The Dwarven city of Sterck is under psychic attack, and the infection is currently concentrated within the Old Quarter District. The Silent Radiance Spire—a ruined Radiant Tower built by the ancient Asuwan civilization to filter the planar energy of The Glimmering—has been seized by the Bald-Ebon Terror, a fragment of the Riftgate Schism. The Terror is now corrupting the tower's mechanism to broadcast despair and apathy, paralyzing the district's populace. Covertly hired by the Moonstone Empire, your mission is a surgical strike: Ascend the treacherous spire to strike the ancient bell and unleash the Force of Order's pure clarity. You must shatter the psychic broadcast in the Old Quarter; if the signal spreads, it will inexorably take and break all of Sterck. The spire's collapsing, chaotic environment is simultaneously your greatest enemy and your only tool for reversing the broadcast's effects.
