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

• Contact will provide repeatable missions without any introduction. He is introduced during the Eye of Judgement story arc from Captain Nolan, as follows:

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

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

• Knives of Vengeance
  

Ambush! An ambush occurs immediately after obtaining the last artefact.

	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.
