Story
Descend into The Lost Temples of Veilreach, where the once‑worshipped Stewards of the Immortal Sun have faded into rumor and ash. The Unspeakable One - incapable of creation, but gifted at corruption - has poisoned mortal hearts with his treacherous lies, turning devotion into doubt and doubt into aversion. Now that the Stewards of the Immortal Sun have turned their gracious faces away from Veilreach, the Devourer of Hearts sits gloating upon his throne as fear, greed, and madness seep through the land like rot.
But hope is a wild beast, so do not despair. The Immortal Sun sings to you in your dreams: "Awaken, child; rise and rejoice." Take your weapon and set forth against the Unspeakable One. For you are the chosen one to banish him from his throne, deep in the depths of despair.
