What happened at the @Silent Monastery of the Fallen was not a brute-force attack. A formless, spiritual curse—which survivors have called "the Whispering Plague"—seeped into the monastery. It did not kill the monks physically, but instead preyed upon their spiritual peace. It whispered doubts, fears, and ancient sins into their minds, tormenting them until they simply faded away into incorporeal spirits of regret. This plague specifically targeted their spiritual strength, the very thing they valued most, and left no physical signs of violence. @Karnak Stoneheart , having a powerful but spiritually unrefined nature, was more resistant to the whispers, but the guilt of his survival now makes him believe he may have carried the very seed of this evil with him. The lingering, shattered souls of his former mentors now silently guard the monastery, unable to pass on.
