WEB OF LIFE

Transcript:
Von List: Krafft and his troublemakers have a new ally. Tell me, Kortifex, what exactly are we up against?
Kortifex: Her name is Vercanna. Vercanna the Last.
Von List: Not a very flattering title.
Kortifex: She is the last of her clan. I saw to that.
Von List: And what did her clan do to deserve that fate?
Kortifex: They told me to stop my armies from razing their precious Wilds. No one tells me what to do.
Von List: And these Dark Aether “clans”? Is this why you all look so different?
Kortifex: Indeed. Some, like Inviktor’s, formed the backbone of my armies. Some, like Bellekar’s, focused on studies and rune magic.
Kortifex: Vercanna’s people were hermits. They dwelt in the Wilds, communing with their so-called Web of Life.
Von List: And when they asked you to honor their home, they discovered you are not... a nature-lover.
Von List: So why is this Vercanna still alive? Why did you not finish the job?
Kortifex: At the time, we did not understand how their cursed life-web worked. How it linked them together.
Kortifex: When one died, their life-energy passed to the others. The power of an entire clan now resides in Vercanna.
Kortifex: She may be impossible to kill.
Von List: Well if there is a way, we damn well better find it.
