The remains of the Wraith materialized after the destruction of its core.
Or, rather, when its true form was killed in the shell that it was housed.
“It is much like a Lich, but not like a Lich.” Tormund hovered over the small creature. It reminded me of a large...

Fighting the Academy in-game is all about managing their chokepoints.
The problem is that they have at least two modes of entry and exist in each region through their mountain ranges. Each is defended heavily and can be supplied from the other side of the mountain, so they can’t be sieged ...

The average person in this world starts working at six years old, gets five hours of sleep a day, works six days a week, and lives to sixty, before being cut us of work and shown to the euthanasia center.
