[Yes, I can assume that all spirits have the equivalent of the RuneQuest
Second Sight spell, which means that they can tel the Power of an opponent
within 5 points. Which makes this one quite tough indeed... About a 3W5]

The burning ball of spiritual fire glows and fades as voices come from it.

"Raising the black sun? That is an old and strange cult one one that was
once with me, and not one that has been in favour of Chaos in the past.
What sort of madness has afflicted this Durulz and why do they seek me, I
wonder?

Once I was the ruler of the Kingdom of Ignorance, before the Great
Darkness and warred against the land called Kralorela, until Shavaya
brought me enlightenment. So I rested in peace for many hundreds of years,
until the Char Un called me and, as Kargzant, I razed the forests of the
Aldryami, who they call BadTrees, in the land of Erigia, firing star
metals into the earth.

The Elves worship the Sun in some places, the Sun burns them in others.
There are no Elves that consider me a friend.

That was my last great action in physical form. I do not aspire to such
things again. For three hundred years I walk these broken lands seeking
solace from the confusions of my past. Still the shaman of the sons of
Kargzant call me, and my spirit aides provide fire to them, both in Erigia
and in Pent.

Know that I am fire, and I am wind, Reindeer spirit. I was once considered
a God by many, and few still call my name. But my work on this earth is
done. I do not wish to be brought into the conflicts of the Elder or Young
races, who use as tools for their desires. My old realm of Jankley Bore is
but a home for ghosts."
