描述
The snow-capped Lavendula Mountains on the world of Corycia are home to many strange legends. One tells that deep within them is concealed a cave that glitters with purple gems. In the Amethyst Cavern resides the Blind Seer. Some say he is a soothsayer, a prophet who can see the future though he is blind to the present. But it is only those scholars who have delved deep into the Divine Mysteries, who know that he is one of the great Powers of the Light and his name is Peniel.
Those who would seek the wisdom of Peniel must assay a perilous threefold quest. First, they must navigate the crags of the Lavendulas – the distant beauty of the violet peaks turns treacherous when scaling them, and the way to the Amethyst Cavern is hard to navigate. When the cavemouth is reached, its guardian Artio the Bear must be passed – those who lack the proper offerings and are not painted with the correct markings will be consumed. Finally, Peniel himself must be approached within the cave, lit only by the faint glow of the clustered gems. The seeker must be wholly certain in the rightness of his cause, for Peniel is a fierce angel and offers his knowledge only to the most deserving of seekers with the most pressing of need. His hair is long and white, his skin pale, his wings pied. He wields the firearm Soulfinder, a weapon that can never miss its target, though the one who carries it is unsighted.
Should Peniel find the seeker’s quest virtuous, he will tell of the things that are hidden. The Blind Seer’s eyes see in ways that no others can: through time, across dimension, and deep into the souls of all things.
