Kael and Riven emerged from the dark stairwell, relic in hand, dust and smoke rising behind them. The silence of Nhal'Zarun remained buried, but the weight of what they faced still pressed on their shoulders.
Back at the Deadroot Wastes' edge, the cracked earth felt almost welcoming compared to the chaos beneath.
Teleport Back to Veilgrove
They activated their crystal tokens and, with a flash of blue light, vanished—reappearing at their Veilgrove-bound sanctuary, tucked in behind Pathforge headquarters.
Inside, they collapsed into their seats, surrounded by loot crates and quietly pulsing relics.
"Still… stuck at thirty," Kael muttered, flipping open his status screen.
Riven nodded, equally frustrated.
