Purgatory

The Purgatory was a Fluid Artifact created by Sigmar on Yotai Shien 3 Space Station. It was destined to be a gift for his son Nylreg for his fifth birthday. Since then what was once just a toy for a special child has grown to incommensurable proportions.

After Jake ended his third Ordeal, it became a Bronze Aether Artifact throught the modifications of the Grade 4 Aetherist Nytisus who also added his own experiences.

## Under Nylreg's ownership

The villages are the result of the fusion of a Fluid Grandmaster Spell and the technology of the space station.

The Purgatory is a place of penance and atonement. You must pay for your faults and sins. So in both of these examples (when your Purgatory Card runs out of Fluid, or when you violate the rules), you will be sent to the Pit. If you survive, you will be given a second chance. For those whose Purgatory Card was depleted, 5M units will be returned to them.

Each time you return to the Pit, the punishment will be greater, but you may also come out of it stronger. Though, the most likely conclusion is death. Believe me, running into a pack of Hunters would be by far the lightest punishment...

### Village

#### 1st Round

There was an enchanting and peaceful landscape. Beautiful stone houses with perfect triangular red brick roofs, cobblestone paths, well-mown lawns, a forest, a fountain, and a small lake. The villages central plaza, a small cobblestone square with a tiny fountain in the center and step-like stands reminiscent of an amphitheater or forum of antiquity. In the old days, this was the kind of community place where decisions, votes and debates took place. Of course, it was not exactly like on Earth.

A large circular marble table was erected in front of the fountain in the squares center. On it, black metal cards formed a perfectly ordered pile. The word Purgatory was written in gold-letters on the card at the top of the pile.

There were subtle differences in the architecture of the village, including the height of the doors, the color and type of wood used. The design was still essentially medieval, not to say archaic. Most notably, there were mysterious runes emitting a faint black light covering the floor and walls of each structure.

Not all the houses in the village looked alike. On the corner of the street he could make out a building that looked like a restaurant or a tavern, while a little farther on a dead smithy was waiting to be rekindled. The small stone castle at the top of the hill and by the lake stood out even more and could not be ignored. There was even a kind of chapel or small temple bearing the effigy of an obscure deity. There was also a spacious manor house on the east side of the lake.

In the center of the village, along the main street, some of these buildings had other functions such as the Bakery, the Grocery, the Blacksmiths Shop, the Tannery or the Tavern. The village was bordered by the lake to the North, the forest to the West, the mine to the East and the farmlands to the South. The manor house was to the Northeast, while his own residence as Forest Warden was at the far West of the village.

#### 2nd Round

Th village layout was the same as in the 1st Round but a large castle had been added for the Lord. Also, it was now possible to reach other villages.

### Pit

The Pit was a large, poorly lit cavern, since the chasm had closed over them with a pool filled with an orange liquid reminiscent of pumpkin soup at its center. There were small holes in the walls, evenly spaced and reminiscent of the architecture of a termite mound.

### Purgatory Card

The Purgatory Cards were black metalic cards that served as a Fluid storage device. The object was linked to the Soul, ensuring that it could not be used without his consent, but there was also a trace of another Contractor called Nylreg according to the interface.

Everyone started with 10,000,000 units of Fluid in their Cards.
