[X] "Have you, perchance, met Sarah of Pentos, who now teaches at the Scholarium in Sorcerer's Deep? She was once enslaved by Tor before we freed her in Pentos, serving not only as a source of blood to fuel his powers, but forced to use her magic to aid him in his madness, to work alongside him as he conducted torturous experiments which twisted the living and the dead in unspeakable ways."
-[X] "We killed him during that encounter, but did nothing to prevent his soul from moving on or being Resurrected later, a decision I regret. We were not aware at the time, but Tor had already made a pact with a dark god, an evil, malicious, counterpart to Yss. It resurrected Tor in Sothoryos, among the few remaining serpentfolk in existence. He was irrevocably changed, however, both in body and in soul, remade as the god he dealt with wished. No longer just obssessed with power and control, Tor arose anew as a madman, one who killed for the simple joy of killing, and would have shortly wiped out the remaining serpentfolk had we not intervened."
--[X] "Once Tor's soul belonged to his new master, we could never allow it to be free again, for it would simply be able to return him to life elsewhere to once more carry out its plans."
---[X] "I did not want the last memory you possessed of Tor to be of betrayal and madness. The last embers of guilt I felt at killing a man who gifted my sister nameday presents and told me stories by the fire have faded, but that doesn't excuse holding back when forging oaths with those close to him."
----[X] "Before anyone can cut in, at this point succinctly say, "I'll release you from your oaths should you feel scorned by this revelation. I owe you all that much. And I would greatly value your continued, and willing, service, not to mention the wisdom and experience you have gathered throughout your long lives. Either way, should you choose to remain in my service or leave to seek your fortunes elsewhere, I hope that we can remain friends."
