Caretaker Pancha

Caretaker Pancha is a venthyr located in the Halls of Atonement in Revendreth. She is holding Werimu the Traitor-King chained.

Every soul's path to atonement is different, but there is commonality between them all.

• Gossip

Sacrifice and suffering are necessary means to a worthy end.

When the alternative is eternity in the Maw, could there even be a price that was not worth paying?

• Werimu still does not grasp the precariousness of his situation!

• He has atoned for much, but the burdens on his soul when he first arrived were monstrous. I had seen nothing like it before.

• He will not be safe from the clawing tendrils of the Maw until his last sin is atoned for.

• I am currently trying to keep him focused by directing him to a familiar task: dismantling a rival organization.

...

• With no souls primed for a ritual, we have no need for a ritual bell at the present.

• Fane and the Avowed's other archivists keep the bells hidden away whenever they are not required, to keep them safe from tampering by the depraved ritualists infesting these halls.

• When a soul is ready, I will have the dredgers bring out the bell we require. I doubt it will be too long.

• To ring a ritual bell is to sacrifice.

• Each bell demands something from the soul who rings it. Used incorrectly, as the depraved of these halls do, these sacrifices are futile torment.

• The wisdom of the Avowed is in identifying what each soul must sacrifice to proceed on its long journey toward atonement, and then convince that soul to make the necessary sacrifice--for their own good.

• It is not always easy, and some souls are too stubborn or short-sighted to ever ring a ritual bell.

• But you, you can see the truth in this: sacrificing to progress is not really sacrificing at all.

With the bell restored, we may continue to guide this soul along the path to its atonement.

• Gossip when a bell is rang

Will you ring the bell and help me show this soul that sacrifice is the truest path to atonement?

If we are unwilling to humble ourselves and confront our mistakes, how can we expect to overcome them?
