Yhea... i tried to ignore killing some.... i want to look up lore notes on fextra but nothing. The crow that talks brings up darkness. Im no lore expert but i believe the painted world shows an example of a world without flame... i guess how the citizens slowly turn to beasts and go mad. Hence why they ask to show her the flame in there and set things right. Sure glad i explored throughly. It was nice to snipe the corvians in the church. I would have been rekt otherwise.
