Story: Ein von grenzenlosem Ehrgeiz getriebener Drow-Arkanist steigt in eine uralte, versiegelte Beschwörungskammer hinab. Er ist überzeugt, dass er als Erster die verbotenen Geheimnisse des Abyss entschlüsseln und dessen Macht seinem Willen unterwerfen kann. Erst als die Runen sich verändern und die Beschwörung seinem Willen entgleitet, erkennt er die Wahrheit: Er hat den Abyss nie beschworen - Der Abyss hat ihn beschworen. ‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐ Story: A drow arcanist, driven by boundless ambition, descends into an ancient, sealed summoning chamber. He is convinced that he will be the first to decipher the forbidden secrets of the Abyss and bend its power to his will. Only when the runes change and the summoning slips away from his will does he realize the truth: He never summoned the Abyss - The Abyss summoned him. ‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐---‐‐‐ [Voice 1] The elders sealed these chambers... Yet every forbidden page led me here. Usstan has followed every hidden sign... Every forgotten symbol... Every whisper beneath the stone. Tonight... The final seal shall open. [Voice 2] (You have come farther than all the others.) [Voice 1] The circle answers... The ancient runes awaken... I can feel the gate breathing. Power... At last... [Voice 2] (Do not fear the cold.) (It welcomes you.) [Voice 1] The darkness listens... It knows my voice... It knows my name... ...Vel'uss... The barrier grows weaker. [Voice 1] The chamber trembles... The air burns inside my lungs... No... Not pain... Transformation... Yes... More... [Voice 1] I see beyond creation... I see what no living mind has seen... My House will remember this night... Usstan will command what others worship. [Voice 2] (Everything you desire...) [Voice 1] The symbols... Why are they changing? No... I carved them correctly... Why... Why do they move? [Voice 1] No... The ritual obeys me... It must obey... It... It... Why can I hear your voice... inside my own thoughts? [Voice 2] (You opened the way.) (You invited me.) (There is no path back.) [Voice 1] No... No... This cannot... ... Usstan... ... What have I become? [Voice 2] (HHHHAAAAAA...) (HAAAAAA...)
