They are relics excavated from old, buried ruins. My people believe they are pieces of our deity, the Luxon. Those who go through the rite of consecution are then able, upon death in the radius of a beacon, have their soul put into a newly born child in the area.
They retain the memories of each life until they are a perfect soul, ready to meet the Luxon.
Because I'm a wizard. Because I have spent me entire life studying a form of magic which these beacons also seem to utilize in some way, but not in one taught among the discipline.
Not particularly. I have taken some beacons to... a collective of mages who should be able to assist me in studying them. However... this collective is... aligned with a territory currently at opposition with my own.
I am looking for more reason and less faith. The beacons are powerful, but artifacts obtained from underground ruins.
I want to know more about them outside the scope of what they have done for us. I want to know who made them, what they were used for without explaining it away by a deity's blessing.

Thank you for your rather racist observation of my skin. I can at least count on you to ignore everything else.

You can ignore all of it, however.

So why did you take the beacon?
no subject
I wanted to learn more about them. I refuse to simply accept our faith's explanation for them, and none of my people will research them.
So... I had to take matters into my own hands.

Why? What do they do?

Cool.
And you're trying to figure out why they can affect souls this way?
no subject
I am trying to learn who exactly made them and for what reasons. I am trying to learn what powers they all hold and how many of them may exist.

Have you learned anything yet?

This is the cause for my secrecy.
