Episode notes
Vision Points To Tanisar And Celestial Crafting
- Taisha's first vision pointed the group toward Tanisar and an orcish Barrowguard with javelins.
- The vision connects to Tanisar's reputation as the Place of Wings where followers once summoned or 'crafted' celestial aid in crisis.
Tanisar Was The Place To Craft Celestial Aid
- Tanisar was an oracular site tied to the Halovar and Taconis houses and called the Place of Wings for summoning celestial aid.
- Texts frame the site's gift as 'crafting aid' that could let followers fashion their own celestials in extreme circumstances.
NPCs Suspect Soldiers Went To Summon A Celestial
- The party suspects the Pentaforol and House actions are tied to the 180 soldiers sent to Tanisar.
- Doctor Talter and companions speculate soldiers were clearing undead to summon a house-made celestial.
