Talma's Farm

Overview
This farmhouse and associated barn belongs to Talma: a single mother of one daughter and a sheepherder. During the recent earthquake the barn collapsed, killing most of the sheep. It was the only building to collapse and when investigated further, a cavern was found beneath it. The cavern has inscriptions on the wall that are impossible to read, even with comprehend languages you just gain a heavy headache from trying to read it.

One of the cavern walls also has a large marble face (4m tall) set into it, similar to the faces found in the Pit of Many Faces, with a marble bowl on a pedestal in front of it. The bowl has the words 'accept to serve' inscribed on the inside. The face hides the entrance to the Temple of the Titan.

The Sapphire Guard has begun a mining operation to get through the rock next to the marble face, thus opening access to the temple for anyone.

Cultists of the Cult of the Titan
Anyone who have made a blood sacrifice in the bowl, and thus accepted to serve the titan, can read the inscriptions on the walls. They speak of freedom in servitude among other things. They are also able to make the face sink into the ground and reveal a passage into the temple. This passage promptly closes as the cultist in question has passed through however. Though the Staff of the Keeper is able to open it for others by pointing it at the entrance and uttering 'open' in the language of the titan.

Sharona
Before Talma, the farmhouse had stood abandoned for quite some time. The previous owner Sharona was a lady who everyone tried to avoid and was thought to be a bit crazy. She spoke of adventures in caverns and had visitors from hooded figures at strange times. She is supposedly buried in the local cemetery. The only thing Talma kept from her things that was left in the house was Sharona's Chalice.
