The Dirks appear ignorant of its true nature, using its eerie luminescence as a natural torch. However, prolonged proximity to the Orb induces vivid nightmares and paranoid aggression among the less strong-willed members. Three separate journals recovered from deceased bandits describe “shifting walls” and “whispers from the pool.” IV.
