"Like so many others, Ruthgert was fooled by Nyrissa. She pretended to be the goddess of these lands, told Ruthgert of the curse of the baron, and promised him untold gifts in return for the death of this ruler.

And he, in his turn, did everything he could to draw his former congregation into this vile cult.
