The first time Ringo had come to what had once been the Black Morass, the Dark Portal had stood dormant, quietly gloating of the fel energies that had once poured from it, baking the land and turning it into the aptly named Blasted Lands.

“That’s a bloody big crystal, that’s what that is,” Beli breathed, when the glowing bulk of the Exodar finally came into view against an overcast sky.
