You're Consul has tasked you to retrieve a holocron for your Clan. As you set out, your coordinates lead you to the frozen tundra on the planet of Vandor. Hidden deep within its vast mountain ranges, you discover an ancient citadel. Upon entering, you see that the glowing holocron you seek is nested neatly on a pedestal in the center of a great room. Suddenly from the moment you step into the room, several walls slide down, sealing the room shut and leaving you in complete darkness. As your eyes adjust to the sudden darkness, an ancient wraith appears before you. Letting out a deep haunting laugh, it glares at you and smiles.

“You will not survive this night unless of course, you can face my challenge. You will be met by three spirits, The spirit of a loved one, the spirit of regret, and the spirit of an enemy. If you can survive them all, then you will be free to leave with the holocron you seek. However if you fail then you die here. Let us begin!”
