Over the course of a day and a half, the Righteous Flame Na'Karia was present at the temple. Tending to her usual temple duties, teaching the acolytes and drawing up a buildings for a new temple to visual see what had been in her head for so long. Day became night, and in the night the Righteous Flame would sit in silence reading the prayer book of her faith.
Quiet Rumors spread from the temple about how the Righteous Flame has been scouring through book after book on the shelves in the late hours of the night in search of something. Murmuring under her breath things such as '...it must be a god...', '...the path was lost to the gnolls...', and '...I have to find the right one...'
Returning to the temple from the crypts below it, the Righteous Flame brushed off the cobwebs and set her shield and flail down beside the second altar close to the sealed doors. She still didn't quite understand how or why the undead were restless below the halfling village, but she didn't mind thinning the numbers or repaying the Litches a visit on her own. Though she knew one of these days...those litches would get the last laugh. Til then, she went about her daily routines.
Rumors from the temple: The Righteous Flame tiefling comes and goes from the temple per her normal habits, but acolytes of the faith would notice a change in her. She now prays in the Temple each morning before the alter, a slip of paper in her hand as she softly speaks among the Roaring fires.
"Kossuth, lord of fire, guide me with your flame in the darkness. Burn away the impurities and imperfections upon my soul so that I may be cleansed to serve your will. Allow me to be a beacon of your divine flame, so that I may guid the Lost through the darkness."
After her prayer, she tosses the paper into the Flame of Purification behind the alter along with a Fire Opal.

Word from the Temple speak of a interaction between the Righteous Flame Tiefling, the priest in charge of the Temple, and an Uthgard warrior about a Demon Weapon. While discussing means to be rid of the weapon, a pair of Azer that had arrived earlier spoke up and offered to take the weapon to the Plane of Elemental Fire to be destroyed. An agreement was made and the Azer left with the weapon. However the priest made mention...that this might not be the last time the Azer would be seen.
Hushed whispers from the temple speak of the Righteous Flame Tiefling looking to hold a festival in honor of the Flamelord. Though what plans and ideas she has conjured up, have not been shared with anyone yet. All that is known however, is that Fire will be present.
Rumors from the Temple: Speak of the Righteous Flame Tiefling combating the undead in the crypts below the temple on a daily basis. Every morning she wakes, she would make her way down to the crypts blow the Halfling village then reemerge in the Temple, dusting off cobwebs and bonemeal. There's also an arsenic scent to her after each return as well, possibly due to the uses of a Flame enchantment to her flail. Whatever the case may be though, she seems to maintain this diligent course of action.
Rumors from the temple speak of the Righteous Flame tiefling standing beside the second Brazier in the temple placing some logs of wood in it before lighting it with some steel and flint. She waits for a good while til the brazier is properly a blaze with fire befire she tosses in a Fire Opal as an offering then asks a questuin to the fire. Or more specifically, her Lord.
"Kossuth, Lord of Flames, I humbly ask you for clarity on a pair of Blade that had been bestowed upon and bound to a Thayan Gnoll Shaman. What is their current state now that the Shaman is dead? Is his soul still Bound to the Blades or are they bound to what remains of the Gnoll named Rhulg."
At the end of her question, the tiefling remains where she is. Tending to the flame with patience.
Rumors from the temple: speak of the Righteous Flame tiefling getting her gear sorted and around before hoiting her pack onto her shoulders. She mutters a quiet prayer to her god for protection before head out towards Fire Wine bridge then the Uldoon Trail. Left on the table is a map of the Reaching Woods with a location circled. The only note on the map appears to be a small doodle of grass done in charcoal with blue flames around it and a question mark.
