Lore

The Last to Die is aptly named for being the only person to survive the invasion of the Scourge in her timeline. She manages to flee to other alternate Wraeclasts using the Blood Crucible, an artifact created by a pact between the god Chaos and the high priests of Vaal ages ago. As a descendant of the Vaal priests, her life sustains the device.

There are some hints that suggest she's an alternate version of Alva Valai. (?)

In-Game Dialogue

Introduction

  • There's no time. I've become too weak to sustain the Blood Crucible. Take it... make its power your own.

The Nightmare

  • You see now, don't you? The Scourge are countless in number and infinite in hunger. I've fought them for most of my life, and accomplished nothing except outliving... everyone else. The Crucible is yours now. You must carry on the war. When you assault them in the ravaged lands, you can steal some of their power. The Crucible will absorb the Corruption of those you slay. Do what you know you must.

Demonic Scourge

  • Those horrific creatures... I look at them and I wonder... what part of them thinks? Some don't have heads. Some are just monstrous claws or mouths... what if they don't think at all? What if something else does the thinking, and they're just drones? Stomping a few ants on the surface does nothing to harm the underground hive...

Flesh Scourge

  • They hunger for flesh. That's their primary drive. They do seem capable of thought, but I've never been able to communicate with them. I suppose I wouldn't have much to say to a rabbit if I was starving...

Pale Scourge

  • he pale demons are blind, but that just makes them more dangerous. They have other ways of finding their victims... they are especially drawn to the smell of fear. They'll still sense you, though, no matter what.

Runes

  • The runes on our armour essentially capture and shape starlight. Sounds poetic, but don't be fooled. The smiths of the Kalguur turned these runes towards killing work long ago, as soon as they discovered that they could compel arrows to find their mark and blades to bite deeper. The greatest smiths became known as artificers, and produced work of singular genius. There weren't many such relics, but there didn't need to be.

The Blood Crucible

  • They're out there, Exile. The demons. They're ravaging and pillaging and consuming all around us, even as we speak. You can't see them yet... but you will. The Blood Crucible will take you to them, and perhaps that killing talent of yours can make a difference.

Chaos

  • The Blood Crucible represents a pact between the entity known as Chaos and the bloodlines of the High Priests of the Vaal, forged long ago in the height of the empire's madness. I am the last of the sole remaining bloodline, so if I die, the Crucible will cease to function. That is why you must continue on in my place.

Other Wraeclasts

  • Countless times, I have seen the works of man reduced to nothing under a colossal tide of horror. Through countless Shifts, I only saw one Wraeclast survive. It was a world dominated by the shade of High Templar Venarius. You don't want to go there, believe me.
  • We're on our own.
