2 | Find the Ziggurat Only one seat of Vaal civilisation remains unlooted: the Sunken City of Utzaal. Explore the Sandswept Marsh in search of its most prominent Ziggurat. Area: Ziggurat EncampmentNPC: Servi The Lake: The Vaal built massive waterways to turn swamp into richer lands. But when them betrayed nature and cracked the world, nature did what she do best and took back the earth. Sad story, I guess, but too long ago to matter now. Servi Jungle Ruins: The jungle ruins are full of deadly creatures, you know. Quadrillas can tear a man apart in seconds - but at least you can hear them comin'. The real danger? The apes that drop down from above. Life is plenty here, thrivin' for generations, but death always comes for the careless. |

5 | Talk to the Hooded One The Sunken City of Utzaal appears to live up to its name. Ask the Hooded One about potentially lowering the water to reveal the city. Area: Ziggurat EncampmentNPC: 阿尔瓦 The Jungle: Something tells me you're the exploring type - we've got that in common. But some places even I steer clear of... I rather enjoy being alive, you see. Still, if you're feeling adventurous, there's fortunes to be made out there in the wilds. I'm especially interested in all things related to the Vaal, for academic reasons of course... but a bit of treasure never goes amiss.兜帽密师 介绍: Somewhere in this region, there were sophisticated canals and waterways. We might be able to use them to drain this lake.
We must hope that the mechanisms are still functioning, despite their age. It is the only way to reverse the drowning of this once thriving city... the first step in our search for the secret knowledge of the Vaal.Oswald Kingsmarch: Ah, Kingsmarch, so called by the Kalguurans. They're newcomers to Wraeclast, about twenty years now. They're traders by nature. In fact, they've partially funded this very expedition. For some reason, they're very interested in Vaal artefacts. We ship most of what we find back to Kingsmarch, and they pay handsomely for it.Oswald Treasure Hunters: I log everything here, so I can catalogue the thousands of ways to die the jungle offers. If you can, be sure to write some sort of final entry detailing how you die. A death log won't benefit you, of course, but it will certainly benefit me. I don't mean to be overly fatalistic, but the amateurs coming from Kingsmarch are accomplishing nothing but feeding the Chimerals. The most I can do, as Quartermaster, is ensure they're equipped for exploration. That's where the real profit in treasure hunting is, you see. I don't go out there if I can help it. I'm the unluckiest man alive. Yet, I'm the wealthiest in this camp. You have to be good when you're trading with the Kalguurans, or they'll fleece you.Oswald Ziggurat Encampment: The ziggurat beneath us was once the Temple of the Sun God, one of the oldest built in the city of Utzaal's religious district. It was in active use for at least a thousand years, but when the Vaal Cataclysm struck, the city flooded, presumably killing everyone inside. Good thing for us, because this lake is the only reason it hasn't been ransacked by other treasure hunters already. One man's mass death is... another man's treasure, I suppose.阿尔瓦 介绍: Hello there, I'm Alva Valai. Sorry about Oswald... He can be a bit... Rough with newcomers. But he's really not a bad sort. In any case, we can always use another pair of hands around here. Welcome!兜帽密师 介绍: Somewhere in this region, there were sophisticated canals and waterways.

6 | Search for The Matlan Waterways Somewhere in the region are canals that could potentially be used to lower the water and reveal the city. Find The Matlan Waterways. Area: Jungle RuinsNPC: Servi Door in the Jungle: Strange dreams, my friend. Strange dreams. Chaos doesn't bother me so much, but... we keep far away from that place, ya hear?Servi Infested Barrens: You might think it no big deal, the hive broods livin' round there. But let me tell you, them no ordinary pests. Them are warriors - armies of crawlin' fiends. Them hide under the ground, waitin' to ambush the unwary. If you see hives or nests, keep well clear.Servi The Venom Crypts: There's danger in them Venom Crypts. Long time ago, they were a burial ground for the Vaal, but now snakes make homes in the ribs of the dead. In there, you see corpses walkin', made slaves by the snakes inside of them... a sight to haunt your dreams, it's true. Servi The Orok Tribe: We been clashin' with the Orok tribe for generations. But their real fight is with the Azak, and them are losin'. The Orok worship the Three-Headed Snake - them poison the jungle, poison themselves, poison us too. Their shaman? Only seen her twice - she move like a panther in the dark. The coward. Evil in the shadows, my friend. Evil in the shadows. If you find the source of their wickedness, you let me know. I must see it for myself to make an antidote. |

