[edit] Dialogue

If Razah is in the party (and no member of the party has the quest Finding a Purpose active), certain spots in this area will trigger a monologue from Razah.

At the area where the first Binding Guardian was:

Razah: "I spent days staring into the eyes on these walls, wondering why they were watching at me, what they were thinking, who they belonged to. Are there souls behind those waxy stares, or are they simply the facade of the tormented and soulless dead? I do not have the answer."

At the area where the second and third Binding Guardians were:

Razah: "These plants are fascinating, are they not? They grow throughout the realm wherever there is enough blood for them to feed. Do not touch them; one prick will lead to a painful and certain death."

At the area where Razah was trapped within the barrier:

Razah: "Although I was bound here, I have no resentment towards this place. The soft, pulsing light that permeates the land reminds me of the Mists."

[edit] Notes

• Since there are no resurrection shrines in this area, a party wipe will result in the party getting sent back to Abaddon's Gate.
• These quests affect the spawns in this area:
  • Finding a Purpose
• This area does not contribute to the Elonian Cartographer title since it is in the Realm of Torment and does not show up on the world map.
• This area is not required for the Elonian Vanquisher title.
