woefully , the link to the game for the Lords of Fortune is just as unsatisfying , although they do have prospicient - clip lover favorite Isabela as their faction contact . Out of all the factions , the Lords feel misplaced in the storyand do n’t correspond in anywhere , giving the feeling that they only subsist to put Rook in soupcon with Taash .

Overall , the Mourn Watch isa fascinating group which is wonderfully explained through Emmrichand his intriguing personal questline . cabal contacts Myrna and Vorgoth are always brilliant to interact with , being suitably nervous and ennoble when act the mathematical group .
