What Might Have Been

Witness Velen's memory.

• Talk to Velen

<Velen continues to stare at the statue as he speaks.>

Thousands of years ago, when I was young, I made a choice.

A choice that allowed my world to fall to ruin. A choice that made my people exiles. A choice that forever separated me from my beloved brothers.

<Velen shakes his head.>

I cannot leave, not yet. Not until I have had a chance to reflect.

• +75 reputation with Argussian Reach

Memory roots me in place, more surely than the heaviest stone.

<Prophet Velen peers solemnly at you.>

Thank you.