Search it for a control mechanism. Vaal technology, at least in that era, was based on engraved stonework and latent systems of channeled energy. It should be operational, even after all this time... drain the city, and let us see what ancient secrets Utzaal has kept protected for us.Servi The Azak Bog: The Azak, them are true monsters. Not cannibals, no, but them will not hesitate to feed you to their war beasts. The Azak and the Orok tribes been fightin' almost as long as the Vaal been gone. But the Azak are beyond cruel. Their queen-witch, Ignagduk, she takes a child every blood moon night... for what, I won't say. If you cross into their territory, only death awaits you there.Servi The Wetlands: The Wetlands are breeding grounds for the jungle's most vicious creatures. Pretty, it's true, with colours like sunshine in rain... but deadly all the same. Plenty a fool treasure hunter head there, but never return - least not alive. Watch out for the flowers that move without a breeze. Them are serpents, hidin' in the jungle, spittin' poison. A massive flyin' beast hunts that place. Some say it got the head of a lion, others say it looks like a Gorebeast. Some talk 'bout a tail like a Maraketh scorpion. But the truth? It doesn't matter. None from my tribe have set foot there in forty-three seasons.兜帽密师 Lowering the Water: You have found the Waterways? Search it for a control mechanism.

Area: Ziggurat EncampmentNPC: 阿尔瓦 Soul Cores: Death gems, blood crystals... Or more colloquially 'Soul Cores'. They were made by sacrificing living people and capturing their energies inside a crystal lattice. Some think the victims are still trapped inside, existing in eternal agony until someone drains the core's energy completely. There's no way to know that for certain, of course, but it's rather chilling to think about...Servi The Search: Ah, so you after blood crystals - the thing Alva call Soul Cores. I knew you were going to be trouble! Out there in the dark, there's an ancient ruin - very old indeed. My tribe has spoke of it for generations. We seen strange creatures there - made of stone, unnatural, with unblinkin' eyes. That place? It is forsaken. I would warn you not to go there.

Area: Ziggurat EncampmentNPC: 兜帽密师 Lowering the Water: The members of this expedition seem to believe the Ziggurat beneath our feet holds an ancient device that was intended to be used against the Cataclysm that destroyed the Vaal.
The source of that Cataclysm was the previous Beast... which means the device below may be exactly what we need to stop the new one. Find your way into the Ziggurat, and let us see what the greatest minds of the Vaal Empire created.
If they didn't manage to complete it in time, maybe we can finish their work...Oswald The Drowned City: You drained the entire lake? I was going to ship in some Kalguuran explosives, but that's one way to get into these temples, I suppose. Oh. Alva's found something. She's waiting for you at the base of these stairs. I'd join you, but I'm not sure how much I trust two-thousand-year-old waterways to keep the city dry. You enjoy yourself.Servi The Drained Lake: You shoulda never drained the lake. My tribe depends on the waters for our safety. How will we fend off the Orok or the Azak now? And worse, you have unleashed the horrors of the Vaal once more. Know this: you bring up bad omens from the depths that shoulda stayed buried, and you will regret it. Servi The Azak Tribe: Be warned, friend. The waterways on the Matlan river be a barrier between us and the Azak tribe. The Orok may be trouble, but the Azak... them a true horror. Their queen-witch, Ignagduk, takes a child every blood moon night. Why, I won't guess. If you trespass, only death awaits you. But if you survive, while you are there... please, rip out her {heart!} |

I'll not be the first to set foot in those deadly sunken ruins, but if you're braving them, you might as well keep an eye out for anything that looks... valuable.

They {should} be able to understand you.Oswald Time Travel: Ugh, time travel gives me a headache. I'm trying to understand. Vaal priests built a gateway to their future to escape a coming catastrophe. That I can see. They needed someone with Vaal blood to activate the gateway on the other end... the other end being now. Our time. Why didn't they just activate it themselves back then, so that it would still be active now? And isn't needing someone with Vaal blood on this end a critical flaw, given that they were trying to escape a disaster they feared might wipe out their people? Does time pass equally on both ends? Is a day here a day there? What happens when their side has been open long enough for it to be now there, but the far future here? Ugh, I'm probably overthinking this...Servi The Time Portal: You know not what you do. A great darkness comes. You meddle with what has been, and who knows what will happen because of it. What is dead should stay dead. Close the gateway and leave it alone, I say. |
