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

Although Rentus is in Tiamaranta, our cloaking spells should have kept it hidden from them indefinitely.

They not only found us, they bypassed several layers of defenses to strike directly at our nerve centers.

Player: "That sounds suspicious."

I think so too. As much as I hate to contemplate it, someone within Rentus must have been working with the Balaur. I've been keeping an eye on my fellow refugees.

In the meantime, we have no idea what's going on in Rentus.

We need you to enter Rentus Base and find out what's happening.

Player: Accept.

Our last contact from Rentus came from Ariana.

She's the only one whom we're certain should still be alive in there, Siel willing.

She's a top lieutenant, serving under Merops before the Balaur invaded. She should know what's happening.

Player: "I'll find her."

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 Outpost--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?!
