Lore Piece #9: The Portal - The Last Stand at Darkwood
Following the story choices made in Lore Piece #8.1: The Monastery and #8.2: Treasure Hunt, we now arrive at the climactic mission that ties everything together. The Bastion, the proud and powerful stronghold of Darkwood, has fallen to the relentless hordes of the Undead. Only by retaking this fortress can we uncover the reason behind these monstrous attacks and face the infernal threat that lies ahead.
Mission Briefing – The Portal
The Bastion was once the crown jewel of Darkwood’s defenses, a place of unmatched strength and protection. But even its walls have been torn down, overwhelmed by the relentless advance of the Undead, led by the fiery Demon Lord Zepar. This terrifying demon has brought flames and destruction in his wake, laying siege to all in his path. Now, there’s only one option: reclaim the Bastion and put an end to the invasion.
In Lore Piece #9, readers will see how Aglovan's earlier choices, whether defending the Monastery or gathering resources from the Treasure Hunt, influence their resources and allies in this pivotal mission. With the fate of Darkwood at stake, every choice made so far will echo in the battle to come.
