Oshun

Oshun is a radiant Orisha whose extraordinary Charisma charms Carl and Anton while offering wealth, healing, survival, and protection from rival gods.

Story so far

Oshun appears as an ethereal dark-skinned woman beside the fourth shrine and immediately feels more compelling than Signet. Her voice seems to whisper directly into listeners' ears and inspires Carl to protect her.

She promises untold riches and safety from every other god. Her shrine would prevent five fatal blows for each participant, increase Charisma by fifty percent, grant level-10 Heal Party, and return her to the Ascendency.

Carl escapes the allure by breaking his finger. Anton remains captivated, throws away Ogun's shrine piece, and begins rebuilding Oshun's monument until Ines removes several of his fingers.

Oshun later speaks inside Carl's mind, offering to drain away the violent River, and protests when Yemaya wins.
