Persephone is a goddess of mercy, and she will often bestow a boon on you if you accomplish your objectives without being needlessly destructive. Her spells tend to be defensive in nature; her highest-level spells, for example, are persuasive (charm) and disruptive (meanstalks), rather than devastating, like the high-level spells of the other gods. She has no less than three different healing spells, perhaps the best indication of her beneficial nature. Persephone Mission 1 Mission Title: Pellanon Objective: At least one peasant must survive Mission Attributes: +2 to Persephone, +1 to Charnel (optional), -1 to James, -1 to Pyro, -1 to Stratos New Units: Druid, ranger, shrike New Spells: Wrath
Construct a manalith on the nearby mana fountain. Use your pair of souls to summon two manahoars and put them in phalanx formation to guard you. Group the fighting units by your side and walk down the valley to the next mana fountain. As you approach the gnome near the fountain, a cutscene will show the gnome joining your side. Attack the locusts near the fountain, build a manalith on it, and convert the nearby souls. Wait for your sac-doctors to sacrifice the souls on your altar and summon more creatures into your army. A nearby village contains more peasants, which are under duress by scythes. Save them and convert the souls of the enemies. Build another manalith on the fountain here and then continue up the valley road to the north. A pair of dueling gnomes will join you along the way. To the northeast of the next ruined village, you will find Thestor and company near a windmill. Defeat his entourage, and the battle is yours. If you pause the game before the battle, target Thestor with all your troops, and kill him, Charnel will offer you a boon. However, if you kill Thestor, he will not join you in future Persephone missions.
