Voodoo Priest Ulysse of the Desert

“The sands are alive with whispers; I am merely their voice.”

In the heart of the Sunken Sands, where the wind carves shifting ruins from ancient empires, there walks a figure both feared and revered: Ulysse, the Voodoo Priest. His legend begins in the hidden oasis of Ba’hal Marr, a place steeped in mystery where the veil between the living and the dead is as thin as a grain of sand. Born during an eclipse, Ulysse was said to be marked by the spirits themselves, a child destined to commune with forces beyond mortal understanding.

The Dustwalkers, nomads who safeguarded the oasis, raised Ulysse and taught him the old ways—how to listen to the desert's voice, to summon the phantoms that danced in the heatwaves, and to bargain with spirits that hungered for mortal souls. But Ulysse’s ambition outgrew their teachings. The spirits spoke of a buried power, an ancient shrine hidden beneath the dunes where forgotten gods once walked. Driven by visions, he left the safety of his tribe and ventured alone into the endless sands.

He found the Shrine of Thirteen Shadows, a ruin cloaked in perpetual twilight, guarded by silent sentinels of bone and glass. Deep within, Ulysse unearthed the Veilstone Staff, a relic pulsating with malevolent energy. Bound within it were thirteen spirits, each more ancient and wrathful than the last. The spirits whispered their power to Ulysse, offering him dominion over life and death. Yet their gifts came with a price—chains of obligation that grew heavier with each invocation.

Now, Ulysse roams the desert, a living legend. Some seek him out, desperate for his help: a loved one resurrected, a curse lifted, a spirit banished. Others fear him, whispering tales of his cruel bargains and the way the wind howls mournfully in his wake. Ulysse himself sees his path as neither good nor evil but necessary. The spirits of the Veil demand balance, and he, their chosen vessel, must uphold it.

But the sands have secrets even Ulysse does not know, and the spirits within the Veilstone grow restless. Each step he takes into the desert brings him closer to a reckoning—one that may shatter the fragile boundary between the living and the dead forever.

The question remains: when the time comes, will Ulysse stand as a savior or a destroyer?
