For many years, the Oracle of the Eye has dwelt in this temple with her Nyxborn servants, keeping watch over the events on the peninsula and issuing warnings to the nearby cities and towns. But Thassa, god of the sea, has long been jealous of the influence that Klothys exercises over the region and has coveted the temple for herself. Some months ago, she was angered when the Oracle of the Eye issued an admonishment to the ruler of Neolantis, who is a particular favorite of Thassa. In response to this provocation, Thassa caused an earthquake to rock the temple. The floor split open and seawater flooded in, accompanied by the god’s servants. The Oracle fled to a safe place, but many of the Nyxborn were slain. After a few months, the local rulers noticed that the Oracle had fallen silent. Some were frankly grateful for the respite, but the leader of Altrisos is concerned. After a delegation to the temple failed to return, he decided a stronger response is required.
