Xesht, We That Are One

Congratulations on your success. This new Breach Lord, Xesht… you’ve shown it that Wraeclast will not be so easily trifled with. Perhaps we will have enough time now… time to research the problem, and seal the weak points in the walls of our reality. Until I can manage that, keep fighting back the Breach Lord’s drones.

Pushing Back

You’ve dealt Xesht a serious defeat. I can see why Doryani has grown to respect you, even if he still doesn’t quite like you. You’ve given me the time I need to research the breaches, and I believe our devices can begin pushing back. The Breach Lord’s drones may still enter our world temporarily, but the risk of a permanent invasion is minimal.

Cult of the Purple Flame

The breach you encountered was a weakness in the walls of reality. I’ve read about the Cult of the Purple flame in our archives… They worship beings from beyond this world. These creatures may seek to use our vulnerability to enter Wraeclast. If you find and collect residual splinters of breach energy, I will study them, and learn what I can about this threat.

Twisted Domain

The completed breachstone is a gathering of their energies large enough to take to the Realmgate. There, you can turn their own intrusion against them, and enter the realm those creatures call home. Remember everything you see, so that we may learn about our enemy.

Your excursion through the Realmgate gave us valuable information about the creatures beyond, but we need to know which Breach Lord we’re dealing with. Try again, until you encounter the being in charge.

Such a violent defence of their home! Xesht… this is a new Breach Lord. I am not certain what has happened… If the Cult of Purple Flame here, they might be able to tell us more. Without that, we must remain wary, and again attempt to defeat this ‘Xesht.’

Cult of the Purple Flame_2

It was my understanding that there were five Breach Lords. Xesht was not one of the names I learned. I do know that the Cult of Purple Flame believed… strangely enough… … that the Breach Lords would one day unite into a single being named Xesht-Ula… … but that is not what you faced. Not exactly. I wonder if they attempted to merge as prophesied, but something went wrong? The missing factor seems to be Chayula…

Chayula

Among the mysterious Breach Lords, Chayula alone had followers here on Wraeclast… … and historically, was successfully communicated with by the Maraketh on at least one occasion. That means, fundamentally, Chayula shares some aspects of thought with us. He is not a mindless ravager. We have no idea what his agenda truly is, of course, but if he is not part of Xesht… It may be in our interest to find him…

I don’t think I like your tattoos. Oddly familiar. I’ll keep my thoughts on the Cult private.

KetzuliOnCultGossip

Their beliefs were born out of otherworldly remnants and strange dreams. The Cult itself was a fringe element of Vaal society for centuries… … with its members often getting themselves banished to far-off lands like Trarthus or Phaaryl. They never quite died out, though, and pushed for legitimacy. By the… end… they were influential enough to vie for their own chamber in the Temple of Atzoatl. If their Lord, Chayula, truly has some measure of attachment to Wraeclast… … then where is he now, in our time of greatest need?

Shadows plague me in my dreams… I spend each night running in my nightmares, and I wake exhausted. This {must} end.

You choose to maintain your faith even after realising the truth. That is a powerful choice… We face countless dangers from beyond this world, so any alliance, no matter how strange, might make the difference between survival and annihilation. I can only hope your faith is justified.
