### Side Quest:

* Find and kill the Demonlord.

Description: A powerful Demonlord is the leader of the Demons in this area. It's very likely that the Demons are searching for the ancient evil as well, in order to consume its power. This cannot be allowed.

## The Battle

Saphira Whisperwind, Aridon the Watcher, Rahandir Drakeskull and Fleshtearer along with a small group of soldiers investigate the area. They travel the path, encountering Demon Legion sentries, a handful of Corrupted beasts and eventually found the Demonlord. The four fought the Demonlord alone, as Charm cannot affect them, but their soldiers do. They killed the Demonlord and his guards and then continued their way.

On the way, they spotted a Ironfist sentry near their path, which Saphira suggested that they can eliminate the Ironfist if they want, but others have no time for that. Aridon should decide what path they take, but they eliminate the sentry to rest on the Fountain of Healing without trouble.

Should they take on the Ironfist, they have to repel 3 large waves of the Ironfist soldiers, then destroy the base, which will take casualties, but they can do it with a minimal. And the path towards Raszal's position is shorter.

Should they take the longer cut, they just encounter Demons, Corrupted Beasts, Sludges and some Forgotten, up to the entrance where Raszal is.

The four fought and defeated Raszal, the latter shocked about hearing Lord Margazar's name.

### True Story

The gameplay still the same, but with adjustments. Galareth the Great replaced Fleshtearer, which was redeployed to the Temple. They also had a choice between destroying the Ironfist base, or race against them to reach the Forgotten leader.

## Aftermath

After slaying Raszal for good, Lord Margazar appeared and reported.

## Note

Should Fleshtearer die here, he will not appear on the final battle.

You can either ignore the Ironfist base, and cut through the swamps loaded with corrupted creatures, Demons and Forgotten, or attack the base. The latter, you must wait for 3 waves of attacks, or go all in and destroy the base.

## Cutscene

Aridon watched the events unravel in his eyes, while Lord Margazar looks on. And Rahandir and Saphira talks in another room about Gardon Bloodclaw.

## True Story

The mission was revamped:

* The mission was renamed Purge of the Pearl.
* The map is expanded a little.
