First came a grinding sound, as if two pieces of clay were scraping against each other. Then - a deep breath, perhaps the first one in centuries. The warden woke up, brought to life by an unnatural calling, driven by a single purpose: to kill the intruder.

What was it? A human encased in clay? Or a clay figure brought to life by some ancient forces? Did it act on its own, or was someone pulling the strings? I do not know, and I doubt I ever will. It seems to be yet another of the ancient secrets buried deep beneath Vale Sangora.
