Now, after progressing through the story and witnessing the growing threat of the Order, you find yourself in a strange twist of fate. You’re tasked with building a new Gatekeeper to defend the Isles from the very threat you were once seen as part of. It’s ironic how quickly roles can shift in this chaotic realm.
