Text during the spirit portal segments[edit]

Seitung Province's Practice Spirit Portal

As you step through the door to this strange world,
Into the dark echoes of Cantha's past,
The gravity of despair weighs upon you as you realize...
You stand amid the stained memories of the Ministry's purge. Alone.
No, you sense him. Feel his light, as though you are...one. He is here.

Seitung Province's First Spirit Portal

You emerge, choked by the sharp inhale of icy breath,
But the cold sinks within you, hardens to dread. His dread. Yours.
You ache, watching those you vowed to protect...
Destroy themselves.
And feel your vow shatter like their mortal bones.

Seitung Province's Second Spirit Portal

Despair suffocates you. Between gasps, you watch them...
Cruel people. No, he corrects you: cruel actions.
Lost souls following orders from those they've never seen in the flesh...
Burning flesh... The smell stains your nostrils.
You hold your breath to block the scent of death.

New Kaineng's First Spirit Portal

Are they monsters? Fueled by evil? No—for most, it's fear.
And their deepest fear is others knowing they're afraid,
So they mask themselves in hate,
To shield their true faces, even from themselves.
But he shows you past illusions, and what you see is worth protecting.

New Kaineng's Second Spirit Portal

When he left the mortal world, was he enraged?
Did he simply turn and go, disillusioned,
Ignoring screams of children, unconcerned with elders' wails?
Suddenly, you feel as though you're crying, but in place of tears,
You shed your doubts, exchanging them for truth: he did not choose this.

Echovald Wilds First Spirit Portal

You blink, trying to lift the veil of dream from consciousness.
Clouded still, the air chills your exhalations, which linger like hanged phantoms.
You do not recognize this place, but he is well acquainted.
Limbs bound by shackles, frozen in death's clenched hands,
He conjures light to guide you to this tomb, where he's been left to rot.

Echovald Wilds Second Spirit Portal

Some say the pages of history are scribed in blood...
And here, the bloodshed is so potent, a taste of foul iron taints your tongue,
Sickening him with reminders of those he failed to save.
You plead with him to forgive himself, but he doesn't hear you.
Or perhaps he's choosing not to listen.

Dragon's End First Spirit Portal

In this dark past, you feel as though you walk within time itself,
Wandering this raw space between being and nonbeing,
Wondering, "Did they hear creation's whisper calling them back?"
"Or was it an abrupt fade to black?"
"And do you really want to know the answer?"

Dragon's End Second Spirit Portal

He shares with you a moment, not seen, but felt:
Bright noise, brief explosions that split light, tear life.
Quick flashes illuminate a child's silhouette,
You shield her, white hot pain brands your side, she cries.
Blinded, you feel your limbs being bound, and fall, half dead on the ground.
