00:00Aeron and Adso have set out on a quest as bold as it is doomed.
00:14On their journey, they'll cross the scorched remains of Bessicar Hamlet.
00:21Its streets are stocked by the queen's hunters and cursed souls,
00:27doomed to roam and spread only death in their wing.
00:33But something worse mingles here.
00:37An ancient hunger, thirsting for blood.
00:45To face the Crimson Fort is madness,
00:49but it blocks the only path to Duria,
00:52the ancient city where fate pulls Aeron and Adso closer to the palace.
00:59Cursed long ago, its inhabitants endure a living death.
01:04Their bodies decayed, their minds broken.
01:10There's nothing left in them but pain and violence.
01:16And yet, deep within the ruins, someone may still live.
01:22Someone who hasn't given up.
01:29The Doyen graves rise untouched by time.
01:38Solemn monuments carved by the first hands of human kind.
01:44For centuries, their towering tombs have held the silence of the dead.
01:54But now, that silence is broken.
02:01A necromancer's call has roused the graves.
02:06The dead walk once more.
02:09They hunt one who has also awakened,
02:13and runs from eyes no longer blind.
02:17Forged in blood and sand, the citadel of Varasmunda still stands,
02:26a war-scarred monument to a forgotten age.
02:31Here, the ancient forgers once defeated the tyrant Thaludak
02:36and his monstrous Athanatoi, ending an era of darkness beneath storm-split skies.
02:44They buried their enemies beneath the citadel.
02:47A warning, a boast.
02:50But they didn't bury them deep enough.
02:54Now, Queen Nerea has stirred the sands and called the Athanatoi back to life,
03:00and they will be her sword against Arran.
03:05On the icy shores of an ancient fjord,
03:11carved by the tides of the Forger's Sea,
03:14stands Winter's Wall.
03:16A fortress of frost and stone,
03:19silent beneath a sky of falling snow.
03:23Once it welcomed travelers on the path to the royal palace.
03:27Now, it stands cold and abandoned.
03:32Long ago, royal caravans passed this way,
03:36through the dryad forest and up the cliffs where the palace rests.
03:42Here, Arran was born and knew warmth, love and princess Nerea.
03:50And here, under a sky heavy with sorrow, his world shattered.
03:57This is where his exile began.
