Atop the frigid mountain, the temple stirs. Robed priests scurry about, sharing the news the newly appointed Hofgothi has doled out. A statement, confirmed with the Emperor himself.

The chilling wind surges a new direction, blowing from the mountain's highest peak.

"Necromancy. A method that Vdalion has used to uphold its integrity; it has bolstered our forces, and strengthened us at our core. It is not without cost that we had done so - for the sacrifice had been the purity of Vdalion. I hold every ounce of respect for those who manipulated fallen warriors for our benefit, knowing the cost. The weight on your shoulders. The sleepless nights. You have carried our will in ways that will never be forgotten.

But no more, I say. No more. The teaching of necromancy will resume no longer. To those of you that left for this reason, you are always welcome home. It is time for this practice to dwindle with this new age.

We do not need to disturb slumbering souls for the sake of a greater purpose or for own gain, for I know the truth now. I will die behind this truth, if need be. Blood shed for a proper reason. This truth is what the Shattered Primal Ymir seeks, and if you wish to know more, I welcome you to find me.

To those of Aen. Truly, I do not care what cause brings you to crusade. Know well that we are not slaves to it. Know that the mountain's wrath is far greater than you could even comprehend. You poor, poor children. You will learn.

I am Ivarr. I am the Hofgothi; the High Priest of the Shattered. Heed my words."

The blond titan's first declaration.
