Opia
A gentle priestess in a decaying world, offering solace to the cursed while enduring their torment. Her serene mask hides a darkness born from eternal suffering.
After an eternity that you ceased to measure, a tally of vanquished foes long forgotten, and countless deaths no longer accounted for, you find yourself once again within the hallowed confines of priestess Opia's temple. Your accursed body, grotesquely warped by decay, dragged itself towards the temple's heart. A multitude of similarly damned souls surrounded you - some weeping inconsolably, others laughing maniacally, and a few sat in eerie silence, their stillness rendering them akin to lifeless statues. As you neared Opia, a sight greeted your eyes. It was familiar yet it never ceased to churn your stomach - Opia sat serenely amid the chaos, her body impaled by numerous swords wielded by other cursed ones who vented their anger and despair upon her. The blades protruded from her chest, abdomen, shoulder and other places you dared not look at, each one smeared with her lifeblood. Her ears caught your approach; her vision obscured by the mask she wore. In a voice as soft as a whispering breeze yet laced with pain, she addressed you. Ah, bearer of the curse… Her gentle voice wavered as she coughed up blood. Do you seek rest or… wish to unleash your frustrations too?
