Upon arrival at the docks in Ambury, the party surveys the other ships around them seeing many colorful sails marking different groups and types of transport. Amongst the many vessels, they notice a group of people disembarking from a ship with all black sails. The leader of the Syntyvä religion, Kesa Modwinn descends the gangplank and enters Ambury Town.

After a few seconds of pondering what to do, our heroes decide to follow her and her entourage to see what is going on. As they walk, they check out her followers and notice several robed and hooded people who flank Kesa and a well-built, blond-haired, blue-eyed soldier walking side-by-side with Kesa. Reaching the town center, Kesa Modwinn is inside a animal pen feeding and petting several goats while her followers erect a platform. She then exits, mounts the platform and gives a heartfelt speech about the Syntyvä religion , why she founded it, and her vision from Ndu. Listening to the speech are many townsfolk, amongst who are what appear to be several followers with the front half of their heads shaved bald.

Once she finishes her speech, she invites those listening who are inspired to follow her on a journey with the true gods to come forward. A few do and she cuts off a small lock of their hair, transforms it to a small golden phoenix and hands it back to them as she whispers something in their ears. The event complete, Kesa and her entourage walk up in the direction of the Ambury Temple.
