Torchlight's page

  1. The Mining Town

    You arrived in Torchlight, a mining town built above deposits of Ember. The mineral promised power, but corrupted Ember could twist living creatures into monsters. You found the sage Syl and her companion Brink fighting attackers from the mine. They had come looking for Syl's missing teacher, Master Alric. When Brink pursued the creatures underground, you followed to help him.

  2. Alric’s Corruption

    You caught up with Brink in the Orden Mines and encountered Alric. He had tried to prolong his life with an Ember transfusion and fallen under its corrupting influence. He transformed Brink into a monster and infected you as well. You defeated your former ally, but the corruption remained inside you. Syl promised to find a way to remove it.

  3. Beneath Torchlight

    You descended through the Necropolis and the buried Estherian ruins, following the way deeper beneath town. Syl searched for knowledge that could cure you. Beyond the Tu'Tara Caverns and Molten Prison, you reached the lost dwarven fortress. There stood the Ember Forge. Syl had learned how to use this ancient device to strip away the corruption while preserving the strength Ember had given you.

  4. The Ember Forge

    You stood on the forge's platform while Syl performed the cleansing ritual. Your treatment was interrupted when she was taken captive, leaving you to follow her into the Black Palace. You found her imprisoned inside a magical field. Shade stood in your way, and Ordrak threatened you from within his domain. You killed Shade, freed Syl and continued toward Alric.

  5. Ordrak’s LairThe ending

    You fought Alric in the Black Palace, but he fled deeper into the dungeon. He served Ordrak, the ancient creature behind the corruption of Torchlight's Ember. In the lair below, Alric sacrificed himself to bring his master forth. You faced Ordrak and killed him. Your journey ended with Alric dead, Syl rescued and the creature poisoning the mines defeated beneath the town.
