The Shrine (1)
A lone traveler bearing a Dark Sigil stumbles upon a shrine. An old woman with a cat welcomes the traveler and encourages him to stare into the fire to observe the stories of similar undead who have suffered.

Crossroads
In a desert wasteland, an undead warrior encounters a ragged man strung up to a cross who warns him of the path ahead. The man introduces himself as Mortlock of Ithraic, punished for killing a man who stole from him. The undead introduces himself as Heroth of Harrowmark who seeks a cure for the Undead Curse. Mortlock bargains with Heroth that if he cut him down, he will escort him to a ruin where his curse can be cured. Heroth begrudgingly agrees. During the travel, Heroth tells of his past, how his village was ruptured by the curse and that those surviving burned the village to the ground in a n attempt to put an end to the infection. At the ruins, Mortlock directs Heroth into a room to where he would presumably find the cure, but Heroth to his shock finds only decapitated bodies. Mortlock suddenly dons a sword and briskyly decapitates Heroth himself, citing that death is the only cure for the Undead.

Heroth is then seen tied up to a cross in the same area as before, beckoning another gullible undead traveler to cut him loose.
