[Temple of Light, Grand Hall]
An alabaster dome, inset with crystal prisms and held aloft by vaulted arches, soars above the polished tile floor. Dim light from the stars and city is diffused through the prisms to wash the dome in pale hues. Centered beneath the dome is a fountain bubbling with clear water. A series of detailed mosaic animal images symbolizing the deities paves the path between the fountain and surrounding arches.

[Shard, Sunstone Street]
This section of town seems completely unlike the rest, enfolded in a pocket of peace and tranquility that radiates from the sedate structure of the Temple of Light.

And even in darkness, the doors to the temple remain open, the gentle sound of rhythmic chanting floating out over the air. You also see a blue Moongate, an oak viper bead, a yew viper bead, some shattered glass, some dirt and some dirt.

Visions Received
Note: These visions were received by the respective five individuals and are shared with their permission for documentation purposes. They were not visible to everyone.
Briaen: Berengaria
The light around you flares with blinding authority.
Time slows and the air takes on a golden light. Everything goes silent.
A radiant figure emerges, bathed in the golden hues of wheat. Her face is serene and filled with an endless well of compassion. Her long robes shimmer like the first rays of morning, casting warmth and comfort. By her side, a majestic cow with soft eyes steps forward, its coat glowing with auroral hues. There s a message in its gaze, a command yet unspoken, a truth it carries from the break of dawn.
As you reach out to touch the cow, a flurry of disparate images fight in the back of your mind for expression. Through the quick succession of flashes, you see Dirge.
Dried vines and brecciated rock incorporated into one side of the encasement make for a weakness.
The woman says, "Dawnsworn of my name, too many are lost. The time has come to light the way. Tell them. And hurry."
The woman smiles and a warm glow intensifies for a moment, then dims, leaving behind a sense of peace and hope, as though the dawn itself has touched your soul. She and the cow vanish.
Nawain: Enelne
The sound of fluttering wings cascades around you, growing louder with each passing moment.
Before you, the air stirs as a delicate butterfly appears, its iridescent wings shimmering with every hue of cerulean and lilac. It flutters slowly, gracefully, its silent flight speaking of profound wisdom and the endless cycle of life. As it dances upon the breeze, you feel a sense of growth unfurling in your heart, a quiet nudge toward reflection and understanding.
The butterfly serenely floats across the area, landing on your arm. Suddenly, a flurry of disparate images fight in the back of your mind for expression. Through the quick succession of flashes, you see Dirge.
Dried vines and brecciated rock incorporated into one side of the encasement make for a weakness.
A lilting feminine voice echoes all around you, firmly stating, Keep true to the path you have chosen and to your new pack. You will keep them, and they will keep you. The time has come for a new chapter in this story, my Repentant. Tell them. And hurry.
Several butterflies flutter and float along the breeze You lose sight of Enelne in the rabble. The swarm's wings leave dusky trails of sparkling golden light, and you are filled with a renewed sense of purpose and peace.
Kethrai: Hodierna
The air around you hums with a silent authority.
Time slows and the air takes on a golden light. Everything goes silent.
A matronly figure emerges, draped in the verdant hues of spring, her face tranquil and filled with a wealth of benevolence. Her flowing gowns shimmer like the first rays of morning, casting both warmth and comfort. By her side, a magnificent unicorn with soft eyes steps forward, its coat luminous with porcelain iridescence. There s a message in its gaze, a command yet unspoken, a truth it carries from the tenderness of motherhood.
As you reach out to touch the unicorn, a flurry of disparate images fight in the back of your mind for expression. Through the quick succession of flashes, you see Dirge.
Dried vines and brecciated rock incorporated into one side of the encasement make for a weakness.
The woman gazes at you softly and says, "The encasement will subside. You must tell them. Hurry, now Heart Tender. Embrace your path."
A soft luminescence intensifies for a moment, then gently fades, leaving behind a promise of healing and grace. She and the unicorn vanish, leaving behind a sense of profound peace and divine protection, as though the very essence of purity has embraced your soul.
Karthor: Kertigen
The air around you hums with a silent authority.
Time slows and the air takes on a golden light. Everything goes silent.
A figure emerges; His presence is marked by the scent of earth and metal, a testament to his dominion over craftsmanship and the treasures of the deep. Upon his forearm, a sleek raven perches with watchful eyes, its dark feathers gleaming like polished gemstones.
The raven cocks its head, one way and then another, as though conveying balance and fairness. There s a message in its gaze, a command yet unspoken, a truth it carries from the coffers of long-lost kingdoms.
As you reach out to touch the raven, a flurry of disparate images fight in the back of your mind for expression. Through the quick succession of flashes, you see Dirge.
Dried vines and brecciated rock incorporated into one side of the encasement make for a weakness.
The man says, "The time has come to forge a new path. Tell them. And hurry."
The figure s stern countenance softens, revealing a flicker of paternal concern. The sound of jingling coins echoes briefly, leaving behind a sense of trust and hope. He and the raven vanish.
Avrenka: Rutilor
The light around you flares with blinding authority.
Time slows and the air takes on a golden light. Everything goes silent.
Before you stands a figure of unwavering resolve, cloaked in the enduring spirit of justice and a stance brimming with the determination of one who never falters. He is accompanied by a fierce mongoose that sniffs about as if seeking the unseen. There s a message in its gaze, a command yet unspoken, a truth it carries from a nameless sword.
As you reach out to touch the mongoose, a flurry of disparate images fight in the back of your mind for expression. Through the quick succession of flashes, you see Dirge.
Dried vines and brecciated rock incorporated into one side of the encasement make for a weakness.
The man says, "The time for skepticism has ended. This wrong shall not go unanswered. Tell them. And hurry."
A warm aura intensifies for a moment, then recedes, leaving behind a steadfast resolve and an indomitable sense of security, as though the very essence of righteous judgment has fortified your spirit. He and the mongoose vanish.
