Renaesella enticed recruits with promises of accessing hidden truths and transcending mortal limits. Creating a society to uncover the remaining relics of Yxtarr—the Blade of Woe and the Shroud of Shadows.


Renaesella Vaeltigar, a scion of Olinth's aristocracy, was distinguished by her unquenchable thirst for arcane and macabre mysteries. Her relentless curiosity, combined with her familial resources, enabled her to embark on a journey that would forever alter the course of her life and shape the destiny of those who would later become known as the Angels of Death.   Selective Invitation: Renaesella's recruitment efforts were marked by a meticulous selection process. Through discreet channels and coded messages, she reached out to individuals whose intellectual prowess, open-mindedness, and ambition set them apart. Scholars, practitioners of the occult, and seekers of the unknown were targeted, with personal invitations extended to those she deemed worthy of her cause.   Demonstration of Power: To entice potential recruits, Renaesella skillfully showcased her growing mastery of dark magic and the secrets she had unearthed from Yxtarr's Grimoire—an ancient relic attributed to the goddess of death herself. Through a careful balance of mystique and revelation, she tantalized her audience with glimpses of her power, leaving them hungry for more.   Promise of Forbidden Knowledge: The allure of forbidden knowledge proved to be a potent catalyst for recruitment. Renaesella dangled the prospect of accessing hidden truths, uncovering the mysteries of life, death, and existence, and transcending the boundaries of mortal comprehension. This promise resonated deeply with those who yearned to push the limits of their understanding.   Secrecy and Exclusivity: The clandestine nature of the Angels of Death cultivated an air of exclusivity that heightened the appeal of membership. Renaesella emphasized the necessity of discretion, invoking an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue that surrounded the order. Potential recruits were drawn in by the idea of being part of an elite circle engaged in transformative pursuits.   Shared Ideals and Charismatic Leadership: Central to Renaesella's success was her ability to align the aspirations of her recruits with the ideals of the Angels of Death. By articulating a vision that challenged the conventional boundaries of life and death, she galvanized individuals who shared her insatiable curiosity, ambition, and desire for power. Her charismatic leadership served as a beacon, inspiring those around her to join her cause.   Quest for Relics: As the Angels of Death grew in numbers and influence, Renaesella harnessed their collective capabilities for a grander purpose—unearthing the remaining relics of Yxtarr. The Blade of Woe and the Shroud of Shadows, elusive artifacts that held untold power, became the focus of their search. Utilizing their individual talents and the esoteric knowledge garnered from Yxtarr's Grimoire, the Angels embarked on daring expeditions and intricate investigations to trace the whereabouts of these ancient treasures.   Under Renaesella's shrewd guidance, the Angels of Death became an organized and dangerous society, not only in their pursuit of forbidden knowledge but also in their relentless quest for the relics that would cement their connection to the goddess of death herself.
