Eshek is a male Chultan human acolyte of Savras who serves as an unwitting messenger in Port Nyanzaru. He approaches the party in the street and delivers a cryptic message about seeking “the wise guardian of Orolunga, east of Mbala,” claiming this guardian can direct them to what they seek. Immediately after delivering this prophecy, Eshek collapses unconscious.
When he awakens moments later, Eshek has no memory of the preceding 12 hours beyond an overwhelming compulsion to find people matching the party’s descriptions. He is as confused by the experience as the adventurers, suggesting he served as an involuntary vessel for Savras’s divine guidance.
Despite his amnesia, Eshek is helpful and well-meaning. He possesses knowledge of Chult’s geography, particularly the location of Mbala, having spoken with porters who have traveled to Camp Vengeance. He offers whatever assistance he can provide to the party following his prophetic episode.
Relationship to Other Entities: As an acolyte of Savras (god of divination and foresight), Eshek is connected to the Temple of Savras in Port Nyanzaru. His prophetic message directs the party toward Orolunga and ultimately to Saja N’baza, the guardian naga who can provide guidance on locating the source of the death curse.
Game Mechanics: Eshek uses the acolyte stat block and has a Neutral Good alignment.
