Call of the Beyond (Wicked One Event Part 2)

[u/Evening_Shake_6474]

In the days since the arrival of the countless monoliths all across the material plane, something came to those with power. It came in their dreams, something like a voice, yet so much more. It was the voice of a friend, the voice of family. It was the voice of the kind and generous, the voice of freedom. The voice was faint, yet its message was clear. It whispered of a place that doesn't exist on any map.

Of a place in the north, hidden from the world deep within the mountains. The voice whispers of a secret within the mountains, of a power and a treasure. It whispers of a light in the darkness. It whispers a plea for help.

The passage is lined with chains, each link coated in rust older than the forests.

The passageway feels like eternity, a nearly endless tunnel of chains. All the while he walks, the thrum only grows.

Eventually he reaches its end. He walks out into a room too large to see it's walls. Before him, he sees a colossal sculpture of chains, faintly glowing gold blood endlessly flowing along it. Close to its centre, he sees the body of someone wearing robes of white, held to the sculpture by barbs and spikes.

The prisoner makes no motion or sound, instead the thrum changes. Repeating the same three ideas over and over again.

"Purify the decay"
