:''"Isn't she beautiful? Where has she been all my life?  We'll be together. Forever."
:You're being manipulated, Merion. It's some kind of spirit.
:No! She's the love of my life. Nothing you can say will change that. I just wish this cave wasn't so dangerous. The poor thing gets scared around these strange mushrooms."
:Strange mushrooms?
:"Yes. I'm an alchemist. Before I met this fine lady, I was worried about magical manipulation. For some reason. Hmm. Anyway, I was going to collect spores, create a potion to guard against ….  Did I mention we're to be married?"
:Concentrate, Merion. How were you going to make the potion?

:What?
:"We couldn't budge it. Nothing we tried worked. All around it was this feeling, a chill running down our spines. It was his presence, from when he reaped the souls of Gil-Var-Delle all those years ago. It's strengthening the Dark Anchor, somehow."
:So how do we destroy the Anchor?
:"There are evil devices planted in the earth. The Worm Cultists call them Fangs of Chaos. They seem to be channeling the residual magic from Molag Bal's presence into the Anchor. Arys tried to destroy one, but it killed him the instant he hit it."
:How can we destroy them then?
:"I don't know! If mortal weapons are useless, if even the most devastating magic fails, what hope do mere mortals have against the Prince of Schemes?"''

:High Ordinator Danys: ''"Don't worry, Meva. I'll see you safely away from this place."
