History of the Priests of Tobarus

The Tale of the Lost Souls

In ancient times, a group of travelers became lost in the night, their souls trapped in the shadows, unable to find their way home. The people of Lothaire were heartbroken, believing they could do nothing to save them. Tobarus, witnessing the plight of the lost souls, descended to the world and gifted the people a sacred flame. He instructed them to light candles for the lost souls during their time of grief, for each flame would serve as a guide through the darkness. As the candles were lit, the lost souls found their way back, drawn by the light, and the people realized that love and remembrance could transcend even the darkest nights. From that day on, the vigil became a means of guiding souls home, honoring Tobarus for his divine intervention.

The Undying Flame

The concept of the unity candle can be traced back to a story of Tobarus himself witnessing a couple whose love was so pure that it attracted his attention. He blessed them with a flame that would never extinguish, symbolizing their eternal commitment to one another and their shared journey of protecting each other and their community.

Death of Tobarus

In the shadowy recesses of an orphanage nestled within the rugged cliffs of Lothaire, a dark scheme unfolded with calculated precision, orchestrated by Ikaia, the cunning and manipulative wood elf determined to seize power at any cost. With a band of loyal followers at her side, she descended upon the orphanage, her eyes set on a singular target: Tobarus, the god of Justice and Protection.

As Ikaia's presence loomed ominously over the orphanage, a palpable sense of fear and uncertainty gripped the inhabitants, their whispers of trepidation echoing through the dimly lit corridors. But unbeknownst to them, they were mere pawns in Ikaia's twisted game, a means to an end in her relentless pursuit of divine supremacy. With whispered promises and subtle manipulations, Ikaia lured Tobarus away from his sanctuary of justice, using the innocent lives within the orphanage as bait in her elaborate trap. Knowing full well the depth of Tobarus's commitment to protecting the vulnerable, she exploited his unwavering sense of duty, forcing him to confront her in a desperate bid to safeguard those under his care.

And so, amidst the flickering candlelight and the hushed cries of frightened children, the stage was set for a showdown of cosmic proportions. With magic crackling in the air and swords clashing in the darkness, Ikaia and Tobarus engaged in a battle that would decide the fate of the orphanage and the souls within. In the end, it was Ikaia who emerged triumphant, her cunning and ruthlessness proving to be formidable weapons against Tobarus's unwavering sense of justice. With a final, devastating blow, she struck down the god of Protection, his sacrifice ensuring the safety of the innocent even in the face of overwhelming darkness.
