The exile

Why do the keen of mind seek to satiate their curiosity in darkness and depravity? Innocence is our Father, Oriath is our Mother. When a daughter strays from the light, she makes herself an orphan. Learn well the lessons that Wraeclast will teach you, Witch. It is your only hope of finding your way home.

Witch voice lines 164

Event Washed Up

The very sand shivers with malice. There's a power here that welcomes me.

Enter Prison

I'd rather burn than call such a place home.

Enter Ship Graveyard

The sirens appear to be dining well.

Enter Chamberof Sins

The air stinks of thaumaturgy. I could learn a thing or two here.

Witch5

Sad creatures in dark corners... seems they've been sad for a very long time.

Enter Solaris Temple

I'd love to see the insides of this spell. I can't abide housework.

Kill Bite Zombie

The dead will soon rise for me, not against me.

Kill Brutus

Had you been my creation, brute, you'd not have fallen so easily.

Kill Fairgraves

And that's how you die properly, sailor boy. No half-measures, thank you.

Kill Merveil

Poor fishwife! 'Twas love that did this to you.

Kill Oak

This land has no time for avaricious little despots like you, Oak.

Kill Kraityn

It's kind of disappointing, really. I usually like rats.

Kill Alira

You missed a valuable lesson, Sister. Never let the power go to your head.

Kill Vaal Oversoul

A pity. I think we could've been friends.

Kill Gravicius

You wanted me burned back in Oriath, Gravicius. That wasn't very nice.

Kill Piety

I loved your work, Piety. It was you I wasn't very fond of.

Kill Dominus

No-one will cry for you, Dominus. Not a soul.

Event Unleash Darkness

How fascinating.

Witch19

A moment to catch my breath.

No Mana

I need more mana.

Inv Full

Too. Much. Clutter.

Flask Low Life To High Life

Ah, satisfying indeed.

Witch23

Life is fleeting!

Low STR

I've not the muscle for that.

Low INT

I'm perplexed about that one.

Low DEX

I'll need to be more lithe for that.

Quest Item

This item whispers of destiny.

Skill Town

That would just make life complicated.

Level Up2

And I thought I'd be a dead woman by now.

Level Up3

To learn is to live.

Level Up5

I think this Wraeclast will serve.

Level Up10

Fate smiles with sharp teeth.

Level Up15

I barely recognise myself.

The very land learns to heed my demands.

Level Up30

I no longer need fear. Destiny has seen to that.

Enter Cannibal Bay

I know that stench. Just like my sisters... upon the pyre.

Enter Southern Forest

It's nice to see there's still some life in this twitching corpse of a continent.

Witch38

Sarn, the city that gave birth to an empire. Oh, you have so much to answer for.

Enter Crematorium1

When you build something like this, you make persecution a way of life.

Event Fairgraves Disappear

Poor sailor boy. Doomed to go wherever the winds blow him.

Enter Sceptre Of God

Remember, Dominus. What goes up, must come down.

Enter Aqueduct

That water just reeks of corruption. Let's see where it comes from.

Enter Dried Lake

How do I keep ending up in such lovely places?

Kill Voll

Thaumaturgy just keeps getting the better of you, doesn't it Voll?

Enter Mines1

Yes, little mountain. I'm pleased to see you too!

Enter Mines2

I think it likes me.

Event Freed Deshret

There are so many more trapped spirits in this place. I can feel them.

Enter Crystal Veins

Don't be frightened little mountain. It'll all be over soon.

Kill Daresso

I'm sorry to have to break this to you, Daresso, but... she's not real.

Enter Kaom Dream

So this is what the inside of a Karui king's head looks like. I hope they're not all like this.

Kill Kaom

Now that's what you get for losing your temper, Kaom.

Enter Belly Of The Beast

It's not every day you get to walk into a living, breathing nightmare.

Enter Harvest

It seems I've underestimated Piety. Good! I like surprises.

Kill Maligaro

I hate to be critical, but... I've seen better.

Kill Shavronne

After Brutus, I'm glad I won't be seeing any more of your work.

