*Spoilers* The Torture Victims

[hollowleviathan]

Actually, I was on about one of my pet peeves here, which is that the game strongly implies that Alexander has been abducting and murdering hundreds of people over the past few years alone, and no one seems to have noticed.

People have noticed! Not only do they know for a fact about The Gatherers snatching anyone and everyone they come across in the forests, that is, the gruesome monsters populating the halls, but the local Watch has been hunting and killing them, and Alexander sees visions of pitchforks and torches, and executes his remaining human servants, possibly soon after Daniel arrives, realizing that this new orb is the solution to all his problems.
