"Have you ever felt an inexplicable hatred? A hatred that was born without any sense or reason?"
"What would you do if I told you that this hatred was false? Instilled by a being that only feeds on the worst feelings in existence?"
"Would you break this cycle of hatred or would you just let yourself be ruled by it?"

Now, with no other option, he will have to venture towards the ash-earth where he can take refuge behind the doors of Salusbreath, a floating city that fights against the regime of Damnatus.
