there is a little hesitation at first on essek's end. he draws in a quiet breath and then sighs, resigned. ]
First, a explanation. For context. My people are drow, but we and the goblins and the duergar don't live in the Underdark. We live in a city above ground, Rosohna, where we have crafted an eternal night, or throughout the rest of the territory, Xhorhas. Ironically, my people worship a deity of light called the Luxon, and we have uncovered several magical artifacts which my people have... attributed to being pieces of this deity. Those are the Luxon beacons.
They are quite powerful relics. Those who go through the ritual of "consecution" with them are then able to, upon death within the radius of a beacon, have their soul reincarnated into a child recently born in the vicinity. This, they believe, is the gift of their Luxon.
