Lore

At about 21:03 of the video, this briefly flashes on the screen (warning: spoilers):

Quellious has heard of a new goddess, one suddenly allied to her friend Rodcet Nife

- The presence of this new goddess and her relationship to Rodcet harms Quellious' calm

Characters will learn that Anashti Sul's realm has two faces, the Demiplane of Life and the Demiplane of Decay

- It is attached to anchors in both the Plane of Disease and the Plane of Health

- Anashti Sul has Alled herself with both Bertoxxulous and Rodcet Nife

Her worshipers in Sul Vius: Demiplane of Life believe that their unwavering faith in Anasthi Sul earns them a second venerated and immortal life

Her worshipers in Sul Vius: Demiplane of Decay believe that it is only after death that one can properly serve Anasthi Sul. All the dead serve her, and faith has nothing to do with it

Players will meet the mayors of Sul Vius and learn about their philosophies and concerns

- And of course they will learn that there is more to this new goddess than is apparent

Things they learn

Anasthi Sul was torn apart when Lendiniara broke the fabric between universes

- A version of the goddess found herself in our realm, changed

- She now has two aspects, Life and Decay

Her arrival caused an unusual demiplane to be formed called Sul Vius

- It exists in two forms, representing the dual nature of their goddess

Lore

“	A goddess wakes and gazes into a looking glass. The reflection of her true nature fractures and breaks. Even as the looking glass shatters and the world around her dissolves, Anashti Sul only looks deeper still into the fragments as they drift away. When her fractured mind glimpses her surroundings, she discovers that she is adrift in an unknown time and place where gods and goddesses maintain direct influence over Norrath. A hunger for power wells within her, having passed many an age with no power at all and an upstart sitting in her place. With a whole new realm before her, she resolves to rule again! Anashti Sul's passage through a rift into this reality caused her to split into the two most dominant aspects of herself - life and decay. Fully aware of each aspect, she knows that both must command a plane of power lest she weaken entirely and crumble into the nothingness of The Void. And so she crafts a plot to infect the planes of Norrath with a war that threatens to collapse the balance of all life! Are you brave enough to face the might of a goddess who is ravenous to rule? Will you prevent the chaos she would unleash in all of Norrath?	”