Kill Doedre

Oh, Doedre. We witches have to have some standards.

Event Piety Sacrifice

I hope he doesn't listen, Piety. That'll make it even more fun!

Kill Malachai

Poor Malachai, you were so frightened of Death, weren't you? Now the two of you can get better acquainted. It's really not so bad once you get to know it.

Cooldown

When I'm ready and not before.

Cooldown

When I'm ready and not before.

Kill Rare

Life is short. Deal with it.

Kill Rare

Oops! Clumsy me.

Kill Rare

Everything dies.

Kill Rare

I like you better this way.

Kill Rare

Life is too precious to waste on you.

Enter Lunaris2

You either master Nightmare, or it masters you.

Enter The Ascent

Seems I've mastered Wraeclast. Time to return to Oriath with a vengeance.

Enter Slave Pens

I'm going to show them how right they were to fear me.

Kill Krow

Is that all? I expected so much more.

Enter A5Town

Seems there's a rebellion on. How quaint.

Pick Up Miasmeter

Thaumaturgy and science, combined... that's rather clever.

Kill Casticus

Look at these beauties... perfect for my collection!

Enter Oriath Square

These people have no idea their time is almost up.

Enter Templar Courts

I swore they would suffer for exiling me, and I always keep my promises.

Enter Chamber Of Innocence

Something's here... something... different...

Seen Avarius

Let's start with you, shall we?

Seen Innocence

That power... incredible!

Met Sin Innocence

I've conquered one god already. What's one more?

Enter Torched Courts

Someone's redecorated. I like it.

WitchKillCato

You testified against me, 'scholar,' while you yourself were secretly corrupted. Typical.

Enter Ruined Square

This chaos... should have been of my making.

Kill Utula

Oriath was mine to burn. You took that from me. Now, you will join the pyre.

Enter Ossuary

Had I the time, I could raise an endless legion from these bones. Pity.

Pick Up Sign Of Purity

The more I feel of Divinity, the more I want it...

Face Kitava A5

Come, Ravenous One. Let me devour your heart!

Approach Lilly

I've never had to pay the price for my ambitions... until now.

Met Sin A6

Alchemy and black thaumaturgy... you sure know how to lift my spirits.

Enter Twilight Strand A6

I was so arrogant when I first awoke here. I had so much to learn.

Enter Coast A6

Hopefully, I can learn from my mistakes this time.

WitchRespondToNessaOne

I'm not really in the habit of saving people, but I'll see what I can do.

Met Sin Tukohama

This spark... exquisite!

Enter The Prison A6

I must have jinxed myself. Here we go again...

WitchSeesBrutusA6

Brutus again? That shoddy creation barely put up a fight the first time.

Kill Shavronne A6

It seems those who don't learn from their mistakes are doomed to repeat them.

Met Sin Abberath

Between alchemy and thaumaturgy, I'll bet on thaumaturgy every time.

Met Sin Ryslatha

If I ever attain Divinity, I must make sure I don't end up like her.

WitchSeesAzmeriGone

That's not the Azmeri! They're gone!

WitchRespondToNessaTwo

Trap?... trap.

Enter The Reef A6

So, Divinity doesn't just reshape the self. It changes the world around you, too...

Met Sin Brine King

This sliver of Divinity... so much stronger than the others... I must have more!

Pick Up Maligaro Map

The energy of visions, made tangible. How curious.

Enter Chamber Of Sins A7

I will uncover the secrets hidden in these shadows.

Enter Maligaro Sanctum

This place... flows forth from a dark mind, thought by thought...

Kill Maligaro A7

I didn't give you enough credit, Maligaro. This place, this energy... I've learned something new!

Enter Ashen Fields

Why do they always resort to fire?

Met Sin Ralakesh

You could have been anybody, Ralakesh, and you chose... Greust?

Event Greust Honoured

I didn't like you very much, Greust, but don't feel bad. I don't really like anybody.

Glyph Arakaali Shrine

So many gods, so many different forms of insanity. I will not fall victim to the same follies.

