Withered Heart

Dropped from withered enemies. Used as a crafting ingredient.

The heart is a pump, nothing more, designed to push precious blood around the circulatory system, so that our weak and feeble frames can function. Yet, metaphysically, it is the most important organ, for it houses our emotional centre, the very essence of what makes us human.

A withered heart isn’t just a heart that has languished. Nor is it just a heart that is drained of blood. No, a withered heart has had all the humanity leeched from it, emptied of emotion, or connection, of self.
