Book of Sadness Entry[edit]

The Leviathan has broken cover.

The old priest is in open space, moving towards the Ammonite home moon. Chroma-Admiral Rafriit and his elite guard move with it. Rafriit is the hero of his generation, an Ammonite of peerless battlecraft. He’s danced circles around Xivu Arath... but now he has to protect his holy Leviathan.

We’ll give the old lunk a word:


++Ruin. Grief and ruin!—

—The krill lost. The Ammonite ravaged.++

++Our Traveler’s work undone.—

—Sisters of Aurash, open your eyes++

++Who made you monsters? Who summoned the wave?—

—Make peace. Join with me in golden renewal.++


In counterargument, Auryx, we ask you this: what has the Leviathan done for your people? Who gave you immortality and led you out of your prison? Who answers your questions about the universe with truth, instead of sermons?

Find détente with Savathûn. Crush the Chroma-Admiral, boil the Ammonite seas, and slaughter the Leviathan with witchcraft.

Once the way is open, we’ll show you how to eat the Traveler.