Met Sin Gruthkul

The forbidden books spoke of you. Go back to the nothingness from whence you came.

WitchReactToYeenaTransform

Yet another form of power I've never seen. I thought I knew everything, but I truly know nothing.

Kill Arakaali

Oh, Silk, what did you expect?

Met Sin Arakaali

I will gladly drink of this power.

Enter A8Town

The foulest thaumaturgy hangs in the air. I approve.

Kill Doedre A8

I hate to repeatedly torture a fellow witch, but you brought this on yourself, Doedre.

Event After Tolman

You should have kept him how he was... I would have.

Kill Gemling Legion

Still following orders after three centuries? I really must create some gemlings of my own.

Met Sin Yugul

I like the taste of this divine spark. Smooth... and flavoured with fear...

Enter Lunaris Temple A8

I preferred the old look.

WitchPickUpSunOrbOne

The power of the sun in the palm of my hand...

WitchPickUpSunOrbTwo

A fragment of Divinity in the palm of my hand...

Pick Up Sun Orb

I will soon take this power for my own.

Pick Up Moon Orb

Lunaris, your secrets will soon be mine.

Met Sin Solaris Lunaris

Your energies flow through my veins now. Thank you for distracting each other like fools.

Pick Up Basilisk Acid

Shame. I would have loved a basilisk as a pet.

WitchMeetSinGarukhanOne

Your wife's soul tastes like the sky.

Met Sin Garukhan

An exquisite divine spark, like no other.

Met Sin Shakari

A toxic taste... just the way I enjoy it.

Pick Up Trarthan Powder

I love the smell of alchemy.

Enter Belly Of The Beast A9

Now I am truly surrounded by death.

Kill Unholy Trio

My soul flows with dark energies. Time to show them what I can really do.

Enter Ravaged Square A10

Nothing can stop me this time.

Kill Avarius A10

Pathetic!

Enter Canals

This time, I will eat his heart.

Kill Kitava A10

Hahaha, yes! The world kneels at my feet!

Wake Up Karui Shores

Nothing can stand in my way now.

Entered Maps

I think I've found a new realm to master.

Entered Wildwood

The forbidden books never spoke of this...

Become Warden

I'll use these teachings for my own purposes, thank you.

Become Warlock

A witch joining a warlock. Now I've seen everything.

Become Primalist

'Spose I'll try anything once.

Kill King In The Mists

Just another pretender king brought low by my power.

Kill Trialmaster

A terrible fate, but I missed the part where that's my problem.

Kill Maven

Under my guidance, you'll soon conquer the universe.

Kill Searing Exarch

I'm no stranger to the pursuit of knowledge, but it has to come with wisdom, too.

Kill Eater Of Worlds

I can't let you consume that which I seek to conquer.

Kill Al Hezmin

I could probably save you from this torment, Al-Hezmin... but I've got better things to do.

Kill Veritania

I happen to agree with you, Veritania. Everyone else is weak. The thing is... so are you.

Kill Drox

Even if you'd managed to make a kingdom in the Atlas, Drox, I would have just taken it from you.

Kill Baran

You weren't God, Baran. I'd know.

Kill Lycia

You don't deserve immortality, Lycia. I, on the other hand...

Met Ikiaho

Strange to meet a sister witch that holds back so much of her power... I'll keep her secret.

Met Kaom

So large, yet so small.

Met Utula

The Karui are free, Utula, but thanks to me... not you.

Cleared Simulacrum

I've not known fear since I became the Godslayer. This place is nothing to me.

Kill Beidat

That was Beidat? If he'd stopped to talk, I might have been open to a deal.

Met Oshabi

There's a very strange energy surrounding that woman...

See Ritual

Beware anonymous gifts.

Met Gwennen

I make my own luck, thank you.

WitchMeetHinekora

You had my respect, Hinekora, but now you have my pity.

WitchReconsiders

I've been too ambitious. Perhaps I should reconsider. Perhaps I should do things... differently. Hmmm... no.

WitchSpeculativeOne

This is new.

