A revival of the worship of Asrigh has begun among the farmers of 27.18, though they call him Saray. Giaccamo, a disgruntled bishop of Alberon, read a forbidden text of Asrigh while in the Sealed Library (29.14.50). Shortly after, he received a vision in which Asrigh rose from his prison and brought rain back to the Shrouded Lands (29.14.36). He denounced Alberon, faked his death and changed his face. The ex-bishop now calls himself Thoth, and he evangelizes to farmers around the Keening Sea, never staying in one place for more than a night. He works in hope that Asrigh will one day rise and make good on his vision.
Connection
- Wortimer (26.20.01) supports Thoth, hoping he can undermine the Temple Indivisible’s influence in the August City.
Hooks
- What undiscovered texts of the Nine lie buried in the Shrouded Lands? How about in the Sealed Library?
- Can, and more importantly will, Asrigh bring rain back to the Shrouded Lands?
- How did Thoth fake his death and change his face?
- How are followers of the ibis-headed god persecuted?
- What else does Asrigh demand of his followers?
