In The Forest Trail travel east to the Traveler's Camp.
Your journey east has been interrupted, and now you find yourself on a backwood path headed towards a common resting ground for travelers. From there you hope to make your way back to the main road. The other travelers who went on ahead warned that the reclusive and cowardly Skullen are becoming more aggressive as of late. Be wary on your way to the traveler camp.
In the Traveler's Camp explore your surroundings.
You’ve reached the Traveler Camp and now have a chance to rest your feet. You notice a trader and his grole posted up near the campfire along with a stash for safeguarding supplies. At the other side of the camp, you can see other travelers resting here as well.
Explore the Traveler’s Camp before venturing forth.
In the Traveler's Camp travel east to The Southern Plateau.
You’ve taken a moment to rest, and now you’re ready to continue your journey. Your path back to the main road is further ahead.
In The Southern Plateau fight your way past the Osprix soldiers.
Ahead you see a strange sight this far from Solarum, armored Osprix, the avian followers of Rahyeh. Upon seeing you, the Osprix move to strike invoking their god’s name, fight your way past them!
In The Southern Plateau speak with Keeper Balthas.
You’ve slain the Osprix soldiers, but the traveler they were attacking is in bad shape. Even now you can hear shouts in the distance of other Osprix, more will come soon.
Travel from The Southern Plateau to The Ulatri Cliffs and search for Keeper Leena.
The injured Keeper Balthas told you that the Osprix, the eagle-headed servants of Rahyeh, attacked and fled with his daughter who holds a relic of immense importance. His body failing him, Balthas begs you to save his daughter and protect the shard.
In The Ulatri Cliffs fight off the Osprix soldiers.
You’ve pursued the path the Osprix soldiers fled down, whether it be to save the daughter of the man who died before or merely to find a path away from the chaos is only for you to say. Unfortunately, you find that you’ve been herded towards their encampment further up the mountains and now are face to face with their commander, Haruspex Orian. He has summoned a wall of flame and the fury of his soldiers!
In The Ulatri Cliffs defeat Haruspex Orian.
Following the defeat of his soldiers, Haruspex Orian emerges from the flames and advances upon you, intent on disposing of you himself. Defend yourself from Orian's wrath!
In The Ulatri Cliffs speak with Keeper Leena.
You have survived Haruspex Orian's wrath, but your troubles are far from over, you can hear more soldiers amassing in the distance. Speak with Keeper Leena to see if she is injured.
In The Ulatri Cliffs take the Shard.
You have survived Haruspex Orian's wrath, but your troubles are far from over, you can hear more soldiers amassing in the distance. Keeper Leena insists that your only hope is to grasp the shard, a relic shrouded in mystery, and trust in its power.
In The Ulatri Cliffs enter the strange portal.
You have survived Haruspex Orian's wrath, but your troubles are far from over, you can hear more soldiers amassing in the distance. Keeper Leena insists that your only hope is to grasp the shard, a relic shrouded in mystery, and trust in its power. After you grasped the shard a portal opened before you, it seems to be your only path away from danger.
The last thing you recall is the world melting away. The only sensation left came from the shard that Keeper Leena gave you. It softly resonated with your heartbeat, the pulse coming stronger and stronger as the world around you swirled together before you blacked out.
Now you have awoken and found yourself where you were before… but not. Keeper Leena is gone, the grass underneath you and the trees around you appear different, twisted, dying, and surrounded by a foul dark substance. This place is the same but different. Where did the shard take you?
