Capture | My eternity passed unnoticed within the Sanctum. I knew I needed to amass great power in order to harvest the will of my prey. I commanded nascent energy, raw and shapeless, and over centuries, I gave it form. I opened gateways in the wilderness of Wraeclast – and even better, I managed to lure my quarry through them. Like rodents to rhoas, they were drawn into my domain... and not one has survived. |
Static Electricity | "Movement expends energy, but perhaps a little of that energy can be recaptured and... reappropriated." - Inquisitor Maligaro |

Captured Soul of Puruna, the Challenger | Though his mind decayed with each passing wave, the Brine King stood steadfast in his hatred, and wore it like a shell, protecting himself from his failure to sire a worthy heir. |
Captured Soul of Captain Tanner Lightfoot | The fish-wives of Tsoatha rejoiced loudly as the Brine King descended into the great abyss, making merry while his blasphemous offspring slithered 'neath the icy waters... |
Captured Soul of Glace | Slumbering in the breach between worlds, the Brine King dreamt of a day he would rise, in triumph from the shivering depths and take back the Kingdom he once so ruthlessly culled. |
Captured Soul of Maligaro the Mutilator | There is a story held by the ancient Vaal, in which the beautiful seductress Arakaali strode through towns, stealing the hearts of men, and turning to ash their lovers' desires. - "Legends of the Vaal" by Eramir, Scholar at Theopolis |
Captured Soul of Hybrid Widow | When the cold was at its strongest, Arakaali came, and like a farmer leading cattle to the slaughter, she drove her victims into the outer darkness. - "Legends of the Vaal" by Eramir, Scholar at Theopolis |
Captured Soul of Shadow of the Vaal | Records of Arakaali's violent reign suggest she kept her citizens sedated with 'juices of lust' and venoms of the spider. Perhaps her guise of seductress was in fact her way of farming those 'juices'. - "Legends of the Vaal" by Eramir, Scholar at Theopolis |
Captured Soul of Kitava, The Destroyer | The mud is cracked and dry. The fields now burn beneath the blistering sun. Even our children are dying in the streets! We've angered Solaris and so we pay tribute to appease her fiery heart... |
Captured Soul of The Gorgon | When Solaris is angered, there must always be sacrifice. Our women have taken to mourning, they drag themselves through ash and glass, not wanting to give up our youth to the all-consuming flame. |
Captured Soul of Jorus, Sky's Edge | To take from the sun is to invite her wrath, and we've more than warranted her curse. The granaries were vacant, so we lessened our tribute to the sun thinking it would save our children, but they will die now regardless. |
Captured Soul of Sebbert, Crescent's Point | Once beneath a moonlit sky, Lunaris bathed her child in the ocean's tide. Though the waters were frigid with icy death, the boy was sick and couldn't be healthy until he was silent, clean and still... |
Captured Soul of Khor, Sister of Shadows | And so it was, that Lunaris, in her compulsion to nurture and protect, killed her son beneath the light of a waning moon. She stood silent, in trial before her tribe, as her fiery sister fought in vain to defend her... |
Captured Soul of It That Fell | But Lunaris refused to admit any wrongdoing. She'd saved her child, had she not? He was safe now, buried beneath the dirt. Conviction gnarled around her fragile mind, and in her pride she rose to seat a deathless throne. |
Captured Soul of Mephod, the Earth Scorcher | When the demon Goat plays his flute, And cloven hooves clip-clop your path, Pray the gods will hold you mute, And bless the fire on your hearth. |
Captured Soul of Erebix, Light's Bane | The earth shakes, moon eclipses black. Graveyards quake, crops turn to ash, as the grieving mother weeps. Oceans boil and wind ravages home. We feel famine inside our bones, as the grieving mother, Gruthkul weeps. |
Captured Soul of Varhesh, Shimmering Aberration | In nature, there are many feelings exclusive only to man. But terror is not one. Terror flourishes in our world, transcending all things. It is the bedrock on which our great cosmos is formed. I am Yugul and I deign to understand this mystery, to explore its depths and unlock its secrets... |
Captured Soul of Terror of the Infinite Drifts | "So it's true." Shakari thought, as she took her final breath. "My father, Sin, wishes me dead. And he has sent his rabid dog to do it..." |
Captured Soul of Tahsin, Warmaker | Tukohama stood in the door, blocking the sunlight from Hikatomanga and his family. The Father of War's retribution was inevitable, for it is known - man cannot cheat the gods without consequence... |
Captured Soul of Drek, Apex Hunter | "Lock the gates and build the walls!" came the rallying cry, "Let those of Ralakesh take care of those of Ralakesh!" - The God Behind The Wall |
Captured Soul of Stalker of the Endless Dunes | Garukhan wished once more for the skies. If she were to die, she wanted it to be up there in the clouds. This world had never been her home. She required greater things. She required adventure. But die she would, here in the dirt... |
Captured Soul of Gorulis, Will-Thief | Ryslatha was flushed with pride as she watched her mindless spawn mature. Sharpening their mandibles, her children slithered from the hive, eager to devour all the creatures that frequented the ancient woods. |
Basilisk Acid | Nobility once thought to capture the Basilisks and keep them as exotic pets. This only served to fatten the vileness of their hearts, and with a hateful acid that festered inside, the creatures became soured to their very bones. |
Bestiary Scarab of Duplicating | "What's better than one captured beast, exile?" |
