“Killing each other like this, it's stupid!„
Involvement[edit | edit source]
Act One[edit | edit source]
Varrl is encountered in the midst of being reprimanded by his combat instructor, 
Sa'varsh Kethk. Kethk is disgusted by the youth's countenance, soft for a githyanki warrior, and seeks a challenger to fight the boy to teach him a lesson. If uninterrupted, the party steps up to fight, or if an ensuing ability check fails, Varrl is killed.
Alternatively, if the party persuades Kethk to spare him, or he is knocked out and then healed, Varrl can be talked to afterwards. Varrl confesses his doubts on the teachings of 
Vlaakith but stops short of naming who the player reminded him of. The party can coax the name 'Orpheus' from him which causes him to reveal the story of 
Orpheus, and offers the party 
Orpheus, Prince of the Comet, Part Two: Sacrifice if persuaded to or shown the first part. The party can betray Varrl's confidence by revealing his heretical education to Kethk, resulting in Varrl's death.
Varrl may also reveal that he placed Orpheus' mark somewhere in the crèche, hoping to find another interested in Orpheus' story. The mark can be found on Vlaakith's portrait, a black line drawing of a streaking comet.
More information about Varrl can be found in a book in the infirmary. 
Ghustil Stornugoss has healed Varrl 47 times, considers him a waste of resources, and asks Sa'varsh Kethk to "do something about him", which may have prompted the confrontation the party saw.
When the crèche becomes hostile, Varrl disappears with the gith children, which may prevent the party from completing the quest.
