>>5343438>>5344110>>5345565To the anon who asked about the Candle Maiden from the qtg - I might keep some factions hidden for future games in this setting...
In my older quests and game settings there was an Ancient Rite called Whispering Fire, it let you speak and listen through flames (e.g. eavesdrop or spy on people - interestingly, other spells could also be sung / sent through flames this way)
Yet another spell was called Furnace of Avarice, it unleashed a conflagration that burnt away all wealth and belongings (maybe that is happening to us in the real world today, if you know some economics...) So perhaps the mysterious melting Candle Maiden and Silverless Mercenary is related to those rites of fire in some way?
Really the symbols and meanings are up to you to interpret... But maybe it was just me trying to do a sort of Bloodborne doll / dark souls shrine maiden quest infodump character. It is a bit difficult for me to diegetically give out information sometimes if the anons do not ask questions etc, I try to keep everything in-game for immersion. In a ttrpg campaign it is much easier to roleplay it and just tell you outright game lore.
