Character: Oriphi Canon: Original Current Canon Point: Right before the big finale of the quest she is on, as detailed in the background section of the original app. New Canon Point: Post final quest! Updated Background: tl;dr Ori and her friends save the world, she gets her sister back, and everything is great. She definitely didnāt almost die a couple of times.
Ori and her friends discover in the process of retrieving the final gemstone that her sister and the rest of the Fangs of the Fox were sold out and enthralled by cultist monks using the power of the Death Diamond. Ori manages to break the thrall, and the sisters reunite, reconcile, and join forces to stop the cultists and retrieve the stone.
Soon after, they discover that Prince Ibram - one of the people who originally sent them on this quest - is actually the avatar of an Abyssal Lord and basically set everything in motion. The Alchemighty defeats Gran Karrefourās incomplete lich, its dragon, as well as Prince Ibram. However, they had successfully opened a portal into the Abyss and demons are pouring through from the Abyssal Planes, including another, minor Abyssal Lord seeking to seize power.
Ultimately, the party succeeds in their quest to stop Gran Karrefourās lichdom and to stop the Abyssal takeover from happening. However, Sian, the partyās warlock, sacrifices their life in the process to allow the party to harness the power of the stones to close the portal without inadvertently releasing the sealed power of the Abyssal Lords within (which would also return each of them to their full strength). The fragments of Gran Karrefourās soul are ousted from the gemstones and promptly eradicated; the stones are then infused with Sianās soul and essence, changing them into new stones, each representing a member of the Alchemighty - the only family Sian had known in their life. Itās with these new stones that the party defeats and banishes the abyssal forces ravaging the city and closes the portal.
In the aftermath of everything, the new āDiamond of Divine Radianceā is sealed away to the Astral Sea, and the remaining members of the Alchemighty - Dae and Mellon - are tasked with returning the reformed stones to their previous keepers or otherwise finding new keepers. Cibark, Aerie, and Colin return to their respective homelands to help rebuild. Valphi and the remaining members of the Fangs of the Fox are recognized for their efforts in helping defend Kaelan from the abyssal attack, and she decides to build her own mercenary company from the ground up.
After traveling with Valphi for some time, Oriphi eventually follows Colin to Duskvale and helps to rebuild the capital. Once efforts are mostly underway, his parents abdicate the throne and his older sister is crowned the new ruler of Duskvale. She encourages her younger brother to follow his own path as heās always wanted to do, as the kingdom will be fine. Colin and Ori leave and begin to travel together.
Roughly eight months after the end of their quest, the Alchemighty reunites in its entirety to celebrate Cibarkās wedding! Everyone lived happily ever after The End.
Updated Personality: Being taken some time after this grand quest ends, Ori is finally a bit more self-assured and confident in herself and her abilities. She has, after all, somehow managed to survive through a lot of truly harrowing battles at this point. And definitely almost died a handful of times, which has definitely given her a bit of a different perspective on having lived a life full of worries. But with all that, a bit more of her playfulness and some stubbornness will come out more, as well, having been lifted from the responsibilities of a world-tipping quest and successfully saving and reconciling with her sister.
Any other updates: At Level 14, Oriphi gained the ability to cast Dream, which is a spell that allows her to shape the dreams of and communicate with others through their dreams. I'm happy to nerf or change this to fit more with what dreamotion/dreamscapes do! Other than that, her abilities with elemental and plant-y magic and healing are pretty much the same, just... more powerful or intense than previously!
Questions/Other: Ori will have taken the Returning Home route, and although she will have been gone for about 8 days, for her 8 months would have passed. But at least she has a fancy outfit, a cool magical staff, and a magical bag of holding (read: hammerspace bag) to show for it.
