The rumor of dark atrocities committed in the Underdark draw your attention.
The corpse of Vankhu, tucked away in a lost tunnel suddenly sits up, animating itself with its own energy.
Casting an odd look at Tavlin, it suddenly shudders and falls into dust.
In the place of the zombie, the displaced figure of a dark-elven man blurs at the edge of your vision.
Reksah says to Tavlin, "For long enough I have watched from the shadows, learning things about your world. It is time to give some substance to the rumors of my existence."
The Eye in the Darkness, Reksah, blinks in and out of existence and graveyards, shrines, and libraries throughout Thera seem just a little less wholesome.
PSA: Reksah now has an open forum on the officials in conjunction with Mergulla and all things Scion.
(Directly from his first post)
You can post on this forum with questions about Reksah and Scion.
A few things about Reksah--I'll add more as I think of them:
The religion is technically open to everyone. That being said, I wouldn't expect a good-aligned follower to be too involved in the religion and remain good for that long. I also don't envision it as much of a fit for priest classes--why don't you just cast spells instead? Still, I'm continually amazed by the creativity of our playerbase, so I look forward to seeing the roles people come up with that I hadn't thought of.
I'm also open to all sorts of people asking for my help when they want to know something. You should probably exercise caution and consider the terms of my offers carefully in these situations.
I'm a Scion god...so I've got that going for me...which is nice.
And the Helpfile!
REKSAH THE SECRET OF THE VOID
Spheres: Revelation/Divination, Necromancy, Knowledge
Does a dead man really tell no tales?
One that seeks to curry the favor of Reksah knows that the dead have many
tales to tell. A collector of secrets and oracle of shadows, Reksah's history
is cloaked in rumor, but many believe that he came into being at the end of
Thera's Fourth Age, as all the planes of existence were wiped away into void.
Knowing his position was weak relative to many of the other gods, he chose
to bide his time in the Void, gathering up secrets and stealing glances of
the other planes as lost souls drifted within his reach.
Consorting with those lost between life and death, Reksah learned countless
things long lost to mortals, but nothing more valuable than learning the
rituals necessary to make sense of the Omens from the energy in the moments
after someone or something has died. Surrounded by his choir of shades,
Reksah eventually was able to grow enough in power to be able to start
keeping some of his many eyes on Thera and even begin haunting certain
individuals with the promise of his lost lore.
Even more than knowing things long-forgotten by the living, the Eye in
the Darkness delights in knowing that others need the knowledge it holds.
Knowledge by itself is of little value if others do not seek it and Reksah
is just as happy spreading misinformation if it is more desired or more
entertaining. Those who would walk the lands as an intermediary of Reksah
know that great mysteries may become unlocked to them, but that they also
continually walk in the uneasy balance of satisfying the blasphemous
curiousity of their infantile demi-god.
The Eye in the Darkness, the Secret of the Void, the Mirage of Enlightenment
these are all some of the many sobriquets of the mysterious deity Reksah.
Many say that only a fool--or someone truly desperate--would seek his aid,
but there are others that think the risk is worth it. Those who wish to
find some answer from Reksah would do well to go beneath the Thera's surface,
where the shifting shadows of the Underdark provide cover for work that is
best kept hidden from prying eyes.
