Description

From the deep...
A realm of darkness and fire.
Grasping in my slumber.

I am ensnared, <race>.

Shadows lurk in the rods of fire beside me.
Slay them.
That I may be free again.

Progress

They are not of this world.

They know neither pity nor fear.

<Tortolla quivers and shakes debris free from his great back.>

You...
Are not like the others.

I am free once again.

The others...
Will pay.

Notes

Interact with the the rod of subjugation on each side of Tortolla. A Twilight Dominator will spawn, a level 80 shade with 39051 health!