WitchSpeculativeTwo

More to conquer.

WitchSpeculativeThree

A challenge? I like it.

WitchMeetOlesya

I like your style, Olesya.
Nessa 2

Nessa

I saw what you did to Hillock out there, Witch. Your black art is the reason you're here, in exile. It may also be the only thing that allows you to see another dawn. I'm Nessa. And I suppose I should thank you for ridding us of that putrid giant. Back in Oriath I judged your kind without hesitation. In Wraeclast, I don't have that luxury.

Nessa

So courageous, such a fine example of womanhood. I simply knew you wouldn't disappoint me. Or my husband. You see, his majesty could never be satiated on his wedding day by one bride alone. Thank you, my new sister. I shall always treasure your company.
Bestel 1

Bestel

A waifish, waterlogged Witch, washed up in Wraeclast. That's the first line of the poem I'm writing about you, exile. Easy, girl. You could scorch a bloke with a look like that. The name's Bestel, captain of the good ship 'Merry Gull'. Alas, my Merry Gull is gone. My crew is gone. But my wits remain... after a fashion.
Grigor 3

Grigor

Come no closer, Witch. The name's Grigor and, as you can see, I've had my fill of your kind. So once you've finished admiring your sisterhood's handiwork, turn those icy orbs of yours eastward. A copper-headed lass and her boy-mate. They're missing, and might be in need of your more 'useful' talents.

Grigor

Come no closer, Witch. The name's Grigor and, as you can see, I've had my fill of your kind. So once you've finished admiring your sisterhood's handiwork, turn those icy orbs of yours eastward. Yes, you've brought Clarissa home to us, and once again she pesters me with pity. There's only so much broth, so many bouquets that a man can take. For a criminal, Clarissa has a strangely soft centre. Still, I'd rather not see that heart of hers hardened. Use those dubious talents of yours for something worthwhile. Find her boy-mate, Tolman. Prove me wrong about your kind.

Grigor

Listen carefully, Witch. Thanks to your sister-in-art, Piety, I no longer dream when I sleep. I only have nightmares. The same nightmare, over and over. The Mirror. It's never my reflection looking back. The first time that mirror appeared to me, it was Kole I saw. A rapist from Oriath I had the displeasure of sharing a pen with in Gravicius' stockade. Piety took him for her experiments and that night, I saw her handiwork while I slept. This time, it was Tolman. Flesh dried to leather. Organs shrunk to husks. Blood trickling through his skeleton like red dust in an hourglass. It's Piety's gift to me, that mirror. At least I won't be seeing Clarissa the next time I look into it. And for that alone, I hope it's not you I see, either.
Gravicius 1

Gravicius

I shall purify you in flame, whore of nightmare!
Piety 7

Piety

There she is, my work-in-progress. Let's see if Wraeclast has been good to you, Witch.

Piety

Of all the worlds you could have conquered, you had to choose mine. Such power wasted on a feeble imagination.

Piety

Ignorance brought you here, sister. To the one place where your talents are free to grow and be truly feared.

Piety

This is for your own good, sister!

Piety

Failure stings, sister. Yet pain is the finest of all teachers.

Piety

That's twice I've underestimated you, sister. Twice now that your talents have proved to exceed even mine. So it looks like you'll be the one to finish what I so blindly started. Part of me wishes I'd died at your feet as was intended. The little girl within me that shies from darkness, from greatness.

Piety

You've come such a long way since we first met in Axiom prison. I was that close to snuffing you out, then and there, sister. But now look at us! Working together to destroy the greatest terror that Wraeclast has ever known. If I were the crying type, it'd bring a tear to my eye.
Dominus 1

