They guard the pockets of the lowest layer of Pandemonium, and it's generally impossible to magically transport yourself reliably to the Agathion pockets since they are all so similar, and you are on a planar boundary. So there are the Ingress, a disgusting psychich flesh mound "mother" who excretes her children from the folds of her flesh to hunt for food for her. When someone who needs to find a pocket arrives, the children swarm forth, non-violently and wait for food. Once fed the wait expectantly for the traveler to think of the thing or place they want to find...at which point the mother roars, the children pig pile the traveler, who is dissolved into squamous liquid that flow through the cracks of the planes to the place he seeks. Now, alter that, and change the ingress to the original soul of Spira, corrupted by aeons of abuse and neglect by villains and high mages, forced to contain the eternal souls of wicked being sent to the deeps by talismans of pure good, ready for death, and spawning abberations to try and prevent tampering by so called nature gods so that she/it can finally die. The worms came, found her, and offered her the oblivion she seeks. And they were granted to the core, laying their eggs inside the very soul of the original world...The DoD figure out there is a living soul to the world, and that it isn't any mere goddess of nature. They delve deeply, and finally find the outthrust which is the "face" of spira. She wants to end her miserable existence, and thus rebuffs their request for access to stop the worms. The PCs have to convince her that there is something better than oblivion, and that if she allows them to stop Elder and the brood, they can give her a new chance, along with everyone that dwells upon her. If not, they dare to attack the face of Spira, and in so doing open the heart of the world, releasing anything previously trapped there, as well as giving the worms free rain to exit without Elder or the other great worms having to sacrifice themselves to let the brood breach the final barriers...PS: I love Kodali's Retreat,...so much I have stolen it for my run, though renamed...things which help prophecy of doom and apocalypse so make my day. So, thank you PC for putting that little Gem in the Universe you have shared with us</blockquote>
