Achlys lore dump
I was tagged by the lovely @bladesingerlily in the OC lore dump tag. So here's the final part, my Dark Urge Achlys.
Name
Achlys, daughter of Bhaal Achlys: a greek mythological figure representing the "death-mist" —the fogging of eyes before death, misery, and sadness, possibly also a goddess of deadly poisons.
Also known as:
Lys by Karlach and Gortash
My love by Gale
My dearest by Gortash
High Primistress by the cult of Bhaal
Sister by Orin the Red
~ BASICS
Born: Left at the Selunite altar in the Stormshore Tabernacle
Background:
• The Haunted One
Occupation: Pre-lobotomy: Assasin and High Primistress of Bhaal Post-lobotomy: Light cleric of Lathander
Her primary occupation is High Primistress of Bhaal, leading sermons and making sure that every member of the clergy does their duties. She does her own murders for Bhaal, making sure that she sheds enough blood and death for her Father. This does earn her a reputation since her murders are always precise and clean. She prefers to use her divine powers and magic to kill people now.
So when she's introduced to Enver Gortash, she does his assassinations for him. Always without trace and with her signature precision.
After the lobotomy, she realizes that she has divine powers. Since she was rescued by dragons, she thinks that she's a cleric of the Goddess Tiamat. But when she prays, nobody answers her. She still has her divine powers but it's like she's been cut off from communication. When they go to the Rosymorn Monestary and find the Blood of Lathander, she feels Him when she picks up the weapon. He whispers to her that he's going to help her and reply to her. From that moment on she devotes her life to Him.
