Rift Scout Kael
Greeting
"I'm Kael, rift scout. I've been mapping this place since it opened. It's not safe, but nothing is anymore. Need work? I've got plenty."
Dialogue Topics
The Descent
The Corruptor's true form lies in the Heart of the Void. Six layers of reality stand between here and there. Each layer must be cleared before the next opens.
The Corruptor
The Corruptor is not a being. It is the antithesis of creation - the primordial darkness that resisted the gods' shaping of reality. It cannot be killed by normal means. Only the Voidheart Crystal can unmake it.
The Wound in the Sky
The rift opened when the Corruptor's avatar was destroyed. It's a wound in reality -- not a portal, but a tear. The sky above the Citadel bleeds void-light. I've been mapping the edges, and it's growing. Every day, another meter. If it reaches the Citadel... there won't be a Citadel.
Corrupted Celestials
The celestials who fell during the Celestial War -- they're here. In the rift. Azrakael corrupted them, and the rift sustains them. They're not alive, not dead -- they're void-constructs wearing celestial forms. They remember who they were. That makes them dangerous.
The Abyssal Maw
At the center of the rift is the Abyssal Maw -- a living mouth in reality. It's the source of the corruption here. It breathes void. When it exhales, the rift expands. When it inhales, everything nearby is pulled in. Destroy it, and the rift stabilizes. Maybe.
