Mwa-hah-ha! No one alive can release him. He is bound by the blood of the Deathless, sealed by the abominations of his own make and safeguarded by Sentinels of the ruling four.
I’m alive again. Hell take me… I’m one of them, aren’t I?
It was once the home of the most vile evil ever to befall this world. He’s been gone for ages… slain by Raidriar on the plains of Koroth. Many Devoted believe him truly dead – yet here I study, ponder, and… question. The seal must never be broken, for he cannot be allowed to return. Poor little man. You are a fraud, and likely a pawn. I spill your blood with regret.
This can not be... Ausar...?
You have begun something that you cannot finish, Ausar.... This place will come crashing down… before you can unlock them all. And the Worker… will die with it!
You think to betray us, and harvest the Worker’s secrets for yourself? Then you are more a fool than I imagined. You will not unlock this vault, traitor, no matter how many times you are reborn. For I am Thane – first blood of the Deathless, high lord of House lx, and shield of the Great Pact. I will destroy your body, hunt down your bloodline, and imprison your soul for all time!
Immortality is a long shot, I admit. But somebody has to be first.
