XII

by Raphael

It is done my queen, the hag Barithia is destroyed, and with her the curse I hope.

I am gracious for your wisdom, for without, I fear we would have been hunting her across the swamp for weeks. When we had come across her dwelling, she had vanished into the ethereal and we could not follow. I will take your words to heart and seek honesty with my companions once safe in the town again, they will learn that there is nothing to fear from you, or indeed me. They certainly have potential and power, and I intend to continue with them unless you command it otherwise.

With the hag's journal in hand, we have answered some questions and raised a few more. The third sister was named Seleena and died at Barithia’s hand, through some disagreement over their revenge against the people of Drynna. Althia apparently left and has her ‘own plans for Drynna’, which does not bode well in my eyes, but all three were driven from Drynna after taking action to save the town from the Chroma-Conclave attacks some decades ago. It sounds like another example of people not understanding the fey, and their ignorance leading to violence. Though, in truth, the hags had taken the direct action against the people, but there will a need to ask some questions of the sunset lodge and their role in this tragedy.

Barithia had enthralled the people of Bel and they stood dumbstruck whilst we tried to reason with the hag, who had become quite delirious, curious that her madness had affected her so, I was admittedly tired from the enduring tasks of the day, but I tried to use the logic and reason of our court, I even invoked your name to see if it would lessen her rage, but to no avail. With your help I managed to remove the heartstone from her, and then we ended it.

There are still a few questions for the morning, what role have the gnolls played in this affair? Is the curse truly ended? And what of these snarled ley-lines? And how do we return these people to Drynna?

But until then good night, and thank you.
