Ratau – Character Quotes

Fear not! I am Ratau. I was once a chosen vessel like you, but those days are lost to the winds. I was sent to guide you. We are deep in the lands of the Old Faith and in grave danger. My instructions are to lead you to safety. Continue through the woods. Escape lies ahead. I will be close by.

We have nearly reached safety, but look ahead! another poor soul about to be sacrificed. Rescue them and they would have no choice but to join your new cult.

This hallowed ground which once was mine, is now yours. This crumbling ruin is to be the site of your new Cult. We have much to do. We begin by indoctrinating this poor soul into the warm embrace of your Cult. Followers can gather resources for you. Order this one to collect Lumber or Stone.

By your hand, our Cult will grow powerful! But your Followers can not live on prayer alone, they must eat. Gather the necessary resources and build a Cooking Fire. It will allow you to prepare meals for your Followers.

Now we must build a Shrine — but first we will need more Followers and more gold. Both of which can be found when crusading through the lands of The Old Faith. Ourmutual benefactr The One Who Waits has been trapped by the four Bishops of the Old Faith. Each of them guards a chain that binds him to the realm beyond. We have conjured openings to their realms. It is your task to track them down and slay them so that he may be freed. Now go! There you shall find gold and willing recruits and for those who are not willing, convert them by FORCE!

I am relieved to see you made it safely, and you have not returned alone. You have convinced more to join our faithful flock. Let us indoctrinate this new convert so that we may continue.

Followers will either work or worship. Worshipping Followers generate Devotion for you to collect. But to collect Devotion, you require a Shrine.

Praise be! Your Followers can now worship you! Here is a new Follower. Assign them to Worship a the the Shrine.

You were amazing to behold. A natural leader. I see why you were chosen. If you are to guide your Cult you will need to declare Doctrines so that they might obey you. Return to the lands of the Old Faith and seek out Commandment Stone fragments. With these you will be able to declare new Doctrines.

I am glad I found you. I bring good news! The One Who Waits is pleased with your progress and wishes to grant you a Crown Ability. Enemies you slay will now drop Fervour. Collect this to replenish your Curses.

Preaching sermons, performing rituals and providing for the needs of your Followers will keep their Faith high. The Bones of your enemies are required to perform such Rituals. Destroy their skeletons to gather their bones. Returns to the lands of the Old Faith, gather bones from fallen enemies, recruit more Followers and return to perform a Ritual here in the Temple.

Indotrinating followers is well and good, but there is so much more you can take from them. Give them gifts, complete quests and performing blessings for them and you will increase their Loyalty to you. Once they are totally loyal to you, they will give you everything they own. Watch as I show you. You, Follower, come back in here! The more loyal Followers you have, the stronger you'll become. I have much to teach you, but I am old and grow weary. Visit me at my home and I will show you how to harness the true POWER of the Red Crown!
