Last we left off our troop had delved deep within the Luzal Vaults until they reached the monastery atop the Firmament's Harrow. Where they had uncovered Velk (who had given in to divine ideas of destiny before being corrupted by a sourceless shadow seemingly erupting from a statue of one of the Veiled Gods). You battled the swollen, monstrous, feral form of Velk before casting him from the edge of the cliff face to plummet to his death within the shadow below. There you inspected the surrounding ruins of the ourter aspects of this monastery. Uncovered some useful relics of the Old World, and opened a sealed reliquary box at the base of the statue. Upon which a substance was inhaled by young Eryn who was helping unlock this reliquary. Her cough progressed into a fever, and (as opposed to pressng on into the monastery) you chose to bring her back to seek help and recovery in Desperloch.
There you took her to the local healer who treated her infection. You went and met an ally of Snyx's who was able to give a little bit of context and information for the skull that was found within the reliquary (before upsetting him). Upon your return you were given information from Truvo the Hedge (the local herbalist healer) that this was mroe than just a simple infection. Some of the Umbra shadow seems to grow within Eryn. When you turned to go and see if she was okay, she was gone, and the core of Desperloch village was filled with dark smoke.
The five of you pushed into the core and found the Sacred Pyre gone. Quenched with the blood of nearby townsfolk, and the Pyrekeepers that stood watch. It's at this moment that you see Eryn, little teenage Eryn standing there, turning back over her shoulder towards you and smiling.
