The abyss is pure darkness. Once it begins to spread, it is difficult to stop. It is unrelenting, and threatens to swallow everything. I was afflicted with the taint of the abyss when I was injured there. The Lady Frigga was able to soothe and mend my wounds but she was unable to remove the abyss from within me. I wear a pendent that was gifted to me. It has slowed the spread but I fear it might not be enough in time.
