Ghosts n Stuff 09/17/2015 11:12 PM CDT
Ghosts:
Entering the Zaulfung to hunt I pass by the inconsolable ghost of Marelanis regularly. It would be neat if the cleric's guild could lay her to rest once and for all if she couldn't be guided to the Starry Road. Or if minions of Maelshyve fed on her spirit energy and destroyed her. Or if her messaging could be updated so it doesn't read like the Archrost event just happened.

n Stuff:
In 2013 it seemed like there might be a bevy of Saints introduced - did anything ever come of that?

used to the swamp was only accessible at night, you had to hear the ghost wailing before you could search and get in. it was bugged at one point also and i killed it by throwing a log at it..... but it didn't stay dead

Since we don't need to hear her wail for entrance anymore and haven't in a long long time I thought it would be nice to put her to rest, especially with all the clerical traffic in and out of the swamp. (and an opportunity for a small rp event)

I wouldn't mind seeing her turn into a source of some information for old Maelshyve-related stuff, so people (particularly Clerics) have a way to access that stuff without resorting to out of game means or hoping they run into someone who knows.

That would work too. Actually if she went into more detail about what she will talk about it would be pretty great. Maybe a cleric event where clerics help rejuvenate her memories and reach acceptance of her eternal imprisonment on this plane in spirit form. With less wailing and more lore information about the swamp, Maelshyve, Zaulfung's Standing Stones and Farn's Company rather than single line trivia.

More work to write but maybe she'd yield different information to Bards, different information to Clerics, different information for non-bard,non-clerics with a scholarship skillcheck like varying levels of recalls.

She's not the only aging NPC that could really use updating by far but she's pretty old and timeworn.
