The streets of Hartholm still smolder in the wake of chaos. What began as a quiet infiltration erupted into riot and bloodshed. The party’s search for truth ended in fire, death, and revelation. Mayor Marek Harthorn, once the Black Wolf Company’s traitor, lies slain—cut down not by your blades, but by the hand of a mysterious Infernis traveler whose white hair and burning eyes marked something far darker.

Before the end, one of the Ashen Fang mercenaries turned against Marek to help you, only to meet his end at the hands of the Nameless Choir. His dying words, spoken through eyes glowing a sickly green, still echo in your minds:

“You… will fail.”

Now, the dust has settled, but the path ahead only grows more uncertain. You carry a locked journal, stolen from Marek’s halls.

With Hartholm behind you, your course turns toward the Black Wolf Company’s Ashfang Hall. But first: Kubo wishes to visit Ferrix while Artemis wishes to visit Alnair.
