Scion
Scion character class
Scion select

Scion in the character selection screen (prior verion 3.0.0)

The daughter of corrupt nobles, the Scion was exiled to Wraeclast for killing her husband on their wedding night. She is aligned with all three core attributes - strength, dexterity and intelligence, which places her in the center of the passive skill tree. This unique position allows her to develop into almost any type of character build, while lacking the dedicated specialisation that the other six classes offer.

Because of her high learning curve, she's initially unavailable to new players. The player must rescue the Scion, who can be found in the final area of Act 3, just before the fight with the final boss of this act. Killing the boss is not required to free the Scion. This can be done on in any league to unlock her as an accessible character.

Unlocking the Scion

To unlock Scion you have to find her in Upper Sceptre of God in Act 3 and free her from cage.

Upon freeing her:

Scion: Though we were worlds apart before, exile has brought us together.

Back in Oriath, there were those that referred to me as the wonder child, but as you've likely discovered, titles mean little here. Wonder, Exile, Monster, Hero... It's not the name that defines you. It's what you do that makes you what you are in Wraeclast.

Thank you. You have given me what matters most: the freedom to finish what I started.

Unlocking the Scion grants an achievement:

Text and Speech

The Scion is voiced by Ayse Tezel.

Intro speech

"The youngest daughter of a respected family. Dresses, dances, suitors... a fortunate life for one fortunately born. My life... had I not been different. Had I not thought more clearly, learned more quickly, dreamed more deeply and darkly than any child should.

There seems to be no limit to what I can do, no walls containing my talents. To my parents, I was a raw nugget to be battered and moulded into a prize for admiration, for envy... for sale. That life died on a wedding bed in Theopolis.

Today, Wraeclast offers me a new life, written not by birth, nor family, nor society. This life will be written to answer but one question: Who am I?"


Character Dialogue

(Creating a new Scion): "A Scion is perfection in mind, body, and grace. The crowning glory of our civilization. Offering us Hope, offering us Light. But you only gave us Murder and Darkness. May Wraeclast embrace you as we cannot, for your very presence has become too painful to bear." -- High Templar Dominus

When you right click (by accident): "Neither the time nor place."

Achieving Level 2: "Exile is a lesson, and I've always been a quick study."

Achieving Level 3: "Life is growth, even in a graveyard."

Achieving Level 5: "I live, I learn, I kill."

Achieving Level 10: "Building my nightmare, death by death." or "I just might earn my 'wonder child' title yet."

Achieving Level 15: "Prior to exile I was but a shadow of myself."

Achieving Level 20: "Power corrupts, while corruption empowers."

Achieving Level 30: "I've become a walking nightmare."

Locations

On the Twilight Strand (when waking up): "Why not just execute us and be done with it, Dominus?"

On the Twilight Strand: "It's impossible, yet somehow I know this place." (replaced)

On Lioneye's Watch: "Letters of exile? Mine said 'matricide' and 'consorting with the unholy'. The bastard deserved it."

On the Coast: "Nessa cares, Bestel laughs, and Tarkleigh fights on. Where do they find the strength?"

On the Submerged Passage: "I've survived the hungry dead, and the ravenous living. What's a little bit of darkness?"

On the Flooded Depths: "Tracking through the bowels of my exile... A little unseeming for someone of my birth and status, don't you think, mother dearest?"

On the Ledge: "This is like waking from one of my dreams."

On the Climb: "My heart beats faster, my breath shorter. Up there, something is waiting for me."

On the Lower Prison: "I know this smell. Age old, yet as fresh to me as the day I used my unholy gifts to end my marriage."

On the Prisoner's Gate: "My eyes are open, yet the nightmare continues."

On the Ship Graveyard: "To reach the truth, it's through the Siren's realm I must walk."

On the Slums: "This could've been Oriath, yet The Cataclysm didn't reach across the sea. Why not?"

On the Crematorium: "Axiom Prison, the Chamber of Sins, this Crematorium - places where a man can make his own nightmares manifest."

On the Weathered Carving (Coast): "I was taught that the Karui were beasts. Closer to monkey than man. What else were the Templar wrong about?"

On the Weathered Carving (Tidal Island): "The Karui wiped the Eternal Empire from the face of this coast, yet rocks are all that remain of them. It makes no sense."

On the Weathered Carving (Climb): "It infects living flesh and bone. Even the very earth - perhaps I'm infected too."

Unique NPC Dialogue

Bestel's Introduction: "Judging by those eyes of yours, I'd best count you a friend. I wouldn't last long as a foe. The name's Bestel, captain of the good ship 'Merry Gull'. Swift and pretty she was. Nothing like the High Templar's rubbish scow that brought you here. Alas the Merry Gull is gone... my crew is gone. But my wits remain... after a fashion."

Nessa's Introduction: "Welcome to our home away from home... for what it's worth. I'm Nessa. That putrid giant you just laid to rest? That was Hillock. You're lucky; he's eaten stronger exiles than you. Don't count on that luck lasting. It's in short supply here in Wraeclast. Still, you've rid us of a curse, and we owe you our thanks."

Grigor, on Clarissa: "When you've had your eyes-full of my twisted visage turns those fine jellies of yours eastward. A copper-headed lass and her boy-mate, they've procured themselves some strife."
