Strong Start

Eldrox has another vision, a dream. He sees someone tied down to the top of a hill. A woman in black robes holds a bloody skull in one hand and a book in the other. She whispers out and the ground beneath the man explodes upwards, tearing him into pieces. All around the dead come to life.
