Artifacts & the Appotheon
Started as Della having dreams after she opened her very first portal (accidently) - in which Alyxian seemed to be communicating.
Then as a group, when we found the Jewel of Three Prayers amulet in a temple of Sehenine, we received a vision or shared dream of Alyxian begging for help, wanting to be released from wherever he is being held.
After taking the Jewel of Three Prayers we all received various visions or dreams, showing us artifacts and weapons.
We learned that there were three gods that Alyxian pledged himself too during the Clamity who all bestowed him with powers (slivers of divinity): Corellan, Avandra, and Sehinine.
We learned little from the Cobalt Soul library in Rexentrum about Alyxian, but saw a statue of him when we visited the Kryn Dynasty, where we learned more about his history and mythology.
We journeyed to a temple of Avandra in the hopes of gaining more information on the Appotheon. After many efforts, Avandra finally believed Della that the group was there to find information, they were not working for the Appotheon and they just wanted to know why the were involved in this in the first place. Avandra asked Della if she was willing to die for this knowledge. Della said yes and Avandra killed her, then appeared to the group where she told them…..
While dead/unconscious, Avandra told Della that the Appotheon likely has many people under his influence who are likely looking for a way to release/free him. They are probably searching for the articfacts he showed us, so we need to get to them first. She also told Della that Della needed to understand and gain mastery over the portals and her power - that the portals are in fact connected to Alyxian and if Della doesn’t have control over the portals and the space between, the Alyxian will. Della has to stop being afraid of the powers shes connected to.
