Breith Eaman

"This prison was full once, in the days of the Inquisition. But time weathers all things, even will. I am the only tenant who remains."

- Iovara

Breith Eaman is an ancient Engwithan ruin beneath Burial Isle.

Background
This is Breith Eaman, the Court of the Penitents, and the focal point of Thaos' inquisition two millenia before modern times. The disciples of Iovara - and eventually the Apostate herself - were brought to the above-ground facilities on what's now known as the Burial Isle, where they were subjected to horrifying torture. Those who did not break were cast down beneath the earth, buried far from the surface and locked inside adra cells that rendered them immobile. Souls were then confined there until they repented. To achieve release, they had to beg the forgiveness of a god, pledge their soul to them, and then they would be lifted from this place to the world above. In truth, they received leniency but not true mercy. The spite of Woedica is eternal and so the souls would linger above, at the site of the old Court, not permitted to leave the island, forever severed from the cycle.

Points of interest

 * The area is reached by jumping into the pit at Burial Isle, after securing the support of the gods. Otherwise you splatter all over the place at the bottom. While falling, you will need Resolve 16 or Athletics 7 to avoid injuring yourself against the wall. If you are overleveled, the game will allow for scaling the encounters to match your power.
 * The soul prison is divided into three sections. Your landing point, simply called the Pit, is filled with the shattered remains of "heretics" from millenia ago. The bridge leads to the platforms surrounding soul prisons from adra, flanked by a variety of specters (the exception is on the northwestern platform, filled with animats that attack you as soon as you come into view). Your goal is to reach the northeastern platform and talk to Iovara for a variety of revelations, including one that gods were created by kith.
 * The exit to Sun in Shadow is just past Iovara.

Characters

 * Iovara ix Ensios, the last prisoner and the original Apostate.
