The city of Civilia’s Ruin has truly become an horrific place – the playground of the mastermind Sorrah Nikos. Claiming the town as her personal testing ground for numerous foul experiments, she has been able to quickly expand her operations now that the Xarlanthian survivors and the city of Khardhir have pulled out of the city. Working alongside all manner of other warbands, Nikos has managed to create a burgeoning slave trade system, allowing her to experiment on creatures to her hearts content. Additionally, she has come into possession of some amber blood – and after plenty of cruel experiments she has managed to confirm that the substance really can control all manner of creature.

Because of this, Sorrah has also sent out a call-to-arms, a sort of twisted version of Khardhirs; she wants amber blood, and she wants a lot of it. Thankfully, the removal of the Fae also solves another of Nikos’ problems, namely, the fact that the continent will soon rip apart Civilia’s Ruin entirely – destroying all of her labs, slaves, and experiments. So, the downfall of the Fae, and the acquisition of their materials, is now at the forefront of her goals.
