The whale graveyard

Open on wiki ↗
event  Huge Bones ·  Events (all zones)
This place is filled with the bones of whales and other gargantuan creatures. It seems to be where the largest inhabitants of the sea come for their final rest. However, that's not the most unsettling aspect of this place. What sends shivers down your spine is the fact that their voices still echo in this chamber. If you close your eyes, it's as if you can almost see the whales. Perhaps it's caused by some form of magic. It might be worth investigating further. Would you like to investigate it?

★ XP 16
You decide to ignore the weird noises and eerie feeling of this place and focus your attention on the wounded whale that lies in the cave. It is the whale that the whalers you defeated were chasing. It is clear that the animal is not going to leave this place alive, and it seems that when it felt its end near, it came here to die in peace. That's something you can help the whale with, so with a precise strike, you finish it. Once the whale is dead, you continue your journey without a second thought to the futility of this nonsensical violence against such a majestic creature, but it is okay. You are the one who will have to live with it. You get: XP 16 Heroes get: Merciless Boon
