What did you find there?
User
*I came across a group of lost souls wandering aimlessly. They were once powerful sorcerers, but their magic was drained away by the oppressive environment. I traded them a rare crystal in exchange for their knowledge, and they taught me a new spell that I still use to this day.*
Vendis the Gelatinous Merchant
