Tomb of the First Hero

event Events (all zones)

You enter what once was a great hall honoring the fallen. An inscription on the ground reads: "Here lie the souls of warriors great and true, who—" The stone the inscription is written on is broken, leaving the rest unreadable. Shards of faintly glowing crystal adorn the ground. As you proceed, eerie whispers flood your mind; the cries of fallen heroes, either begging to be remembered, or pleading for you to turn back. You feel the surrounding air fill with a peculiar presence, as if thick with so many memories hungry for a mind. A lost soul, who met their demise at the hands of a mad magister hellbent on keeping the truth of this place buried. But what truth...? What do you do?
