[QUOTE="ElectricDragon, post: 7887352, member: 10778"] [B][SIZE=7]Divine Interference[/SIZE][/B] Desinora has often had scrapes with Nethrancor in the past. Over a millennia ago, she caused one of his artifacts to be lost in the realm of Arkonseptsis. This was in part, retaliation for Nethrancor’s obstruction in her personal war with Farrag; and mainly because she felt that Nethrancor was treading on her portfolio of revenge, retribution, and vengeance through his soulless knights. Desinora thought she could bully Farrag into becoming her vassal; something easy for her. She flooded his body with madmen and lunatics gathered into several cults set to wipe out Farrag’s small priesthoods. It was working too, until Farrag appealed to Nethrancor for succor. Nethrancor, seeing a chance to gain Farrag as his own vassal, agreed and brought his own cults to the battle along with [I]Hollow Night [/I]rituals that eventually created five different Infernal Cesspools on Farrag’s body. His cults had orders to only use Desinora’s madmen as sacrifices to keep the ritual going. Today, only three Infernal Cesspools remain with constant holidays; each tended by a powerful undead that owes Nethrancor a service. The other two Infernal Cesspools are abandoned and have no one tending ritual. The [I]Hollow Night [/I]holiday in these areas no longer happens there. The proscription against using creatures that do not follow Desinora's teachings has been rescinded and now any creature can be used for sacrifice. One Infernal Cesspool needs only ten years in order to develop a permanent gate, which will give Nethrancor more influence over Farrag’s body. Once all three Infernal Cesspools have developed a permanent gate, Farrag will become Nethrancor’s vassal. Desinora’s lunatics are now mostly gone, except for the occasional mad hermit living in exile far from civilization. These hermits are unpredictable and very dangerous. Nethrancor has also sent representatives to The Eye to start a [I]Hollow Night[/I] ritual there. It is located deep in the Swartzen Fen and its ritual masters have to import sacrifices (except for animals) from the mainland using various flying magics, because teleportation magic does not work anywhere close to the cloud island. The holiday is still relatively new and the ongoing ritual has not formed an Infernal Cesspool yet. Nethrancor assigns undead that owe him a service to tend the area, protect it from Moretta’s and Blitzhavoc’s servants, and conduct the monthly rituals. Around six hundred years of rituals remain before an Infernal Cesspool forms which will increase Nethrancor’s influence over The Eye and its two masters. Nethrancor has also infiltrated several of Zephillious’ goblin strongholds, corrupting the shaman leaders with a free copy of the [I]Hollow Night [/I]ritual, “accidently” found. The resulting rituals have only been going on for seven to thirteen years, ingrained into the tribes now, but far from becoming Infernal Cesspools. Such goblin tribes are more likely to save captured creatures to sacrifice for this monthly festival. Nethrancor continued his infiltration by making available the mummy ritual, also “accidently” found. One shaman has begun making mummies from captured creatures as tribal guardians. [/QUOTE]
