The White Mantle resurface in the Forsaken Thicket
A Pact squad tracking Mordrem into the Forsaken Thicket uncovers the long-exiled White Mantle, who have rebuilt their strength in secret and seek to resurrect the mursaat Lazarus.
While the wider world reeled from Mordremoth's war, a Pact squadron pushing into the Forsaken Thicket stumbled onto a far older enemy. The White Mantle — the human cult that had once ruled Kryta in service to the mursaat before their fall — had not been destroyed. In exile they had thrived, rebuilding their forces and hoarding ancient magic.
The heroes learned that the Mantle, under figures such as Inquisitor Matthias Gabrel, were working to resurrect Lazarus the Dire, the last of the Unseen Ones, as the keystone of a campaign to retake Kryta. Their reappearance set the stage for the Krytan civil war that would dominate the seasons to come.
