Lords of the Fallen News

Illuminator Aubrey

A cell holds the weapon of one who would in light bask
And with radiant prayers uttered, carry out his grave task
A sculpture within a tower, two more where brothers dwell
And three among those who bid their old lives farewell
A stone barrier removed upon ending your bloody quest
A lambent shrine uncovered, a once-hidden place of rest

General Engstrom

In the aftermath of a battle fought within a ravine
Before a twisted tree, pledge yourself and be seen
Gather dousing ammunition from a frozen land
And extinguish the blazes of five infernal hands
Offer another sign, one expressed most fervently
And in victory feel no shame in unleashing your glee

Herald of the Maw

Upon an eerie idol, bestow a mother's embrace
And see that firelight is cast upon your face
Lonely notes ring out, refrains to be followed
Ensure the flames are no longer by darkness swallowed
A conductor in the shadows, a grim harmony achieved
A deep descent concluding with rewards received

But… you will have to perform certain ‘tasks’ in order to unlock these devastating secret attacks.
