We have met in battle, but not in peace. I am Balbala, once a traitor, long a sorrowed prisoner. As Djinn, here I shall serve as your guide. Together, we shall prove ourselves worthy.
— Introduction |
You have danced with death... and survived. The trial is complete! Whether they like it or not, the others must accept you as a dekhara now. The tale-woman life was never meant for you. I can see that, so perhaps they will come to see it as well. I will remain here for the time being. I am finally free, but I find I do not wish to rest just yet. This place is in disrepair. Though it may take another thousand years, I must restore it to its former glory. Should you need me, I will continue to serve as your guide here.
— Victory in the Trial |
It is done! You are no longer a jingakh! You now carry with you the spirit of a Maraketh dekhara. I am finally free, but I find I do not wish to rest just yet. This place is in disrepair. Though it may take another thousand years, I must restore it to its former glory. Should you need me, I will continue to serve as your guide here.
— Victory in the Trial |
I have had a great many years to think on my foolish choices, and now all I want is to earn my right to rest. This place was built to determine honour, to prove oneself worthy as a Sekhema. Tradition allowed for one dekhara, and one advisor. If I aid you here, and if you succeed, then my crimes will finally be forgiven. Then, and only then, may I join those that have gone before.
— The Trial |
I hardly know the woman I was before. I remember betraying my akhara, but the reasons why now feel petty and small. If I could go back, if I could speak to the woman I was, I would tell her what a fool she was being. Would she listen? Probably not... The mistakes we make are shaped from who we are.
— Traitor |
The tale-women of many akharas gathered on the day of my sentencing. Death was not punishment enough for my crime. They enacted the ritual, but my imprisonment as Djinn would not have been possible without my willful agreement. I accepted. I let it happen, because I deserved it. I have no idea how long I was trapped there, but it was as close to eternity as I can possibly imagine.
— Imprisonment |
The role of advisor is strictly bound by tradition. I may offer you aid, but only in certain specific ways. Look to me in your times of doubt.
— Aid |
The river inside you, the essence of who you are, can be torn out of you under the right conditions. It can be speared, or bottled, or chained. A spirit without a body, especially one created in this manner, is called a Djinn. It has prolonged my existence, but it is not a form anyone should desire... I grow hungry, but cannot eat. I grow tired, but cannot sleep. I would give anything just to feel the chill of a single sip of water one more time.
— BalbalaOnDjinn |
What happened to the Plains of Vastiri? The land has changed so much since the time of my imprisonment. There were several desert regions slowly spreading, but it wasn't like this. The very Gates where I committed my crimes were water-locks for a river. Now, there is nothing but sand and salt flats. How could they have allowed this to happen?
— Vastiri Desert |
If you wish to challenge the Trial again, find more baryas, more coins. The Djinn within will inhabit this place, much like I do.
— Coins |
The foe ahead is... Formidable. Steel yourself.

Two ancient guardians await you ahead.

This was the end of the Trial in my time... But I sense another being resides here. Perhaps you can challenge them, if you can find them.
— BalbalaScorpionDefeated |
This battle is our sacred duty.
— BalbalaBeforeZarokhFight |
I understand now. Perhaps my purpose was to be here, to aid you in this, all along. Thank you.
