Ghostly Hero

The Ghostly Hero, Turai Ossa, is a former champion of the Kingdom of Elona. (He boasts that at the Battle of Jahai, he single-handedly defeated Palawa Joko, the scourge of Vabbi.) He was the leader who brought the Elonians to the Crystal Desert, mistakenly believing they were the fulfillment of the Flameseeker Prophecies.

Like the player, he was one of the Chosen, but he died before completing Ascension.


 * In The Amnoon Oasis, he says he died along with the rest of his people while building a temple to the Old Gods. (One assumes this is the Temple of Ascension in the Dunes of Despair mission, where a usurper now occupies the Throne of Pellentia.)


 * However, in Elona Reach he says the Elonians died there while trying (but failing) to assemble the Vision Crystal.

For centuries he has waited in the desert for the fulfillment of the Flameseeker Prophecies to help him gain access to the Mists and pass into The Hall of Heroes. By guiding the Chosen through the trials of Ascension, he believes that when the way is opened to them, he too will gain access to the Hall of Heroes.

To this end, the Ghostly Hero can be found at The Amnoon Oasis, Elona Reach, Thirsty River, and Dunes of Despair to offer details for players on how to achieve their Ascension.

The Ghostly Hero also joins players as a party ally in the following missions: Elona Reach, Thirsty River and Dunes of Despair.

In PvP games in the Tomb of the Primeval Kings tournament the Ghostly Hero will be an ally for your party and one of your objectives is to defend him. (Indicating that he has indeed made it into the Rift, thanks to the player's Ascension -- since Ascension is the only way for a PvE character to reach the Tombs.)
