Lore[]
The Curator's been talking to Miclan and Dessti, and even though I haven't overheard everything, it seems that they are hiding the last piece of the Dark Forest armor set. Something about how, if the bones of the fallen are to walk again, they must be with a being they trust to stand tall even if they're the last standing.
