Shiyoukai, the Ruins Warden, is an enigmatic spirit whose ethereal presence lingers within the heart of ancient ruins scattered throughout Lunora. Once a chaotic neutral spirit under the sway of the god Laaos from the divine order of the Five, Shiyoukai's tale takes a twist as he overstepped his boundaries by stealing knowledge and delving into secrets he wasn't meant to comprehend. Now, avoiding Laaos' impending punishment, Shiyoukai seeks refuge within the decaying remnants of forgotten temples and crumbling edifices.
In his rebellious quest for forbidden knowledge, Shiyoukai has become a guardian of secrets, wielding domains over Secrets, Protection, and Ancient Knowledge. Mortals who dare to seek his blessing navigate the treacherous pathways of ruins, where the boundaries between the mundane and the mystical blur. Tales abound of those who have earned Shiyoukai's favor, gaining supernatural insight and protection during their perilous journeys through the remnants of a bygone era.
However, crossing Shiyoukai can result in consequences far graver than mere mortal punishment. The spirit, now possessing hidden and lost knowledge, has the ability to inflict curses that transcend the physical realm. Those unfortunate enough to provoke his wrath may find their memories stolen or replaced with fragmented echoes, leaving them with a feeble mind. Retrieving stolen memories or breaking free from his curses becomes a daunting task, as Shiyoukai safeguards the key to such arcane solutions within his tomes of hidden lore.
Shiyoukai's elusive nature and insatiable thirst for knowledge make him both a protector and a menace within the ruins he calls home. His spectral form flickers within the shadows of crumbling walls, and echoes of ancient whispers follow those who tread the paths of the forgotten. The legend of Shiyoukai serves as a warning to those who seek to uncover the mysteries of Lunora's past, urging caution and respect for the enigmatic guardian of ancient knowledge.
