Revision 7

Part Two of the Priest's Story continues the priest's journey through the realm of the dead. He finds his daughter, restores her memory, and leads her toward Itzeltek's throne to plead for her release.

In-Game Text

For a long time the priest wandered the roads of the dead, searching for his daughter. At last he saw her beneath the shade of a cotton tree, but she did not recognize her father.

To restore the girl's memory, the priest dove into a deep black pool, seeking the fish that dwelt only in the bogs of Itzeltek.

He roasted the catch over a cold fire and fed his daughter the pale flesh. And at once, her memory returned to her.

Rejoicing, the priest took the girl by the hand and led her toward the throne of Itzeltek, to beg his god for mercy.

Lore Context

The 'fish that dwelt only in the bogs of Itzeltek' is the in-fiction explanation for the bog-tier fish encountered in the Plague swamp regions. The 'cold fire' detail (a flame in the realm of the dead, which gives no heat) is a recurring Senkamati funeral motif tied to the rituals described in the Mural sequence. The full Mural cycle is recorded across the First Mural, Second Mural, and Third Mural.
