The Harbinger Awakens

After Gaerlan's attempts to raise the Harbinger using Nuhmudira as a vessel fail, the energy from the summoning destroys the town of Yanshi. The Harbinger, now awakened and without a vessel to contain it, is free to draw the essence from the world.

Later on, Elysa appears in the ruins of Yanshi after battling the creature and asks that players enter the portals to destroy the essence crystals and then the beast before it drains all the mana from the world.[1]

Elysa appears in Yanshi

In the ruins of Yanshi, a portal has opened. High Queen Elysa Strathelar awaits those that would enter within the wreckage of the once proud town.

Elysa staggers
Elysa Strathelar says, "I will live. The wound appears more severe than it truly is. We must rally ourselves. Be careful of the tentacles, they belong to the beast, but there is no way to harm them."
Elysa Strathelar says, "They will strike at you and use magics upon you. I think we weakened it... hope we weakened it. But it claimed so many lives. Lives that will not return, it was pure essence raw and unformed and then, all at once, it was there."
Elysa Strathelar says, "We fought, we fought so long, but it returned. Most of my men were slain and where they fell their corpses remain. We must rally as many as we can to fight this beast."
Elysa covers her mouth, as she coughs. She pulls her hands away, they are covered in blood.
Elysa Strathelar says, "We defeated it once! We can defeat this thing again."

Beneath the ruined soil of Yanshi, the heroes of Dereth rejoice, as the brave [Player Name] strikes a fatal and final blow against the Harbringer.
