The dialogue surrounding this quest:
Baroness Draka says: We'll hold the line! Open the door!
Baron Vyraz says: Slay the mortal! Bring me that runeblade!
Baroness Draka says: Raise your sword, champion! For Maldraxxus!
As the player lifts the runeblade, beams of destructive magic begin to shoot out of the Seat of the Primus and onto the advancing enemies.Voice of the Primus says: The foes of the worthy shall be vanquished.
Baron Vyraz says: Fall back!
Baroness Draka says: The Seat of the Primus is ours!
The player advances forward after the door has opened and approaches a stone altar.Voice of the Primus says: I am the Primus. Your presence within my sanctum means a darkness has fallen upon Maldraxxus... and all the realms of Death.
Voice of the Primus says: Ages ago, the Eternal Ones punished our brother Zovaal for his treachery. He was bound within the inescapable Maw, to be forevermore its Jailer.
Voice of the Primus says: Now I fear that Zovaal did not act alone. I suspect he had ancient allies... and will seek to win others to his cause.
Voice of the Primus says: That you are hearing this message means my suspicions proved true. Zovaal has forged his chains into a weapon... and brought about my defeat.
Voice of the Primus says: There is but one hope to save the Shadowlands. The Eternal Ones must stand together once more, before the Jailer escapes the Maw.
Voice of the Primus says: Bring my warning to the Archon, the Winter Queen, and the Sire. They must see to our defenses. Do not let Zovaal reach the sepulcher.
Voice of the Primus says: The Arbiter is the final key. Protect her, or all is lost.

Where this quest fits

- In Death We Are Truly Tested
Vyraz is the one who trapped me within the Maw. He has long been in league with the House of Rituals and the House of Constructs. No doubt he intended to trap you within that hellish place as well. It is time he be brought to justice for his treason. Stand with me, and we will face him as one.
After this quest

Even in his absence, the wisdom of the Primus rings true. This message must have been put here to await one who proved worthy of hearing it. <Draka peers at you.> You came to Maldraxxus to learn why Bastion was invaded. Now you know that there is treachery in our ranks.
