Adventure Guide Entry
The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Ionar encounter in Halls of Lightning.
Loken does not rely on his iron minions as his personal defenders. The fallen keeper relies upon lightning itself. Ionar and its cohorts were given sanctuary within the Halls of Lightning in exchange for their unquestioning loyalty and willingness to slaughter any who seek to confront their new master.
