Did I eat bad cheese last night or was the vision of the golden elephant Lulu actually real?
She showed me my past in the Spires of the Morning but also showed me things I had not seen at the time... A vampire was there and seemed to hold sway over those that mentored me; apparently she was the minion of some powerful Shadowfell entity (Turokar) that had taken an interest in me and was attempting to guide my destiny. Though I'm not convinced they would've spent the resources on a peasant anyway, it was the influence of this being that convinced Aurora Pilum not to bring back my sister back and to keep pushing me toward my supposed "destiny".
Lulu also shared with me that the entity held some sort of influence over Malakor.