Dominus

You'd bite the master that called you here, Witch?
Lady Dialla, Lady Dialla 1

Lady Dialla, Lady Dialla

You have mounted the summit of the Empire, Not-a-Cockroach. You have crushed the bug emperor and wiped his maggot dreams from the skin of Wraeclast. Dominus exiled you, naked and alone, unto the palm of Death. But you would not die, would you? No, no... you cuddled Death, promised it the world, made it your consort and so generously shared it with all your fleeting friends here in Wraeclast. Not once did you forget what you were. Not a cockroach feeding on the corpse of a dead empire, like the pests you crushed as you walked. A woman. The sort of woman that planted the seed of this Empire right here in Sarn, so long ago. What teetering and twisted life it still holds dear, this land owes to you, Witch.
Dialla 1

Dialla

The little girl walked into a dark, dark cave. The little girl met a dark, dark Beast. The little girl ate its dark, dark heart. My Malachai is dead. I knew it, felt it, understood it the moment you struck the final blow. I am, I was... the Gemling Queen, and now my King is dead.
Piety, Piety 3

Piety, Piety

Be happy for me, sister. It's not often we get to erase our failures.

Piety, Piety

Our mistakes can be our greatest achievements.

Piety, Piety

This is what I get for trying to be a bloody hero. Who'd have thought you'd be so suited to the role? I was convinced I'd made a fatal mistake in sparing your life in Axiom Prison. Fatal, yes, but a mistake? No. Go now, sister. It's up to you to teach Malachai the true definition of Nightmare.
Leo, Wolf of the Pits 1

Leo, Wolf of the Pits

Got myself banished from Theopolis Arena for dealing with your kind, Witch. But this isn't Theopolis, and Leo Redmane's arena welcomes anyone who can put up a good fight... or a bad one. It's not the methods, but the ruckus that matters to me.
Oyun 1

Oyun

You come to us, a woman like us, and yet nothing like us. While we cloak ourselves in tradition and war, you cloak yourself in thaumaturgy and fear, and that is why you will kill the Beast within the mountain. Lady Dialla has told me this. She has much faith in you, Witch. The question is... can we Maraketh share in her faith?
Kira 2

Kira

I have seen the look in Piety's eyes. I see the look in your eyes, Witch. It is not as different as I had hoped. No matter. The knife in your hand is better than the spear in the rack.

Kira

What cannot be understood should be feared. It is the first rule that a child learns. There is no shame in my saying this: I fear you, Witch.
Petarus and Vanja 2

Petarus and Vanja

Vanja: You are most welcome here, sister. What you did back there in Sarn, it was truly... Petarus: ...terrifying. Don't get me wrong. Piety, the rest, they had it coming. But there's no one like that here. These Maraketh, they're good people. Vanja: She knows that! Please, sister, ignore Petarus.

Petarus and Vanja

Petarus: It's obvious to everyone now. Vanja: There's no one like you, Witch. Petarus: The Beast learned that the hard way... Vanja: ...and the whole of Wraeclast will learn about it, one way or another. Petarus: So, I guess this is the happily-ever-after they promised us when we were kids, right, Vanja? Vanja: For us, for Wraeclast... maybe. What about you, sister? Do you even know what that looks like for you? Petarus: There's plenty of happiness to go around now. Vanja: You deserve a piece of it.
Tasuni 2

Tasuni

I stare into the eyes of madness, Witch. I see a hunger for power that Nightmare would most generously satiate, should you choose to ask it.

Tasuni

Ah, Witch. I knew you would embrace the Beast. Yet I couldn't know that you would squeeze the very life from it. Honestly didn't think you had that much love in you. Now one thing remains to be seen. Your regard, your touch, your embrace... can mean only doom for the loved. Please, choose your loves wisely, Witch, lest you break poor Oriath's heart. Yes, that's right. Oriath. Upon the mountain high, a gateway has opened, one that shall lead you back home. Hurry, for as the death throes of the Beast soften and still, I see the gate beginning to close. Follow your heart, Witch, no matter how dark it becomes.
Malachai 1

Malachai

I have been expecting you, Witch. You and I are about to create the most beautiful of Nightmares together. Will you go to bed now, little girl? Or do I need to tuck you in?
Dannig, Warrior Skald, Dannig, Dannig, Warrior Skald 1

