Legacy of Gol

Ixtli, the Anasazi monk from the Crimson Lowland claims to bear something he calls the "Legacy of Gol". The voices and visions that have haunted him his whole life have become stronger and more clear.

• "They have revealed to me the legacy I bear, the Legacy of Gol—a loa of death. I bear a fragment of its power, and that power demands to be fed."
• "The shadow that attacked us... is a manifestation of that power. I knew nothing of this before we started our journey, and sought to resist it when it appeared in my nightmares. But my defiance was futile. I could not stop it from appearing, or prevent it from attacking your brother on the ship, Chibuzo, or killing your household servants. I am sorry for their deaths, but I know of no way to have prevented them."
• "If the voices I hear are to be believed—and I do believe them—the shadow within me cannot be stopped, only satiated. But by feeding it, I will grow stronger—strong enough to withstand the power of the Crown, when we recover it."
• "That's why, if we now return to Port Nyanzaru, I would not wish to spend too long a time before resuming our quest. I can no longer live without conflict, and death.
• "My only path is forward."

Recently, Ixtli has encountered a manifestation of the Legacy, a shadowy creature that he has named Yollotl.
