A Hard Miracle
Our first, and only, Einherjar from Camille. Why is that?
I'm guessing it would be bad taste to make a joke about being stoned here.
This isn't at all like Ward said! This is... tragic.
A basilisk? A cockatrice? Or... a gorgon? This seems a bit more than any of those beasts could handle... ...Only the people were petrified, nothing else. And there isn't a single person that hasn't been shattered. That's proof that whatever did this was no mere beast... it had intellect!

You have earned the right to live. To live? Yes. The right to life.

And that's it for Kashell's recruitment. If we go to Camille before his concentration, we can visit the unpetrified village and talk to NPCs:
And going to the ruins:
After recruiting Kashell, we can go back to Camille, which is still mostly filled with petrified and shattered people. However, in the graveyard:
And indeed, there are useless NPCs in the church. Heading a bit west from the girl:
It appears so. Even if I carry this, I won't be punished?
The Vainslayer is a powerful greatsword that has 50% increased Dark damage and has a 5% chance of breaking.
