Beholder Cult Leader

I Awaken to Find Myself Walking in the Woods Smoking a Pipe. As I See Myself Approaching, I Hand My Pipe Away, Aghast at the Realization of What I'm About to Do.

A Dark Figure Pulls Me into His Arcane Shop. He Tells Me There Is a Way to Summon the Beholder Cult

My Name Is Alfur Blackthorne. I Was a Simple Farmer Before the Kobolds Came.

I Scour the City in Vain for the Beholder Cult Leader. There Is No Trace.

The Trial Leaves Me Weak and Motionless as I'm Transported to a Dark Room. Through My Bloody Face I Can Make out an Ancient Orb Before Me as He Blesses My Wounds and Restores Me.

The Sacred Trial of the Orb

I Take the Trail Towards the City of Brunhart to Build a New Life. The Kobolds Attack My Camp During the Night.

Upon Inhaling the Leaf, I Am Transported to a Dark Room Where I Stand Before a Silhouette of a Large Beholder. He Says He Wants to Protect the Light Elves and Warns of the Beholder Cult Leader.

Befuddled and Weak, My Ebbing Body Is Carried into the Woods to the Village of the Light Elves.

That Night, I Am Drawn North of the Village Where I Am Approached by a Man with a Disfigured Face Wearing a Beholder Carcass. The Beholder Cult Leader Hands Me His Pipe.
