The Martyrs' Battle

Hold on a second, let me get a good look at you. Hm... There's plenty of blood on your hands, but I don't see darkness in your heart. That means you will be able to forge an even stronger bond with your patron.

The Twelve Great Martyrs had to fight the darkness long, long ago when the Great Cataclysm occurred. Yes, that's right - darkness! Let those egghead scientists go on and on about the Astral not being evil! But I know the truth... What else could bring destruction and death? What else can enter weak minds and corrupt them? darkness, I tell you, darkness!

You'll soon have the opportunity to see for yourself. You'll have to, if you want to pass the next ritual. There are plenty of demons and their accomplices here in Eljune. And many of them should have remnants of this dark Astral energy clinging to them!

Collect twenty such clumps and bring them to me. Then I shall know that you understand what we're up against. And then you shall be ready to strengthen the bond with your patron.
