Rumors among the gamblers, drifters, and vagrants of Azir describe a noble outlaw who has been extending help to the poor and downtrodden, asking for their secret devotion to Abadar in exchange for enough gold to realize whatever dreams they may hold.
While this patron’s residence is unknown, spending time in prayer with her has produced real golden relics that many believe come directly from Abadar’s First Vault. It is rumored that this patron bears one of the mystical keys to said vault.
Individuals involved with law enforcement know that these statues have been associated with several grim disappearances all over Azir, and many of these folk believe the statues are no boon, but the physical expression of fell magic. They further believe that the statues are somehow connected to a strange disease that causes an afflicted person’s skin, eyes, fingernails, and hair to crust over with flaking gold - an affliction that’s earned the nickname “aurum death” by locals.
Many have witnessed terrifying, gold-clad undead roaming the streets at night in some of Azir’s shadier areas. Some believe that these creatures arise from those slain by aurum death. The Pure Legion has been attempting both to locate the origin of these gold-clad creatures and to gain more information about this strange “servant of Abadar” and that individual’s possible connection to these unsettling events.
