Despondent Ablutions

Objectives
Investigate the Purifying Effigy.
 * Purifying Effigy inspected
 * Violent Expurgation slain

Description
You return. A surprise. Perhaps there is still hope.

In victory or defeat, you bear the weight of this place. It hangs on you like a mantle. I see your struggle to bear it.

There is, perhaps, a way to shrug off this burden. An altar, to the northwest. Built by the tidesages, seeking to wash away the corruption.

Offer yourself to the idol. It will exact a price, as do all things. But in communion you may claw back from the brink.

Rewards
You will receive:
 * 20,560 XP
 * 20,560 XP

Progress
Find the circle, pierce the veil. Only in oblivion can you find it.

Completion
Your mind has rejected madness, and replaced it with determination. For now.
