Desperate Priestesses

Baymu held firm. General Han tried asking, pleading, and even ordering her to evacuate the Hermitage. She shook her head as she lit the ceremonial candles- she couldn't leave as long as a soul needed saving.

She traced the minor nicks and scars on Han's face as she studied his desperate eyes. Baymu knew how he longed to be with her, and how he wouldn't be able to leave her behind. He never said the words, but she knew that he loved her.

Part of her wished she could abandon her duties and spend the rest of her Earthen days with him. Perhaps, she thought with a mournful smile, the next life would be kinder to their union than this one.

Dialogue
1. Speak with Chun Gwol OR Hongil
 * Hongil
 * "I heard you were headed to North Tomun Range. The Cerulean Order and Crimson Legion have been locked in battle there. Sansu says he wants you to join us. With your might at our side, we can finally crush the hypocrites and liars of the Cerulean Order once and for all!"
 * I will join you.

2. Speak with Baymu at the Earthseer Hermitage
 * "If you've come to tell me to hide, I'm afraid you're wasting your time. I've made my decision."

3. Speak with General Han
 * "Baymu refuses to leave the body. She says that if she does, this person's soul will be imprisoned for all of eternity. Do me this favor and assist Baymu, will you? (We don't have time to entertain this...) Once Baymu has helped their soul move on, we can leave this cursed place. Please speak to her after it's been done. (The sooner we can wrap this up, the better.)"

4. Speak with Baymu
 * "If you'll help me free this poor man's soul, I'll go with you."
 * What happened?
 * "The body is surrounded by evil energies and Dark Chi. This could have only been done by someone who has been twisted by dark forces. (Whatever or whoever did this is not of this realm.) When we die, our souls are drawn to the Spirit Realm. However, we cannot cross over if our souls are bound to our bodies by Dark Chi. Without the power of the Spirit Realm to break the corruption's hold, the spirit cannot cross over. But I think there's a way to cleanse this body. There's an item of great power sealed away somewhere inside The Underroot. If you can find the Spirit Realm Gatekeeper and bring me its heart, I can cleanse this body and free its spirit. You will have to defeat the Thunderheads which reside in the Underroot. The Gatekeeper will appear once you've placed the drums on the Gate Stones.

5. Place the Thunderhead Drums on the five Gate Stones to summon the Gatekeeper. Defeat the Gatekeeper and take its heart.

6. Return to Baymu
 * "Take the heart to the corpse. Only then will the Dark Chi be driven away and the spirit released."

7. Free the soul of the Corrupted Corpse

8. Speak with Baymu
 * "Thank you. May I ask a favor of you before returning to the village? One of my students, Jihei, is to the north. Please tell her to return to the village."
