Description

There is some peculiar activity in Shadow Rise to the northeast. Supposedly it is cursed! The Shadowguard usually have a heavy presence there, but I have word that they are abandoning the site. I want to find out the truth of why they'd leave. Would you accompany me?

    I reached out to examine a console that had dark energy moving through it, but something screamed in my face. It was so unexpected. It didn't feel like an alarm, more like something... vicious. Angry. Hungry. It almost felt like it wanted to grab me. Terrifying. And interesting!
