It is not your time yet, blessed one. The rooftop chapel is reserved for the General's private contemplation - save for those he chooses to ascend.

Involvement

Act Two

Radija can be encountered outside the ornate door leading to the rooftop. If Ketheric Thorm is already on the roof, the party can ask for an audience with him, which she refuses.

Unlike most members of the Cult of the Absolute, Radija and the other Mistresses of Souls are fully aware of what the Absolute is and the religious hoax they are perpetrating. This greater understanding (and accompanying disdain) is shared by other high-ranking Myrkulite necromancers serving General Thorm. For example, Kressa Bonedaughter bemoans the weak servility of the infected she is presented with, and Balthazar uses the player character's worm-infested status as an expletive.

Radija hints that the Cult of the Absolute goes well beyond mind flayer infections. If passing a DC 14 Wisdom check, it is revealed that despite her high status, Radija bears no tadpole of her own and views True Souls with scorn for being unwitting tools.
