Parvati

Parvati is a Hindu goddess.

According to legend, Parvati cursed an Indian settlement when a collection golden statues that were considered sacred to her were stolen from the village temple due to the incompetence of one its guards.

As punishment, Parvati removed the entire village from humanity, putting it out of phase with the rest of the earth so that the settlement could only be accessed within an hour of midnight on a new moon or during a total solar eclipse. On one of these occassions, a group of adventurers found the village and were tasked by the spirit its former high priest to find Lakiri in order to recover the golden statues and lift Parvati's curse.
