"The trauma of death is not erased by returning people to life. I've spoken to another newcomer, and several of the locals, who experienced it. They remember. I think after five years of this, the locals are running low on hope. I believe Mortanne is hoping that an... 'infusion of fresh blood', as it were, may help."
Chris hums thoughtfully, before taking a drink and continuing to speak.
"We're here to figure out how to break the curse. Several factions exist on the island and don't want to share their knowledge with each other due to personal disagreements. In my mind, we're meant to spread out among these factions -- I know of the Ocularum, the Historical Society, and the Temple of Hidden Roots -- gain their knowledge, and then share it amongst us newcomers since the locals won't do so."
Chris smiles wryly. "I won't be able to help with the Ocularum. I burned that bridge early on, and the leader doesn't like me. My mentor, the Shade, is associated with the Temple and Preacher Degas. I think they get along. I may still have a chance with Ms. Dahlia Leeds and the Historical Society, though I haven't reached out in a material way just yet."
