Transcript
- Archon: Beyond the veil lies the Shadowlands... where every soul has its place.
- In Bastion, a kyrian spreads his wings, then lifts into the air. Two more kyrian join him and they set off into the clouds.
- In Ardenweald, three dream trees can be seen in the distance. The Winter Queen watches as many vorkai move along a road, before turning away with a flourish of her cloak. Leaves fly up in its wake.
- In Maldraxxus, the leaves fade into embers on the wind. Margrave Krexus, standing beneath a necropolis, lifts his axe as a rallying motion. The camera pans over to show a large number of soldiers battling below four necropoli. The one in front rains necromantic fire upon the armies.
- In Revendreth, two venthyr drain anima from a soul. Three more souls kneel before Denathrius. He picks one up and studies it.
- Denathrius: Hmm.
- With a smug scoff, Denathrius turns and hurls the soul off the ledge into the Maw. It can be heard screaming as it falls.
- Within the Maw, the Jailer kneels, chained in place.
- Jailer: Beyond the veil lies darkness, where every soul has its place.