Dannig, Warrior Skald, Dannig, Dannig, Warrior Skald

You're naught but skin and bones, Exile, but you've made it this far. Clearly, you must have some talent. Care to lend your skills to a matter of honour?
Rog, the Dealer, Rog, the Dealer, Rog 1

Rog, the Dealer, Rog, the Dealer, Rog

I'm Rog. I specialise in logistics and planning. I don't know how you've survived out here on your own, but I'll do what I can to support you with my supply skills! From the back. Far from combat.
Gwennen, the Gambler, Gwennen, the Gambler, Gwennen 1

Gwennen, the Gambler, Gwennen, the Gambler, Gwennen

Now that we've a chance to talk without explosives and monsters around us... I'm Gwennen. Luck is my game. But it's no game. It's deadly serious. You have to believe you're going to win, or you won't. That's the nature of this life, understand? It is what you make of it. So when you gamble with me, know that it's your fault if you lose. You just didn't believe hard enough.
Tujen, the Haggler, Tujen, Tujen, the Haggler 1

Tujen, the Haggler, Tujen, Tujen, the Haggler

The name's Tujen. You've quite the aura of darkness. Glad to work with ya. That's just the kind of temperament this Wraeclast demands.
Lilly Roth, Lilly Roth 1

Lilly Roth, Lilly Roth

You won the day, but you look more than frazzled, Witch. Might be time to bury your head in some forbidden occult books for a while... or whatever it is you do for fun. I know folks like us aren't suited to rebuilding efforts and honest work. Just say the word, and we'll sail on out of here.
Cadiro Perandus 1

Cadiro Perandus

I don't know what deal you've made with Prospero to get me sent here, Witch, but I'll have you know that your dark powers will not work on me. My prices are not open to haggling or negotiation, no matter your... charms. Ahem.
Navali 2

Skill tutorials 11

A channelled, area of effect chaos spell that applies a debuff to enemies. Debuffed enemies take chaos damage over time as well as having reduced movement speed.

Efficacy Support
Increases the damage over time and spell damage of Blight. The increased skill effect duration also increases the duration of Blight's debuff on enemies.
Controlled Destruction Support
Grants more spell damage but reduces critical strike chance. However, Blight cannot critically hit meaning Controlled Destruction gives more spell damage with no drawbacks.
Void Manipulation Support
Grants more chaos damage but lowers the elemental damage of Blight. Blight only deals chaos damage so Void Manipulation gives more damage at no drawback.
Swift Affliction Support
Decreases the total duration of Blight's debuff effect but compensates for this by increasing damage over time dealt by Blight.
Increased Area of Effect Support
Increases the area of effect of Blight allowing it to affect a greater number of targets at once.
More Duration Support
Increases the duration of Blight's slow effect and chaos damage over time debuff on enemies.

A cold based projectile spell that pierces enemies, dealing cold damage with a chance to freeze. The projectile loses damage and freeze chance based on how far it has travelled.

Controlled Destruction Support
Grants more spell damage to Freezing Pulse but reduces critical strike chance. The more spell damage provided by this support allows a direct and stable increase in damage not contingent on critical strikes.
Cold Penetration Support
Reduces enemy resistance to cold damage, making them take more cold damage from Freezing Pulse.
Spell Echo Support
Repeats Freezing Pulse an additional time while also greatly increasing the cast speed.
Faster Projectiles Support
Increases Freezing Pulse's projectile speed, increasing the maximum distance that the projectiles travel. This allows Freezing Pulse to hit targets further away.
Multiple Projectiles Support
Increases the amount of projectiles Freezing Pulse casts, allowing it to hit more targets at once. At later levels, obtain the Greater Multiple Projectiles Support gem to hit enemies in a larger area.
Added Cold Damage Support
Increases the amount of flat cold damage your Freezing Pulse does.

An area of effect, channelled spell that deals pulses of lightning damage to enemies. The skill releases a stronger pulse every 4 pulses.

Controlled Destruction Support
Grants more spell damage to Lightning Tendrils but reduces critical strike chance. The more spell damage provided by this support allows a direct and stable increase in damage, not contingent on critical strikes.
