1.6.1 - Into the dark

You went down after Ygritte's captors and found a name the elves had wiped out of their own royal line.

The Pit took you down into the bones of the catacombs after the Blood Elves and their stolen people. A drained well stood at the centre of the first chamber, its lever waiting inside the door. Deeper in, you found the Speaker already there, unhurried, before a great mural of the Thrandurassil family tree, the royal line of the elves laid out in stone and gold.

Something on it had been hidden. Under Queen Aduni's line, where a name should sit beside the High King Caerdan, the stone had been smoothed over with magic. You stripped the concealment away, and there she was: Hannah, daughter of Aduni, sister to the king, struck from her own family's memory. The Speaker watched as though he had always known the gap was there. The girl from the portal, Heimdall's lost daughter, had been royalty too, and someone had gone to great trouble to erase her.

Remember For Next Time

• Hannah's blood: the mural names her a daughter of Queen Aduni and sister to High King Caerdan, deliberately erased from the royal line by magic.
• The Speaker is here: down in the catacombs ahead of you, seeming to know more than he says.
• Deeper still: the chamber opens onward into the dark, Ygritte's captors somewhere ahead.

Where We Are

Deep in the catacombs at the Thrandurassil mural, Hannah's erased name uncovered, the Speaker watching and the captors still ahead.
