"An aberration that defies all explanation, borne of the Distortion and revered by the Onyx Kinsmen. Almost all information about this entity is sourced from that enigmatic clan. All else is hearsay.

It has been reported to manifest in multiple places at once. Its capacity for deceit and ruthless cunning is peerless.

Statis' compatriot Braelor dueled me to a standstill. With our blades locked, the ronin lunged for the lethal blow.

The Devourer is not one for honor or loyalty. But he sensed weakness. Hesitation. An easy prey. The serpent ensnared both my assailants in a dimensional vortex. Assuring me they were as good as dead.

Yet, Statis must have struck a bargain with Signus. He escaped his banishment unscathed."

Once there was a great cosmic serpent that could devour essence for something far beyond. And with it, the serpent brought Signus as its envoy from the Distortion.

An assassin in purple robes, an enigma that had no records from the annals of history manifesting in and out from a dimension far from Terraria.

You, The Terrarian had faced Providence, a mighty Goddess of Profaned Fire and defeated her under your boundless tenacity and might. Now at her empty temple, you held the glowing rune made from her core, dripping with unholy essence.

The rune glows mighty as a beacon, and like a moth, the envoy came seeking. Bursting out from the shadows with his dark blade and cosmic lantern. Burning without limit, showing an image of another plane of existence.

Now, face your next challenge.
