In the city of Elturel Alariel Skykin, a captivating elven woman, grappled with a profound self-doubt and

an inferiority complex that cast shadows over her celestial beauty. Micha Ben Toby, a wise psionic
warrior, recognized the fragility beneath Alariel's ethereal facade and became her guiding light in a
journey of self-discovery welcoming her into The Order, a knightly order of Psions.

As Alariel navigated the elven society with a heart burdened by insecurities, Toby's psionic touch delved
into the intricate tapestry of her emotions. Amidst the verdant glades and ancient ruins of Faerun, their
mentorship unfolded, transforming Alariel's internal struggles into a dance of ethereal power.

However, the allure of forbidden arcane knowledge whispered to Alariel, promising validation and power
beyond her wildest dreams. In a moment of vulnerability, she succumbed to these dark whispers, forging
an infernal pact that stained her radiant spirit.

As Alariel delved deeper into the ancient ruins of the Netherese, seeking to unlock the mysteries of her
psionic potential, she unknowingly triggered latent connections to the malevolent force. Veiled in the
arcane charged energies of Netherese remnants, Asmodeus seized the opportunity to manipulate
Alariel’s perceptions, planting seeds of doubt and ambition that would later blossom into a dangerous
desire for forbidden knowledge.

The turning point occurred during a perilous encounter in the Auroch Desert, where Alariel’s inner
turmoil manifested in the twisted landscape. Asmodeus, ever watchful, exploited the desolation, offering
Alariel dark bargains in exchange for unrivaled arcane might. The malevolent force preyed on Alariel’s
fear of inadequacy, promising her power beyond imagination and control over the very fabric of reality.

Micha Ben Toby, sensing the encroaching darkness, attempted to intervene, but Asmodeus’s insidious
influence had already taken root.

In the streets of Elturel whilst it was overrun by devils, the final tragedy unfolded. Micha Ben Toby,
witnessing the irreversible corruption of Alariel, knew that drastic measures were needed to prevent the
impending catastrophe. With a heavy heart and a somber determination, Toby faced his fallen
apprentice in a desperate attempt to sever the infernal ties that bound Alariel to Asmodeus.

Their psionic clash was cataclysmic, the very walls of Elturel shaking to the tumultuous battle between
light and darkness. In a moment of poignant sacrifice, Toby, driven by a profound sorrow, struck down
Alariel, severing the mortal vessel from the malevolent pact. Alariel’s life force dissipated, and in that
instant, Asmodeus revealed the insidious truth: the infernal pact was a trap, designed to claim Alariel’s
soul for the depths of hell.
As Alariel’s life force ebbed away, her soul was inexorably drawn into the clutches of Asmodeus. The
malevolent force, having orchestrated this tragic tale from the beginning, reveled in the fulfillment of its
dark design. Alariel Skykin, once a promising member of The Order, now descended into the infernal
abyss, forever ensnared in the machinations of Asmodeus.

Micha Ben Toby, burdened by the weight of his actions, stood amidst the fall of Ascalhorn, despite their
fateful clash, Micha could not stop the creation of Hell’s Keep. Haunted by the consequences of a destiny
rewritten by the malevolent force that lurked within the shadows of Faerun, Micha, through many
months of research, found that her soul could be retrieved and even redeemed! Blaming himself for her
downfall he set off looking for a way into hell itself. After several years and many dead ends on many
planes Ben Toby now finds himself back in the Western Heartlands hoping this clue is the one that will
lead him to her.
