Your captor talks to you at length, asking you much about your life. He does not begrudge the short answers you give him, filling in the silence with extended accounts of his own experiences. You learn that his people had lived in the desert behind the cliffs, farming what they could on the banks of sluggish river. Droughts where common, but they became good at using what little land they had for crops and preserving any excess food they had in times of plenty. Ironically enough it was the goblins that ended them.<br/>Greedy for their gold the green skinned creatures attacked, and where repelled. However, they used some surprisingly sophisticated tactics like attacking the flank with wolf riders and using smaller units to lure them into ambushes. This fight for his town was, as Ramasu describes, a mortal wound. They won, but lost so many men that they could not keep the natural beasts of the desert at bay, and it was clear they were going to die. That was when the shrine was built, sealed with powerful earthen magic.<br/>The topic of his people’s downfall does seems to be Ramasu’s favourite story to tell, but he also informs you of the religious significance of the shrine, ashamedly admitting that in the anger of his loneliness he had blasphemously toppled the statues of the minor gods, leaving only the three Sky Emperors standing. He also accounts of his peoples heroes. Leratii, the first hero who slew a scorpion monster and used its blood to consecrate the ritual room of the temple he has built. Imakuten the cunning, a warrior priest who hunted many dangerous creatures, disappeared one night to hunt a dawn stalker and never returned. Amirada, a high priest who saved them all from a plague by sacrificing his life in a ritual spell of cleansing.<br/>Not needing to do much you heal on your second night, but for the first three days this means little as your captor barely lets you out of his sight. He is a loner by nature however and after four days of talking his need for companionship becomes simpler, focusing purely on the carnal aspects of what you can provide for him. He spends more time wallowing the in the waters of the lake, only joining you later behind the locked room at the centre of the island shrine. Having no need for your glowing bracelet, Ramasu tosses it into a piles of gold and gems.
