Remnants of the Sanctum Vol 3
Contents
This place is ravaged and wild. Vines have burst from the earth, strangling the environment. Light seems to fade within this place, leaving it in an eternal twilight haze. I stepped into the darkened halls, weapons held tight, eyes scanning the dim for threats. It took mere moments to begin to spot them. Swollen spiders skittered along the walls. Walking corpses, flowers blooming from their flesh, roamed the shadows, their soft moaning adding a horrible chorus to the thin air. I let out a solitary sigh,then waded into battle, cutting down creatures with impunity. As Tlaxan as they may look, they were Tlaxan no more.
Soon I came to the village of Ta'Ferna itself. I wanted to feel familiar with this place, but so much had changed in the month I had last been here. The village I knew was still there, but it felt changed. Choked by growth and silent. High above the lake was an island, held aloft by bulging vines, the bottom a mess of roots and crumbling earth. The entire sanctum was choked by this sudden spawning of nature left in Kaul's wake. The village feels oddly pristine though, as if preserved by something unseen. It disturbed me. I left it behind for now. I do not wish to see more corpses right now, walking or not. I will set out for the island in the sky. Something important calls me there.
