Ooru’s Search for the Ka
Hook
Ooru serves Ankhtepot of Har’Akir and believes the pharaoh’s missing ka—a portion of his soul—may be hidden somewhere in Darkon.
Evidence
- Ooru traveled from Har’Akir in search of artifacts connected to Ankhtepot.
- He identified the ka as lost and suggested Darkon as a possible location.
- His lapis-lazuli scarab is a Mist talisman leading to Har’Akir.
- Ooru joined the party and invited them to visit his home domain.
- A hidden Castle Avernus library described Har’Akir’s geography accurately and claimed Ankhtepot was once a mortal priest who worshipped seven gods.
- Ooru recognized the seven gods but knew them under different names and could not explain why the record differed.
- Ooru returned to Har’Akir after the River Dancer briefly passed through his home domain, leaving his scarab talisman with the party and inviting them to find him in Muhar.
Open questions
- Why does Ooru believe the ka is in Darkon?
- What form does it take, and what would its return mean for Ankhtepot?
- Are Ooru’s search and the upheaval in Darkon connected?
- Why does Castle Avernus know Har’Akir so precisely?
- Why did its record use unfamiliar names for Ooru’s gods?
Next steps
- Find Ooru in Muhar if the party travels to Har’Akir.
- Search the hidden library if the party returns to Castle Avernus.
