Transcript[edit]

The Guardian investigates enemy activity: 'Dark Ritual'.

Hive Wizards gather for a ritual at the shrine.

The Guardian defeats the wizards.

Something stirs in the crypt.

Mara Sov:This shrine is defiled by their presence. See that the orb they stole is returned to the mausoleum beneath the cathedral.

The Guardian picks up the relic and returns it to the crypt.

Mara Sov:This mausoleum is a memorial to a Techeun, Melorii, the first Wayfinder to traverse this Ley Line.

The Guardian deposits the relic at Melorii's statue.

A dark power nears. The Apocalyptic blade approaches the Guardian.

Mara Sov:Melorii was brilliant, like a star burning in the blackness of space. A beacon for others; aspirational. But it was her insatiable curiosity that took her life when she ventured into the Black Garden against her wishes... and never returned.

---

The Guardian investigates enemy activity: 'Ley Lines'.

Blights corrupt the harrowed cliffs.

The Guardian destroys one of the them.

Mara Sov:Taken infestations, spreading like a cancer through the Ley Lines. These need to be cleared.

The Guardian clears more blight infestations. They enter into a well.

Mara Sov:The source of this corruption is at hand. Find it and destroy it.

The blighted heart births an abomination in the well.

Mara Sov:These wells once served as springs of Ascendant energy used by our Techeuns to sculpt structures such as this. Now they are barren parodies of their once-noble purpose. One day, perhaps, they will shine again.

---

The Guardian found a corsair's cache in the Ascendant Realm.

Mara Sov:This cache marks a memorial. Long ago, a Techeun fell here. Not one you're searching for — she was much older. One of those who first forded the lines, a cartographer who gave her life to the void. She ventured into the unknown, and we knew the safe path only by how long her light lasted before it gave out. I may tell you her name someday. She was a friend. And now, she is part of the stream. I will not allow Xivu Arath to defile her sacrifice.

Or alternatively

Mara Sov:This cache contains planar telemetry about an attempted breach of the Ascendant Plane from somewhere else. The paracausal can influence this place with thought; tie two ends of our world together with their willpower. Something ruptured this space with the power of its desire alone.

Or alternatively

Mara Sov:Take a moment to orient yourself, Guardian. This cache is placed on a set navigation point — a landmark in the plane. Moving through these realms can be misleading. You desire something so badly that it changes. You hear it calling to you. But it is only a rippling mirage, your desires twisting the energies of the plane. You can trust in those visions only as much as you trust in yourself.
