Legend

this unusual, box-shaped device was believed to have been created by the ancient Rakatan people. Outwardly, it resembled a cargo crate. However, when improperly opened, the mind prison took control of the opener's mind and drew them inside. To the unwitting victim, the inside of the box resembled a featureless, white room lined with pillars. Within the room is a Rakatan individual who challenges the victim to answer a series of riddles. The Rakatan himself claimed to have been a former leader who started a civil war and was imprisoned for his crimes. Although his body was long-dead, his mind was trapped in the room, and the only way he could get out was to take over another being's body. Thus, if the victim failed to answer his questions correctly, the Rakatan took control of their body and could attempt an escape.
