One thing about this whole situation disturbs me above all else: the ease with which the Balaur attacked.

Our spells should have hidden Rentus from them indefinitely.

Yet, they found it and also bypassed several layers of defenses, striking at our nerve centers directly.

Player: "Then you had a security breach."

Exactly my conclusion. As much as I hate it, someone within Rentus must have been working with the Balaur.

I'll been keeping an eye on my fellow refugees.

And you can enter Rentus Base and find out what's happening.

Player: Accept.

Ariana made the final contact from inside Rentus.

She should still be alive in there, Siel willing.

She's a top lieutenant under Rentus's warden, Merops. She should know what's happening.

Player: "If she's alive, I'll find her."

More dire than you were probably led to believe.

Warden Merops, head of Rentus Outpost...he was the one who betrayed us to the Balaur.

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