Kohliya's Treasure Myth in Ethnis | World Anvil

Kohliya's Treasure

Kohliya's Treasure is a rumor originating from Kholiya's Nest. It speaks of powers unimaginable for the people of Saumai; a weapon with a power to reverse death, held by the keeper of Death.

Whether or not such an item still exists is the subject of many conversations, especially in the town nearest to Kohliya's Nest, Vorshurr.

 

There are many here who believe that a tide-changing power awaits whomever manages to delve into the nest of Kohliya and survive.

I suggest you don't die trying to find out if it is true or not. We've already lost so many to the ghosts and Kohliya himself.

Rumors of Life amongst Death

Before the fall of Saumai, there were writing of a new miracle device invented by the son of Andrei, Kohliya. It was able to regenerate the most grevious diseases without leaving even a scar.

This news has persisted through catastrophy and collapse through rumors and myths. Countless people have vanished or perished trying to find any hint of this 'treasure' kept by Kohliya.

Fueling this rumor is the idea that Kohliya is known to the local people of Vorshurr as the "Keeper of Death." For who better would keep the key to living than the one who maintains the sanctity of death.

With this Myth still well and alive, many Vorshurrians will enter expeditions to attempt to find the entrance to Kohliya's nest, expecting to find the treasure within, for hope is in short supply and people are willing to sacrifice anything for a glimmer of it.

 

The oldest amongst us still remember seeing articles this 'treasure', there is no way it still exists out there.

Only fools and idiots seek out the treasure, at least it trims the brash from our ranks.

— Vorshurrian Elder
