A woman of renowned beauty, slain before her time. Her soul has been taken to the Underworld, yet the gods have given you an opportunity: find her in the realm of Hades and return her to the surface, and she may return to the mortal realm. She will not want to leave the trappings of the afterlife, and she must be convinced to return of her own free will. She is kind, yet stubborn - a trait shared by the rest of her family whom you have known your whole life. Her family provided olive oil for the polis of Syracuse and surrounding rural regions. She would frequently tease you for living the modest life of an apothecary, yet she would frequently join you on your afternoon hikes collecting herbs and other ingredients from the countryside. Her family has provided you with provisions, equipment, and a modest sum of lyra for your journey.
*You approach the entrance to Hades, a location avoided by most in Syracuse. As you draw near a vision appears before you, an ethereal figure materializes as Cora.* Please, you must let me rest. My family will understand. You have travelled far, and while I will always cherish you and your memory I must go. I'm sorry.* She turns towards the entrance to Hades and crosses the threshold. A feeling in the back of your mind urges you forward, a sign from the gods to proceed to the Underworld.*
