An altar built at the foot of a great stone statue. A wide bridge leads up to it, though years of erosion has left it partially buried under fallen rubble from the surrounding cliffs. The altar sits along the path leading to a tower that local tradition holds once served as the site of sacred rites or divine trials. No definitive records survive to confirm the details, but evidence that this place was used for ceremonial purposes remains clear. Few people today know its history. Perched at a great height with an open, exposed structure, it has come to be known simply as a treacherous place best avoided.

It would seem that my journey ends here. I have kept to my principles and hunted ever for the truth. But an inquisitive mind is a wasted thing in a world where the truth is manipulated by forces unseen. They will likely treat my research as though it never existed, which is why I have left inscriptions scattered far and wide. To those with an inquisitive mind, to those who travel far beyond the Safe Areas in search of mindful truths—I hope that you, who are reading this, will continue my research. And so, at long last, I engrave my name here. —Armet, first head of the Adventurer's Alliance
