Information
Wandering Master
Ephram Sha is a martial artist and spiritual guru of great fame. After mastering the ancient art of Kalaripayattu, he chose to wander the earth in search of inner harmony, rather than join the ranks of the Kalari Gurukkal. It was during these travels that he encountered Montague Castanella, who recognized Ephram's connection to the arcane realms. Montague invited Ephram into the Midnighter Club, where Ephram quickly became one of the Midnight Squad's most dependable agents.
The one quality that has made Ephram invaluable to the Midnighters is his clarity of mind; no matter the situation, Ephram Sha retains a firm grasp on his surroundings. This made him an obvious choice when it came time to send agents to Dark Astoria, where visions of horror haunt one's every step.
Initial Contact
- From Eye of Judgement given by Captain Nolan:
Ah, Character. I am pleased to make your acquaintance. My name is Ephram Sha. I represent the broader interests for the Midnight Squad, here in the heart of darkness.
Dark Astoria is in turmoil, Character. Everywhere one looks, there is death and chaos rising to claim this world. My mind's eye is capable of ferreting out the sources of this darkness, but my powers alone cannot banish it.
The Midnight Squad has tasked me to seek out spirits of great power, and request their aid. If your aim is to turn back the tide of death in Dark Astoria, then we have a common goal. I will be here to fight against the darkness that emerges. However, if you wish to get to the bottom of what is happening, I would suggest finding Heather Townshend. She is helping two of my associates with the matters here in Dark Astoria.
Ephram Sha is a repeatable mission giver in Dark Astoria. You can always get various missions from him. Enemies in these missions will reward incarnate experience and have a chance to drop incarnate threads. Completing a repeatable mission will give you a choice of either two incarnate threads, five reward merits, or a single super inspiration.
Greetings
- My meditations have revealed disturbing truths. We must act quickly.
- Your assistance is most appreciated, Character.
- Greetings, Character. Let us attempt to push back this darkness.

Missions
Good Intentions
Briefing
It is unfortunate, Character. I had hoped that, given a common enemy, we could make an alliance with the Tsoo, and work together to drive back Mot. Unfortunately, they have turned to extreme measures that we cannot abide.
In an attempt to prevent Mot from feeding off of the suffering of the citizens summoned to Dark Astoria, the Tsoo have begun to enact 'mercy killings'. They believe that if someone dies swiftly and peacefully, then Mot cannot gain from the death.
This practice needs to end, Character.
- Stop the Tsoo mercy killings
Our members have tracked the Tsoo to an abandoned warehouse nearby. We believe that they are holding their misguided ceremonies there.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Please, Character. The Tsoo are killing needlessly. I wish to prevent Mot's ascension, but I do not wish for us to lose our humanity in the process.
Mission Objective(s)
You can hear muffled cries as you enter the warehouse. This must be the place.
- Stop the Tsoo Mercy Killings
- 3 civilians to save
You have rescued citizens of Paragon from death at the hands of the Tsoo.
Ritual Knives
Briefing
As you must already know, the MAGI branch in Galaxy City was destroyed in the recent Shivan attack. The artifacts it held, however, were most certainly not all destroyed, and it seems that a few have made their way into Dark Astoria.
This is most unfortunate, Character. Most of the forces operating in Dark Astoria are capable of putting those artifacts to use, and few of those uses are ones we want to see happen. If you can track them down, we may be able to retrieve them before they can be misused.
- Retrieve the MAGI Artifacts
Excellent. We've detected the traces of three separate artifacts, that appear to have been moved to a nearby network of caves. Hopefully whoever brought them there does not yet understand their use.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Make haste, Character. Every second you delay, the chances of catastrophe grow greater.
Mission Objective(s)
This is the cave network that Maharim directed you to. Those MAGI artifacts should be here somewhere.
- Retrieve the MAGI Artifacts
- 3 artifacts to find
- Fight off the Knives of Vengeance
You've retrieved three precious MAGI artifacts from the Knives of Vengeance.
Enemies
|
Ambush! An ambush occurs immediately after obtaining the last artifact. |
 |
The Tomes of Erraton |
| Legend says that every spell that Erraton ever knew is housed within these spellbound pages. If someone were to ever manage to open the book, they would have access to a near-limitless source of arcane knowledge. |
|
Corpolo's Ashes |
| These ashes are not technically those of Corpolo, but of his latest host. If this case were ever opened, the creature would seek out a new one immediately... which would likely end up being the poor fool that opened it. |
|
The Shard of the Arcane |
| This large crystal is made entirely of arcane energy. If it remains in one place for too long, it will begin to grow 'roots' in the material world. Given enough time, the roots would spread across the world, growing into a massive crystal forest of arcane power. |
Debriefing
Your assistance is most appreciated, Character.
