A Seedling of Doubt

What began as a peaceful exchange has taken on a subtler, more troubling dimensions. Participation in Anathari rites has resulted in delayed reports, fragmented memories, and altered sleep. King Tamperion remains courteous, but increasingly evasive when asked about the deeper purpose of these rites. His explanations, though poetic, often deflect direct inquiry. Even his title, 'Goldenhearted', appears in no recorded Anathari doctrine. Some now suggest the rituals serve not just as cultural bonding, but as tools of psychological calibration. Whatever the method, the result is unmistakable: we are becoming aligned with Tamperion and his kin. When he speaks of the Dark Immortal, it feels less like foreign entreaty and more like a sacred duty to help our dearest allies, the Anathari.
