General Summary
Overview:
After becoming the new Jarl of Luxen, Immerial Naïlo went to rest for the night but was awoken by his pillow erupting into flames. After putting out the fire, he turned around to find his patron, Tharkokath, waiting for him. Tharkokath explained that while in Baethorpe, he had slipped away to investigate the Cult of Zariel, which had been rumored to be active in the area.
Tharkokath did manage to find Cult of Zariel activity, but not in the way he had expected. He discovered that the Cult of Zariel and Carl had been working together, and that the sacrificial ritual they performed was done to forge a new celestial orb capable of holding Lord Souls. The ritual was a success and, as a result, Carl is now able to capture Lord Souls himself and potentially unseal Castle Sol.
In an attempt to learn Carl's motives, Tharkokath tried to stay hidden in the shadows but was spotted by Carl. Tharkokath explained that, since he is a lesser power, no mortal should be able to see him unless he wants them to. This led him to suggest that Carl has made a pact with a patron who is providing him with power. Due to the circumstances, Tharkokath speculated that Zariel might be the patron in question and that she could be using Carl to ignite another thousand-year blood war...
