removed emotion entity

The Guilt

Summary

The Guilt is one of Ennui’s removed emotions, but remains a standalone entity rather than being folded back into him. It has presented itself as an Excellence and as an Avatar of Pride, while also claiming access to Grand Towers controls and the Barrier prison system. The Guilt accidentally opened a prison while controlling a wizard, promised to reset Grand Towers and repair prisons, and insisted that the party should contain five members. Its history is further tied to Brookville Springs, council-memory manipulation, and a dangerous chest in which it was found unconscious.
