The Hollow Archivist
The shard, Kalazan. Do you not feel how it hungers for the blade? It sings to the iron in your hand.
The Hollow Archivist
If I can only nudge him to shatter the seal completely, the secrets of the First Kings will be mine to harvest.
Kalazan
The void energy within the shard is erratic and pulses with a rhythm that matches the masonry's own vibration.
Unit Captain Brann
Commander, do not trust his madness. The Rotunda is already failing, and the Archivist is pushing you toward a precipice.
The Hollow Archivist crawls forward on his knees, his spindly fingers itching toward the jagged piece of solidified void. Brann levels his spear, his jaw set in a grim line of warning.
Kalazan watches as the Archivist’s shadow stretches unnaturally across the floor, merging with the ripples of the fused bronze gate.

Kalazan
Enough of this shadow work. Let the light take hold.
Kalazan chants a low, resonant incantation, his voice vibrating through the cold stone of the Rotunda. A golden sigil erupts from his palm, washing over the cowering Archivist.
The Hollow Archivist
The voices, the hollow whispers... they are fading. Silence. It is finally quiet.
The Hollow Archivist
I... I see it now. The corruption, it was a veil over my own eyes. My apologies, Commander.
The void shard loses its jagged, aggressive luster, crumbling into harmless dust under the weight of the cleansing spell. The dark ripples on the gate shudder and die.
Unit Captain Brann
The gate is unsealed, Commander. But the energy has shifted. It is not just an armory behind there anymore.
