Whispers of the Vir'Kal

A condition imposed by the possession of Vir Phylacteries. Likely related to Difetha's suggestion that the Vir'Bren and Vir'Kal are "the same and not the same," holding on to one of these artifacts seems to integrate the bearer to some degree into the sympathetic connection that the Vir share. During the first hunt for Difetha, Fytheias Faen was carrying the phylacteries of both Kurbacs and Haaskat and was able to hear voices in his head taunting him about his discovery of a new Vir invasion.

We must be extremely cautious in the handling of these phylacteries. As much as it may be possible to glean information through this connection it is certain that the connection goes both ways, and thus anyone holding too many phylacteries becomes a spy for the enemy.
