A Court of Spirits is an off-screen companion adventure in Pillars of Eternity.
In-game description[ | ]
The pitch:
Southwest of Gilded Vale, travelers have reported a collection of angry spirits gathering near a circle of cracked adra pillars. Those brave enough to venture near the spirits have reported that they appear to be arguing about some long-forgotten legal matters.
Though locals have quickly learned to take a route that avoids the adra pillars entirely, more than a few foreign merchants landing at Road's End have fallen victim to the shades.
The conclusion:
[Companion Name] was prepared to fight a mob of angry spirits in the circle of adra pillars but quickly discovered that the shades simply wanted resolution to a number of old disputes. Surprisingly cognizant for spirits, the shades presented their cases over several long hours. [Companion Name] acted as the group's arbiter, handing down decisions and putting the spirits to rest.
After the last pair of bickering shades faded into the Beyond, [Companion Name] discovered the remains of previous trespassers, including a fine belt of meditative chimes on the belt of an unfortunate monk.
