COSMOS Missions - Pilgrim
Pilgrim - Festival (1 of 5)Welcome, weary traveller. Are you here to visit the holy spa? Araz holds a special place in the hearts of true believers, for it was here that the great prophet Angitus Omira had his divine visions. Every year thousands of pilgrims make their way here to visit and pray at the spa. Alas, lately is had become very dangerous for pilgrims to enter Araz. Blood Raiders are everywhere and the ongoing feud between the most prominent noble families in the constellation destabilizes things even further. And Kador does nothing but watch, but that is to be expected as he likes his underlings to fight each other. That way, they're too busy trying to choke each other to harbour any thoughts of uniting against their liege lord. What is more, it allows Kador an easy way to determine the strengths and weaknesses of his feudal lords. He's a clever man, but as is so often the case it is us lesser persons that suffer. But enough of that. Let's get back to the business at hand. For many years I have aided pilgrims on their voyage to the Prophet's Spa. With the volatile situation I've had to take extra precautions to make sure nothing untoward happens on their way over here. One such precaution is to have experienced pilots ferry the pilgrims the last stages of their journey. Your presence here tells me you're interested in work, so that is what I'm offering you. It's not much fun, but for the pilgrims it's quite vital. And if you do well I have another job for you that might more to your taste. I take it you have nothing against killing Blood Raiders? Never mind, we worry about that later. For now, I want you to fetch a few pilgrims and bring them to Munory. I will then guide them on the last part of their sacred journey.
Pilgrim - Heretics (2 of 5)I hope you still have the passkey I gave you, because you'll need it for this work I'm offering you. I don't know how much you know about the Blood Raiders and their customs. Unfortunately, it is my job to know these things and let's just say that many of their rituals are quite gruesome in their cruelty and barbarity. It pains me that our glorious Scriptures could be so fanatically misinterpreted. The Blood Raiders base many of their believes on parts of the Scriptures which authority has been put into doubt. These texts are nothing short of heretical in nature and the Emperor has long since decreed that possessing them, let alone preach or practice the vile teachings, leads to immediate excommunication. Now I have reliable sources telling me that the Blood Raiders have carried these despicable texts into the Empire, hiding them away in a fortress they control over in Koona. The fortress is appropriately named Bastion of Blood and in its inner most chamber, called the Treasure Chamber, they have erected an altar where they can practice their inhuman rituals. A copy of these heretical texts, called the Apocryphon, is stored there and I want you to get it for me so I can burn it. Enter the Bastion of Blood in Koona, make your way to the Treasure Chamber using the Bastion Master Key I gave you and destroy the Altar of the Blessed. Come back with the Apocryphon to complete this job. Be careful though, the Blood Raiders are rebuilding the fortress and are out in force there. In particular, they are building a power generator in the Treasure Chamber that is heavily defended, so stay well clear of it.
Pilgrim - Funeral (3 of 5)I'm glad you're here, [CHARACTER]. Something terrible has happened. The pilgrims you brought me were ambushed by Blood Raiders at the Prophet's Spa itself. The Blood Raiders have never before been so bold as to attack us directly there. It only yet another sign that everything is falling apart here in Araz. I feel obligated to the families of the fallen pilgrims to try and get their bodies from the clutches of Blood Raiders. I shudder to think what those barbarians will do to them. I want you to hurry over to the Spa and assault the Blood Raiders there. I fear most of them have left, but some may still be waiting for more pilgrims to appear. Show them no mercy, they don't deserve it. Bring me back the bodies you find. I will make sure they will be treated with dignity and respect.
Pilgrim - Shroud (4 of 5)The Prophet's Spa has been the constellation's main attraction for pilgrims, but the recent unfortunate events at the spa have diminished it's value. I have been looking into ways to revive the pilgrim trade and I think I have found the perfect way. There's a musty old museum over on Koona II that's been in steady decline for decades. The curator there is as anxious as I am to bring back the glory days and I have just the thing for the museum. The death shrouds of holy people are always items of reverence for strong believers and none more so than shrouds of saints. I have acquired several shrouds of St. Ageroth himself, they're lying in my hangar not far from here. I want you to bring them to me, I will get them to the curator. You may be quizzical about why there are so many shrouds, but I assure you that they're all authentic. We Amarrians have been in the holy business for a long, long time and know what needs to be done. Every time a notable holy person dies we make sure to wrap it in as many death shrouds as possible. It makes sense, why use only one that can get damaged? This way, we can even sell a few for a healthy profit. Fetch the shrouds for me and I think Araz will be back on the map as a place to visit for pilgrims.
Pilgrim - Temple (5 of 5)I have one more boon to ask of you before I allow you to go your merry way. You have put a huge effort into fighting the Blood Raiders for me, so why stop now? I think it's time we go on the offensive and try to shake things up a bit for our friends the Blood Raiders. My hope is that it will give me the breathing space to get the pilgrim run back into order. The Blood Raiders are nothing if not devoted to their twisted believes. So it's not surprising that they are putting as much effort into erecting religious sites as into fortifications and military outposts. As we know only too well they're not about to let go of their filthy habits just because the control of this constellation hangs in the balance. I want you to strike at their most sacred site they've built so far. Sacred in their eyes of course, not mine. Not far from here they've built a temple they call the Temple of Revelation and in it they store the Arc of Revelation. It contains many relics of immense spiritual value to the Blood Raiders. If we can steal it from them it would be a huge blow to their morale and esteem here in Araz. Once again I hope it will give them second thoughts about staying here. We'll see how it pans out, just get me that Arc of Revelation. It goes without saying that the temple is no doubt heavily defended so some reinforcements might be in order for you before you head out there. This is an important mission, which will have significant impact on your faction standings.
