An Echo From Beyond

Master did great by sending you to me. I am sure we can thank his clairvoyance for that, as I witnessed something truly frightening mere moments ago. You see to your right the abominable Dark Portal, legacy of the orcish invasion of your world? Master's suspicions regarding the portal's energy were true. Just before your arrival, a huge surge in power and a terrible, crushing force washed over the red sands of this desert.

My intuition tells me whatever lingers in front of it must be terrifyingly powerful. <name>, please do not face it alone. Although the master has put your trust in you, what we are dealing with might very well be too much for you alone.

Proceed with caution. We do not know what otherworldly horror might await us.

A shadowed specter? And it spoke of the enslavement of the Sanv tribe and Akh Z'ador?! This is grim news, <race>. For all our sakes, let me be wrong, but I fear the Harborage is in danger, grave danger!
