The Litany of the Willows
The oldest devout of Cellyon makes its entrance intto the game. In the heart of a temple buried under the forest bordering the Red Lake lie Humbaba and its Willows. They challenge anyone who dares prevent them from quenching their thirst for revenge.
Will you dare to venture this far into Hildra in an attempt to stop them from harming humanity and destroying everything in the name of their departed god?
