The Hollow Archivist
The blade sings to the mountain peaks. It is a tuning fork, Kalazan. Something is stirring in the high crags, descending with hungry intent.
Kalazan
The stone ceiling vibrates with a rhythm that matches the blade's pulse.
Unit Captain Brann
Commander, the Rotunda is no longer secure. We must fall back to the surface or brace this chamber for an assault. Your command.
Kalazan watches as dust rains from the ceiling, his grip tightening around the Sun-Shattered Blade as the ambient hum intensifies.
The Hollow Archivist
Do not wait for it to arrive. You must choose. Anchor this place or abandon the rotunda to the sky-born nightmare.
The air in the Rotunda grows thin and frigid as a low, screeching roar echoes from the mountain peak, growing louder with every passing second.

Kalazan
The resonance in the blade is poison, clinging to my spirit like oil.
Kalazan closes his eyes, channeling his legendary grasp of the arcane through his own form. A ripple of violet light pulses outward from his chest, shattering the unseen threads of the hex that tethered the weapon's curse to his soul.
The Hollow Archivist
The hum... it falters! You have severed the binding, Minotaur.
As the hex dissolves, a hidden sigil carved into the pommel of the Sun-Shattered Blade flares to life, revealing a map of the surrounding mountain peaks projected in ghostly light upon the ceiling.
Unit Captain Brann
Commander, look! The path to the surface is illuminated, but the mountain above us is cracking!
A massive slab of stone detaches from the vaulted ceiling and plunges downward, missing Kalazan by a heartbeat as the screech from above tears through the very air.
