 Guiding the Dark Urge in their time of need is [[Sceleritas Fel]]. A vile and loyal servant, Fel lives only to see the Dark Urge return to their rightful, bloodstained path and urges them to commit some of the most lurid acts of violence.

-* Tearing off [[Gale]]'s arm when first meeting him. This prevents you from recruiting him.
-* On meeting [[Timber the Squirrel]] at the [[Druid Grove]], the Dark Urge will punt the squirrel with no input. The player can only control this choice if they have [[Speak with Animals]] active.

-* Killing [[Alfira]] while she is visiting the camp (Or a [[Dragonborn]] [[bard]] named [[Quil]] if [[Alfira]] is unavailable for any reason), leading to the first meeting of [[Sceleritas Fel]]. The player can not control this choice.
-* Killing [[Minthara]] after sleeping with her if the Dark Urge sided with the Goblin Camp against the Grove.
-==== Act Two ====
-* Killing [[Isobel]]. The player can choose whether or not to do this, but will lead to a different event. Killing Isobel rewards the Dark Urge with the [[Slayer]] form.
-* Killing your lover or closest companion. The player can choose to warn their companion of this, or choose to simply kill them. Doing this rewards the Dark Urge with the [[Slayer]] form.

-===The Urge===
 {{SpoilerBox|unhide=1|
-This is the Dark Urge's Personal Quest. The Dark Urge, no matter your choice of race or class, will have unique choices exclusive to the Dark Urge, many of which are disturbed and violent. Many of these choices can be avoided, either by simply not selecting them at all, or by passing Saving Throws to resist the Urge in situations it can not be avoided.
+==The Urge==
+The Dark Urge's primary personal quest is called [[The Urge]], and guides the player as they interact with their character's butler and as they uncover more of their past.
-During the story, and your interactions with Sceleritas Fel, whether you indulge in your urges or not, you slowly learn more of your past, and why you feel the need to kill others.
 ====Act One====
 During Act One, the Dark Urge will eventually have a long rest event where they murder a camp follower. If she is available, this will always be [[Alfira]]. Otherwise, it will be [[Quill]]. Soon after, in a separate long rest event, their [[Sceleritas Fel|butler]] will introduce himself, and gift the player the [[Deathstalker Cloak]].
 ====Act Two====

 The only reason the Dark Urge is not within this position is because [[Orin the Red]], envious of the Dark Urge's power and control over the cult, betrayed them, inflicted amnesia upon them, and took control of the cult herself.
-After this revelation, the Dark Urge may follow the story just as a normal character may. They can attempt to restore their original partnership with [[Gortash]], which is still available to other Origins under a different context, but the important choice the Dark Urge makes is whether they restore themselves as [[Bhaal]]'s Chosen, or simply fight Orin with no intention to retake the mantle.
+After confronting Orin, the Dark Urge may restore themselves as [[Bhaal]]'s Chosen, or refuse the title.
+Should they refuse to become [[Bhaal]]'s chosen, the Dark Urge will be drained of their father's blood and killed, but will be reborn by [[Withers]], free from the Urge.
