<Page social="0">General Samael dispatched you to Popolion to investigate some wild rumors. Unchecked aggression raged across the landscape and bizarre aberrations attacked the locals.<BR><BR>You encountered a pair of baraka scholars, Bedoram and Brohua, who investigated the source of the trouble. Bedoram traced the problem to a relic known as a dementalith, but warned you that such a device is a massive investment and that the danger was greater than it first appeared.</Page>

There's talk about vampir blood magic, but no one knows anything.<BR><BR>The good news? Not much. Two baraka scholars have been braving the woods seeking answers, but it's dangerous out there.

<Page social="4">Outside aid at last! If nothing else, it's comforting to talk to someone sane! I am Bedoram's assistant at your service. Nothing much to report yet, although we have concluded that this is less a plague or curse than an...emanation? Hard to say. What we do know is that the longer you stay, the deeper it affects you.<BR><BR>It has affected my colleagues, though I don't think they realize it yet.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Where is Bedoram?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON></Page>

We're mapping the strength field of the—oh, I won't bore you.<BR><BR>I am more concerned with all the {@LinkCreature:15#6#disturbed constructs} near our camp. I've seen them slaughter travelers, but Prefect Paka's holding back his troops. He's convinced we're about to be overrun by farmers.<BR><BR>Could you deal with them?</Page>

He headed north so he probably passed through Camp Retribution. Go there and ask Centurion {@LinkCreature:215#1010$$Amallen} if he knows of Bedoram's whereabouts.</Page>

<Page social="4">Good question!<BR><BR>I've seen similar effects before, but dementaliths were always involved. Yes. They're powerful enough to cause this.<BR><BR>I'll tell you this, though. Whoever would deploy such a device must have an agenda, and be ruthless enough to pay any price for success.<BR><BR>By Oriyn's light, what a mess.</Page>
