The courtyard where the stone creatures caught the Withered was somewhat different from the previous one.
The glowing tree here had crystallized and no longer showed any signs of life.
However, this crystal tree gave off faint fluctuations of arcane energy.
Energy crystals had also formed on the surrounding ground.
The Withered had gathered here to absorb the arcane energy within the crystals.
Studying the crystallized tree before him, Herad suspected it was a failed Arcan'dor.
In the game, Valewalker Falrodin lived in this area, researching Arcan'dor, the ancient divine tree capable of curing arcane addiction.
Now that he had seen this crystallized tree that closely resembled Arcan'dor, he could pretty much confirm that Falrodin was nearby.
With the Sunwell still intact, Arcan'dor was of little value to the High Elves.
Those High Elves who could withstand their arcane addiction wandered all over the world.
Those High Elves who could not withstand it stayed in Quel'Thalas and went nowhere else.
Besides, whether the fruit of the divine tree Arcan'dor could cure arcane addiction was still a question.
Perhaps it simply contained vast amounts of arcane energy, enough to satisfy those suffering from arcane addiction.
That would make it little different from the mana crystals mages created.
It would count as an enhanced version of a mana crystal.
Thus, Herad was not particularly concerned about Falrodin's whereabouts.
At this stage, catching Withered was the most important task!
As the stone creatures continued along the tunnel, they caught some Withered inside it.
At the same time, a kind of half-spider, half-elf creature called the Felsworn attacked them.
The Felsworn were called Fal'dorei in the game, created when the energy released by Arcan'dor's explosion corrupted the Nightborne.
These creatures were twisted versions of the Nightborne, with hideous appearances.
The Fal'dorei still possessed intelligence,
