I am Maharaja Apharada, Rakshasa of high status from the courts of Akchazzar. The eternity that is my existence has only recently brought me to this most curious and intriguing Sigil, where i have lingered greatly in between the occasional summoning that takes me to this or that backwater prime. My nature as a Rakshasa as well as my personal philosophies have led me, not only to align myself with the Society of Sensation, but to write this proposal you will find most interesting.
I am aware there is little practical knowledge about my kind outside of few select circles in the multiverse (I have been mistaken for a Baatezu and other categories of devil more than once in my time here, which is very telling) i seek to remedy that, giving an exposition to those interested in the Civic Festhall, as well as a demonstration to one of the secret Rakshasa rituals, which i also propose be recorded for posterity. The ritual in question is called Goshta, a branding of mortals that marks a prospecting slave in body and soul forevermore, performed after manipulating their entire lives into wickedness. A rough translation into the common language would be Ultimate Despair.
This very significant ritual has never before been witnessed or documented by non Rakshasas, anywhere in the cosmos. I believe the Society of Sensation would benefit from its disclosure, and possible further knowledge and experiences to impart in similar scholastic demonstration as what i propose.
I eagerly await your reply.
Maharaja Apharada
