Henry Hawthorne alludes cryptically to a part of Kingsmouth’s past rising to haunt them yet again. Someone is digging where they shouldn’t, and they have to be stopped.
Dialogue
Initial Cutscene
- Henry Hawthorne: Kingsmouth is not a town without it's blight, it's fallow seasons. In times past, these lands have borne bad fruit. The demons are plucking forgotten apples that should have been left to rot on the boughs of Kingsmouth's tree, planted in unsanctified soil. By apples, I mean bodies. The tree represents, uh, graves, and the unsanctified soil means, well, unsactified soil. Unmarked graves – mass graves. They operated with rationale, our Illuminated ancestors. I'm sure of it! I mean, who am I to question these men of action? Those men of God. Even if they did stumble in their faith? Well ..that can happen to all of us. We forget to say grace. We lie, we cheat, we fornicate, we do worse. We have more immediate concerns than being ministers of past sins. What they are digging up is something that should remain buried. Hidden from inquisitive eyes and wagging tongues. “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust”.

Report

Darknesses converge.
The one that came from the sea is eager to meet those that breed in the soil. They attract each other.
Kingsmouth is rich with occult energy. The witches. The miners. The cultists. All were haunted and all met violent ends.
The draug can sense these historical wounds. They peel back the skin and expand their forces.
We cannot change Kingsmouth's past. But we must strive to learn from it, and to keep the draug away.
Illuminati
I knew you'd dig into Kingsmouth's past eventually. I didn't expect the draug to be digging with you.
Keep in mind that Kingsmouth's not on trial here. Mix occult roots with small-town pettiness and witch-hunts become inevitable. Burning one's neighbors is just the local sport. The history of haunted miners and offshoot cults is equally sad, and equally darkened by the occult air.
Our focus remains the draug. They're becoming more adept at digging up the past and turning it against us.
We've buried a lot of bones in Kingsmouth. You need to keep them buried.

“They that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth” (Isaiah 38:18)
All of Kingsmouth’s a pit.
These awakened remains – the witches, the miners, the cultists who buried each other living and dead – are evidence of Kingsmouth’s history of fervour and violence.
Not all were evil: the witches, merely housewives; the miners, slaves to a paycheck; the cultists, weak-willed wanderers. What unites them all is Kingsmouth’s particular breed of restlessness, one that is being dug up and wielded by the draug.
The question is, to what purpose?
