That included the Demon Prince Orcus and his rival in Hell, the Archfiend Mephistophles. Both came to claim what was theirs. Both were very pissed the other had claim on her. They then went to the only source that might fairly and accurately grant them what they believed was rightly theirs, Jergal, the Lord of Endings. (He was just sitting around doing nothing anyway!) Jergal declared he couldn't judge her soul until she had proven beyond a shadow of a doubt her loyalty to one side of evil or another. Orcus, in a fit of rage, cursed the shamaness, splintering her body and soul into two separate halves. This didn't please Mepistopheles, but he took comfort in having something over nothing. So both departs. Unknown to both, the shamaness' new forms both desired to be reunited. So each one left a small lock of hair behind in Faerun. This locket possessed a singular power, to summon the Shamaness home to Faerun. There she hoped whom ever summoned her would be able to reunite herself. However after the third attempt failed (the previous two resulting in some very speculatur blood baths when either Archfiend found their prize missing.), and resulted in the leveling of what is current Comryr, (well before the founding.) the shamaness decided this time she would only come IF the person in question could summon her in a place that was holy and dedicated to something other than evil or neutral terriority. Now by this time, Orcus himself has learned of this plot. In an effort to secure more souls for him (as well as greater power) he had his fiendish minions turn the shamaness half in his demeses into a great heavy mace. This in turn would applify the connection, causing a permanent portal to be make into his realm. Mephistophles learned of this, and now seeks to do the same. How's that for fun?</blockquote>
