The Vasharti Legion struck Rentus without warning, and we fell quickly. Too quickly.

Our cloaking spells should have kept us hidden, but they not only found us, they also struck directly at our nerve centers. As much as I hate to contemplate it, someone within Rentus must have been working with the Balaur.

I'll keep an eye on my fellow refugees if you'll find out what's happening in Rentus Base.

Our last contact came from Ariana, a top lieutenant serving under Merops before the Balaur invaded. Siel willing, she's still alive.

Player: Accept.

Most likely much more dire than you were led to believe. You see, I know how the Balaur got past our defenses.

Warden Merops, head of Rentus Base--he betrayed us to the Balaur.

He opened an Abyss Gate, and the Balaur just marched right in. Oh, Siel, why? Why did he do that?!
