The Bloodworms of the Temple

A young lamiran maiden began a journey, an expedition that would alter the future of her home and family. The maiden called Osilpe entered Antioch in search of various plants and knowledge. She came upon Seria Vuhuni, Welam Argarwaen, Avaeo Shinpachi and Blyth Shinpachi who spoke with her at length and provided her with the sought after plants. Curious, the group asked why the maiden was upon her journey and what her intentions were. The response was simple, a search of knowledge and herbs to assist in a cleansing. Osilpe asked about their means of taming creatures, and spoke with Kira Ashtear, who proved invaluable in the illustration of how this was done.

The maiden finally revealed herself to reside within the Temple of Reflections, within the depth of the ocean. She explained that her needs concerned the cleansing of an abomination that was virulent there. She was not more forth-coming, but asked that her actions not be revealed to the Queen.

The group grew concerned and decided to seek out the Temple beneath the waves. They were granted an audience with Queen Aluthiel. Surrounded by her myriad handmaidens, the Queen shared a little of the culture of those within the temple. The group of lamirans are a small sect that are dedicated to the worship of one they consider a Goddess, a water-spirit they refer to as Lady Alurosa. The Queen spoke of their culture, one revealed as corrupt and decadent to those who do not practice it. The maiden Osilpe arrived in the midst of this audience, filled with shame that the visitors would see the abomination that was her people.

After a final confrontation with Queen Aluthiel in front of Welam, Kira and Ozreas the maiden began the process of turning the bloodworms against the Temple residents. With herbs and instructing words, the worms consumed the Queen and her Court and began to destroy the temple. However the worms began to multiply and their reach extended beyond the depths of the waters. While not aggressive towards anyone, when slain they seemed to be multiplying. Was the result worth it for the lamiran maiden?
