Hello everyone!
Last week we managed to obtain the medallion of desire, this time around we’re going
after the medallion of averice.
Averice apperantly means an excessive or insatiable desire for gain or wealth.
The sin of greediness while this medallion bestows the wielder authority over the Catacombs
ward.
There let those afflicted with this burden be sealed away until long after the time they
believed they would be remembered.
Let them fade away to be forgotten, the memory of their ‘great deeds’ be measured against
the unending weight of eternity.
The tool of the curator, one of the few remaining true venthyr forged during the founding of
revendreth.
Like Prince Renethal and The Stonewright, the Curator was not turned venthyr from a
mortal soul.
Rather she was willed into being by the Sire.
You might recall how we saved her from the tower of torghast as that’s where she was
send after their failed rebellion.
The time in the tower did her no favors as her memory isn’t quite what it used to be.
“This is worse than I assumed, Maw Walker.
The crypt ward has plunged into chaos in my absence.
There is much to do.”
“I hid my medallion through this mirror before Denathrius cast me into the Maw.
To prevent him from reaching it, I cleaved the glass.
I entrusted each of the halves to my subordinates.
It is imperative we reach them before Denathrius’s forces do.
”
Watcher Emil and Sinkeeper Mateo were trusted with safeguarding the mirror shards and it’s
Emil that we track down fist.
The Guard captain lost contact with Emil when the chaos erupted and they’ve sent Guardsman
Dorin ahead to search for him.
He has yet to return and since we’re going deeper into the catacombs, we might as well
give them a hand.
Their reinforcements never came, leaving them unable to tend to the souls here.
They’ve broken out of their cages before they were ready for their next step in the
process.
The chains of regret allow us to chain them up and put them back into their cage.
Then their guards, weakened by the lack of anima, have become overrun as the sinstones
this land is built upon rose up around them.
Not to mention the manifestations of the souls who can no longer be tended to that are running
wild.
We slay them, make the grounds a bit more defendable, but sadly reach Guardsman Dorin
far too late.
Their journal describes the hunt for Emil and when they saw the cloaked scouts from
Archivam, they thought salvation had come.
Instead they drew their blades against them – their own kind.
Not all have remained loyal to the Curator.
Some have decided to side with the Sire as we discover while escorting Emil.
None other then Sinkeeper Mateo wants to acquire the second mirror shard for the sire.
Foolishly he lets his guards do the dirty work.
They stand no chance against Emil and the Maw walker fighting together.
“Emil you are safe.”
“Mateo has betrayed you.
He returned to Archivam.
It seems he will stop at nothing to acquire your medallion for the Sire.”
“Then I fear we do not have much time.
We must put a stop to this now!’
Reaching mateo isn’t going to be easy as he’s hanging out in the curators former
manor.
It’s guarded by Nourman the doorman, an extremely loyal dredger that will only grant
access to those that posses the right fangs.
The fangs of the commanders of this operation, examiner Daciana, Boian and Lonata.
If do manage to restore the mirror then there’s the little problem of it being cursed by design.
We’ll need to locate some death lotus powder, but the Curator can’t remember in which
crypt she’s stored it.
A bit of brute force will fix that problem.
Stonebreaker mallet in hand we start knocking down doors until we find what we’re looking
for.
As we go around breaking stuff, we might as well eliminate Denathrius’ lackeys as they’ve
resorted to tearching archivam down to the core for any evidence of the curators medallion.
“Let me get that door open for ya real quick.”
“Good luck in there.
The new boss is a bit temperamental.”
“The power of the harvesters will be mine!”
“Come sinners!
Serve your master!”
“No!
The Curators power was nearly mine.”
“Now that we have all of our components, we can proceed.
Once the mirror is complete, remember to apply the death lotus powder.
If you do not you...well it’s definitely not good.”
Walk in without lotus powder: “My memory may be going, but yours seems to be going
ever faster.
Use the powder to enter safely.”
The accuser helped the curator with setting up some protections.
A wall of sin stands between us and the medallion.
The power of the venthyr has allowed us to pass walls such as these before..
“Open your eyes and use the power mawwalker.
It is the only way.”
Or bubble does the trick as well, either way the medallion of averice is in our possession
now.
“My...medallion.
Quickly, take it from here before Denathrius discovers what we have done.”
Castle Nathria has been available for a bit now yet the Curator still mentions that Denathrius
will bring destruction if we linger around.
I guess that means lorewise the entire castle hasn’t been conquered quite yet.
Either way, with all the work we’ve done, she’ll be able to resume her duties.
We take the medallion back to Renethal, onwards to the next one but that will be for next
time so for now thank you very much for watching everyone!
