Máni
More actions
Máni was the Prayer of the Moon, one of the three High Priests of Brandrgarde in Mistfall Hunter. Her fate is the heart of Season 1, Soul Hunt.
Who she was
Máni oversaw the Seers, the care of the wounded and the preparation of medicine, and she helped the villagers of Hallowgrove. She wore a jewelled sachet at her waist and blessed the soldiers with it. Her manuscripts and casualty log show the mission of her life: healing and mending the world.
She met Stinger in Norgard. They spoke at length about the future after the Mistfall and argued bitterly over whether to rely on a greater power to bring a new dawn.
The path of no return
- Before the Gyldenfall she travelled widely and came back praising the Velgr Isles, where she had made a friend atop the mountains: Sáldr.
- She came to believe that, after the Twilight War, people had to seize a greater power. Velgr Sorcerers were brought into the tower for secret experiments, and the other priests said the Prayer of the Moon had forsaken Argus.
- The Seers were expelled from Brandrgarde. Attendants whispered that a strange soul seemed to lurk behind her mask: Sáldr had taken on the identity of the Prayer of the Moon.
- The records prove that Máni later demanded the experiments be stopped, and that she never gave up praying to the gods.
Purification
She wished to exile her soul for eternity. Most of her fate had already dissolved, but her goodwill toward the world and her attachment to her homeland remained. Dew reconnected her fractured fate, and her keepsake, a Mistchaser patch, was handed to Stinger.
