    Synopsis:

    Avatar Shadowheart meets with her parents once again, who have been imprisoned for decades. A vision of Shar appears and demands Shadowheart sacrifice her parents.
    Note: there are two major tracks in this scene - if SH comes to it as a loyal Sharran who is intent on taking control of the church at her goddess's command, or as someone who has turned from Shar and is coming to rescue her parents.

    How to trigger:

    1. Go to grotto with shadowheart
    2. Talk to Viconia
    3. Beat Viconia
    4. Talk to Viconia
    5. Go to Chamber of Loss
    6. Talk to Parents
