The dust of the collapse settles behind them, choking the air in the narrow spillway. Kalazan and Brann stand upon a bridge of ancient, translucent glass, suspended high above the roaring subterranean river known as the Weeping Vein.
Unit Captain Brann
The Rotunda is lost, Kalazan. We cannot hold this bridge for long if the mountain intends to shed the rest of the keep.
Kalazan
The glass vibrates, mirroring the deep, hungry tectonic pulses of the mountain.
The Hollow Archivist
You fools! This passage leads only to the Sunken Spire. It is a grave for those who seek to bridge the void!
The Archivist stumbles forward, clutching his scorched scrolls as a jagged crack spiderwebs across the glass surface beneath his feet.
Ahead, the Sunken Spire looms out of the mist, its stone walls glowing with an aggressive, rhythmic violet light that pulses in unison with the Sun-Shattered Blade.

Kalazan
The violet hum is a sickness in the stone, and I have the cure.
Kalazan raises the Sun-Shattered Blade. He chants a low, rattling hex of nullification, weaving the essence of his own authority into the air.
A wave of shimmering, grey energy rolls forward from the blade. It impacts the Spire, and the aggressive violet pulses instantly dim to a soft, lifeless amber.
The Hollow Archivist
The seal... you have actually choked the life from its heart.
Unit Captain Brann
The bridge has stopped shaking, Kalazan. The path is silent.
As the oppressive magic fades, a hidden panel in the Spire's base clicks open, revealing a cache of ancient, gilded armaments resting in the dust.
