Your old self believes Gramuk is influencing the Chancellor into making poor war decisions, allowing the Goblins to move deeper into Thaermore. Your brother however was captured by the Goblins before he could erase his memory, and is being tortured at Vela, a once prosperous port city destroyed by the Goblins. This was why your memory was erased, to protect you from Gramuk and his goblin horde. A powerful Goblin Shaman by the name of 'Gramuk' is using a technique called 'Temporal Linking' to find the people who found the prized jewel.

Opening the security box that belongs to your amulet, you find another sealed note along with the 'Crux of Ages'. Arriving in Blackwater, the player will eventually discover a secret passageway leading to the vault. Lilith points you towards Blackwater, where the vault is located, and she shows you her amulet to prove she is not lying. After doing the deed, Lilith says that the amulet is a key to 'The Underground Repository', a secret vault where important people keep their valuables. When the player finds Lilith, she is willing to explain the purpose of your amulet, but not before you dispatch a Hive Queen which has been plaguing Tangletree Forest. They have also captured Grimmhold, a fortress which use to cut a safe path through Tangletree Forest to the other side. With the Commonwealth Guards away, Goblins have taken advantage of the situation and destroyed the village of Elderhollow. The Chancellor has ordered all soldiers underground to find the Orakur, leaving settlements to fend for themselves. The war is being waged due to the theft of a prized jewel known as the 'Crux of Ages', stolen from Bastion Spire, the capital of Thaermore. Talking to the locals in Aridell reveals you are in Eastern Thaermore, and that the country is currently at war with the Orakur, a race of underground dwellers. After retrieving the amulet from the coffin of the recently deceased aristocrat Adler Keldam, the writer asks you to find a woman by the name of Lilith who lives in Tangletree Forest, in the 'Heart of the Woods' and show her the amulet. The writer continues, that if the player wants to know his real identity he must retrieve his amulet from Eversleep Cemetery, found to the north. This new note elaborates on your situation, that your memory was erased with a special serum and that you were placed into hiding for your own protection.
