Adolin had been scouring the plane for decades searching for and collecting every scrap of detail he could find. He would not have been surprised to learn that this small hidden chamber was actually the greatest collection of information about the Hells and the Blood War that had ever existed. Adolin had also left descriptions of the unique traits and abilities granted to both he and the blade itself. Xander slowly but surly began to fully understand the pact he was pushed into.
