(OOC: I have finally given up on trying to change the color!)
(Ic) Selneth shakes his head. "You misunderstand me. I don't think it itself is a deity; merely that some god or goddess is watching over it.
"I was on an assignment, the usual thing, and my group was fighting against a few raiders. Nothing special, except that they were occupying one of those old citadels of power from before the Wars. Well, we started looking around the place, just to see if there were any more bandits, and I got to go through this one room... I found this gem then.
"I won't pretend that I was noble and didn't want it; I did. But I knew better than to take it with me, so I left it there...I found out a couple of days later that another man in the group had taken it himself, when I found it with my packs."
He looks up into Ambermoon's face, as though waiting for a signal to continue, and then goes back to staring at the tabletop.
"After that, well...I began to suffer from headaches, and other things began happening - I started seeing the power lines in the land like iridescent threads, things like that. They eventually feared me so much that I was given an ultimatum: either leave, or be thrown out, with a black mark on my record. I chose to leave, and here you see me." He leans back in his seat, gazing at Ambermoon, waiting for her response.
