It reforged me into this, and gave me fragments of Her memories, along with a number of powers. I'm building a stronghold, and plan to conquer the region and Bastion itself once I have enough power. Feeding my power requires sacrifices, preferably virgin women that are divine casters. Virgins of any type work, though they are not necessarily<em>consumed</em>in the process. You would either help guard the dungeon, or lead raids to get the wealth needed to attract more powerful minions. And you would get a share of wealth, of course, and possibly the pick of any males or females I don't need."
