Legend

You head over to the ruins when you can sense this Azoth is located. Nothing attacks you during your search, but Azoth does start speaking to you again.

"…Mmmmm, I see…I sense you are a servant of the Dark One. I know him well mortal and you are wise to worship such a powerful being…do you wish more power? Is that why you wish to speak to me directly? Well enter then."

Suddenly a trapdoor opens up that you didn't notice before.

"Come to me and I shall be able to instruct you greater in the ways of the Infernal Realm and the Dark One. We are on the same side after all."

You cautiously descend into the darkness below and follow the strong magical aura that Azoth is giving off. Eventually you reach a collapsed passage with two doors on either side, one leads to a small empty room, but the other opens up for you.

When you enter the room you're expecting to face some huge demon with great big horns and wings, imagine your surprise when you see a small blue crystal in the center of the room resting on a pedestal.

Azoth is trapped inside it! Still, there is no reason to be foolish.

"Greetings mortal…so good of you to come. You don't know how long I've been trapped down here. It was only until the destruction of your village that enough suffering awakened me and filled me with enough energy to take control of some of my surroundings. I'd say I'm just starting to get back into the swing of things."
"I saw your handy work above ground. Brought the whole village back to life I see."
"Yes…among other things…would you like to see someone in particular?"

You get the strong impression he's either referring to your wife or parents. He's probably testing you, but you've long since abandoned such feelings of sentimentality…or have you?

"Eh, everyone is dead, they really aren't the same anymore." You respond unemotionally.
"True, but I wonder if you are really that detached from such emotions as you seem…"
