Warden Therro's Echo
Lingering Impression of a Vanished Warden
The fractured spiritual impression of a warden who vanished on the ridge, manifesting in the chasm's colder reaches. Distressed but not hostile, it replays its final moments in broken speech and warns those who follow its path. Approach it gently and it will offer the last pieces needed to face what waits at the silent heart of the chasm.
Description
In the wind-scoured hollows near the Chasm of the Silent Wind, a cold impression lingers where a warden named Therro was lost. It is not a creature and it means no harm, but it is distressed, repeating fragments of its final hours to anyone who comes close. Treat it with patience and it steadies enough to be understood; startle it and it bursts in a shockwave of cold.
It speaks of watching something cross the chasm, of a movement no creature should be able to make. The Vigil draws it, the echo says; the silence calls to it; beware the cold that is too still. Follow my last steps, it tells those who will listen, and you will find its resting place, and it warns that even names sound different in a place this quiet.
