Merfolk's Lullaby

During the Festival of Giving, Tasha had put the famous Orb — the Snowbound Ship Lantern — on display in The Unicorn Tavern. However, The Servant of the Flame, who was leading a group of members from The Reaper's Bones, invaded the tavern and successfully stole the Orb. Upon touching the lantern, The Servant imbued it with some kind of power, causing a crack to appear on the surface of the glass. While en route back to The Reaper's Hideout, the ship carrying the Orb was attacked by a kraken and sank, resulting in the loss of the lantern amongst the wreckage. The washed-up Orb eventually took on its red hue, becoming the Snowburned Lantern, and was retrieved by a skeleton who took it to the Reaper's Hideout via rowboat. There, the lantern was taken to the lowest depths of the island, known as the Reaper's Lair.

"Now reveal to me what you can see Beyond the Veil. Show me who holds the key to the secrets of the Ancients. As ever be my eyes and fly Swift upon the winds.

That mask... So that silly fool still piles for his old captain. So the jewel within her mask reveals a map but where does it lead?

It's a hidden star chart the stories of the Ancients wrought bright across the night sky it tells of their Secrets and Legends. Ah yes the great Adventurer never did find her cure. You must tell me now where does it lie" — The Servant of the Flame.

"Now, what do the Guardians know of these dark constellations? Does she know of the curse? Show me what Belle knows.

So she knows. The Temple's location has been found. But why a Temple with both a curse and a cure?

So the trials of the Ancients to prove yourself worthy of living on and protecting what you hold dear. You see we have so much more in common than Ramsay realises. The curse is a gift. Why did you leave into the sea of tribute? Now tell me of your Golden City." — The Servant of the Flame.

"So. Ramsey’s next move. What does the so-called Pirate Lord plot to do next? He can never let go of the past, show me Old Sailor’s Isle. The Trading Companies. Ramsey has always been uneasy with their place in this world.

Guilds? The formation of petty pirate guilds!? Does he really think this is enough? They shall sail together, yes, but in time they will learn, that they shall fail together.

A pirate's life for us!" – The Servant of the Flame

"What of New Golden Sands? What else are they trying to accomplish? So, Ramsey is becoming what he sought to escape. Port Merrick? Show me.

So, an imposter watches their every move. It sees a vault. You must reveal it now, who is this imposter who watches from the shadows?

Of course. Now we watch and wait. We wait until the tides turn. The Guardians of Fortune will be destroyed from the inside.

The Legend you speak of, can rot within his prison!" – The Servant of the Flame

"So, an imposter waits until the time is right. Show me what it seeks. Show me it now!

What a revelation! The blade is tainted. Once bathed in fire it will never be the same. Of course, the prophecy of the ages always spoke truth. The Burning Blade, now made of steel and fire. The King’s rightful heirloom, the only thing that will bring Ramsey to his knees.

Of course, the imposter seeks it. My father has dealt with scurrying rats before. Let’s see if we have another Duke in the making!" – The Servant of the Flame

"Thank you, relic! What a devious and insidious object you are! Tell us, what is your name ‘Orb’?

Yes. You are many. A prison of the Ancients. Restless voices of the banished. Bound in glitter and jewel. Now you have the greatest honour. Every King needs his oracle." – The Servant of the Flame
