Quest-Related Events[edit]

When you meet her for the first time, she will be sitting in a ritual circle consisting of corpses. Arana runs up to the scene.

Arana: "Nathari, no! What have you done?"
Nathari: "The hour is upon us, dear sister! You must feel it. The darkness!"
Arana: "You sacrificed our own people! Oh, poor Saagan!"

<Arana runs over to Saagan's body in despair.>

She can be spoken to after this exchange.

"I should have expected Arana to take up with outsiders. She always rejected the old ways.
This is no place for one who doesn't hear the spirits of the Reach. You're not worthy to walk these sacred halls."
Worthy? You sacrificed your own people.
"And every one of them gave up their life willingly. They gladly died to awaken the Dark Heart from its slumber! Arana may deny it, but this is the day Namira has been preparing us for.
We give our souls to the dark in return for eternal life!"
And none of your people refused to lay down and die for you?
"You sound like Bradan. True believers see the honor in this sacrifice, but not everyone can overcome the fear that whispers in their ears. The flesh quails even when the spirit is strong.
No matter. We help them complete their journey."
In other words, you kill them, whether they agree to die or not.
"Why does this matter to you, outsider? The Ghostsong hunters—the true hunters—gather below, ready to give their lives for the Spirit Queen. Bradan will too, when his time comes.
I shall complete the ritual and awaken the Dark Heart! "
Lady Belain is using you. She doesn't care about your clan.

Immediately after this conversation she will teleport away and say:

Nathari: "The clan chose me, Arana! The Spirit Queen demands death and I shall give it to her!"
Arana: "Damn it. I should have never left."
Arana: "No. I can't allow this. We need to find Bradan and the others."

She can later be found in The Dark Descent where she will scream at you before teleporting away and leaving you to fight her subordinates:

Nathari: "The Dark Heart stirs! You can't stop the prophecy from being fulfilled!"

As you delve deeper to The Dark Descent you can hear her performing the ritual and she sacrifices her followers:

Nathari: "The darkness, it responds! The Dark Heart awakens!"
Nathari: "Give your lives so the Dark Heart may beat again!"
Nathari: "Too late, sister! The prophecy is fulfilled!"
