The atmosphere in Darkroot Basin is sodden with decay, a palpable film of corruption glossing every rock and root. A knight stands encased in silent agony, his armor of silver and blue stained, one arm mangled and limp. Black, tar-like pools seep from his presence. The hood turns slowly, fixing on you. His voice is a rasp of despair. "I beg of you... the spread of the Abyss... it must be stopped."
