Noxia

Summary

Noxia is a destructive divine or corrupting force tied to scorpion symbolism, barrier bargain terms, corrupted earth, a Noxia chamber in Ashkellon, and possible Noxia blood found in Riversmeet’s old mage school.

Known Details

• Earlier auction and bargain clues connected Noxia to a holy symbol, bargain trinkets, and barrier sickness.
• On day-42, the party found a Noxia chamber with purple crackling energy, a green dripping blob, a medusa, a statue figure, a child of the Mother with a worm, an eyeless dog, bronze, and a telescope like Emri’s.
• The party killed the Noxia Beast avatar, while a later observatory book said Noxia wanted to walk on the earth and that Noxia’s blood corrupted land after a fight with Sierra, Goddess of the Hunt.
• On day-44, Ennuyé recognized Geldrin as touched by the lady of destruction, and a bottle of green liquid from the desert may have been Noxia blood.
• The green liquid wanted to return to the rest of itself in the desert; after time-door events, some of it had returned home.
• On day-53, Perodita claimed the goliaths’ suffering was tribute to Noxia.
• On day-55, killing Perodita released Noxia essence. Most things healed it, but the party killed the essence and moved the remaining Noxia ooze into a barrel.
