The Confession

Zariel takes you to the highest tower of the Celestial Citadel, where the ancient records are kept. "I have known about the Corruptor's true form since before you were born," she says. "The avatar you destroyed was a projection - a piece of the Corruptor's consciousness projected into the mortal realm. The real Corruptor is in the Heart of the Void, six layers below reality. Each layer is sealed. To reach it, you must descend through all six. But the seals can only be broken from the inside - by someone strong enough to survive the descent. That someone is you. I have been preparing you for this since the day you arrived in Dawnport Reef. Yes, I know about the rats. I've known since the beginning. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. You needed to grow strong first. Now you're strong enough to hear the truth."
