LADYMOFFITT: /* Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar */

= Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar=
[[Asildu]] begins as a scholar who warns mortals about sorcery, framing it as a dangerous imbalance that draws the attention of the [[Heralds]]. His pursuit of forbidden knowledge and artifacts binds him to them, and for a time he becomes their instrument, channeling their power and delivering their wrath through battles, invasions, and destructive visions. He alternates between moments of clarity, where he shares warnings and fragmented memories, and periods where he openly fights on behalf of the [[Heralds]], summoning drakes, storms, and elemental fury against mortals. Eventually, adventurers follow the trail of artifacts he recalls, each tied to his corruption, until the destruction of the final crown severs his bond. Free but scarred, [[Asildu]] admits his mistakes, torn between guilt and bitterness at how he was treated during his fall. He continues to reflect on the lies and truths he once carried, sometimes aligning with mortals and sometimes challenging them with harsh words. By the end of his arc, [[Asildu]] remains a figure caught between victim and villain - once a tool of the Heralds, now a fractured man trying to define his place in the struggle for Elanthia.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |Breath of the Heralds [[Asildu]], a Human Scholar, made his debut at an Overhealers Anonymous meeting, presenting himself as knowledgeable about the [[Heralds]] while maintaining an air of mystery. His primary focus was warning against the use of sorcery, which he described as a dangerous "disease" requiring a cure. When questioned about the missing adventurers, [[Asildu]] deflected, suggesting that finding a cure for sorcery might lead to their discovery, while denying any Herald involvement in their disappearance.

He clarifies that while he doesn't have all the answers and has been bombarded with questions, his aim is to understand and share what he knows rather than to interrogate or be interrogated. He explains his deep study of the Heralds and his personal connection to them, emphasizing that their power and their stance on magic's misuse are central to his concerns. He acknowledges his limitations and lack of answers to some questions but assured his commitment to providing insight where possible.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Asildu]] returns to Overhealers Anonymous and was greeted with varying levels of politeness and skepticism. He expressed his belief that the [[Heralds]] are displeased with the current state of magic and argued that sorcery is exacerbating the imbalance causing wild magic. He admitted that he could not provide concrete proof beyond his personal experiences and feelings, which led to considerable debate among adventurers.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Asildu]] provides extensive background on the [[Heralds]], explaining that they are immensely powerful beings focused solely on maintaining balance, without comprehension of mortal concepts like friendship or love. He confirms the [[Heralds]]' desire for sorcery to cease but emphasizes their lack of interest in individual mortals. He suggests that the disappearance of the five people might be coincidental rather than directly caused by the [[Heralds]].

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Asildu]] believes that the increased and widespread use of sorcery over centuries has caused an imbalance, and urges people to curb their use of sorcery before the [[Heralds]] intervene. He warns that if the [[Heralds]] decide to show themselves, it won't be a discussion and likely won't go well for anyone. He states that his connection with the Heralds isn't one of words, and he doesn't know their names, viewing them as focused on the bigger picture rather than individuals. He expresses approval for those who have pledged not to use sorcery and hopes his message will reach more people before it's too late.

He explains the Heralds' motivations to [[Unaka]], emphasizing that they protect the world out of necessity, not affection for mortals. Throughout the evening, he redirects conversation back to the cause of curbing sorcery, reinforcing the event's purpose and [[Miraena]]'s message.

He expresses deep concern about the potential destruction that could be caused by those gathered, pleading with them to reconsider their actions. As the situation escalates, he becomes increasingly distressed, saying the [[Heralds]] are angry and that their wrath has arrived, while attempting to protect [[Miraena]]. He attributes the drake attack to the [[Heralds]]' anger, stating that it is occurring because the warnings were not heeded and the casters didn't listen.

As [[Asildu]] is grilled over the events at [[Knife Clan]], the [[Heralds]] seem to react and cast meteors down on [[Wolf Clan]] and [[Tiger Clan]], encasing them in a similar nature as [[Knife Clan]].

He says that he believed he and [[Miraena]] had shared sufficient information, but now realizes more detail is necessary. He refers to a more formal arrangement being worked on by [[Miraena]] for sharing this knowledge.

He explains that the [[Immortals]] have failed in their duty to guide mortals, leading to the misuse of sorcery and the current imbalance. He emphasizes that pure mana is needed to restore balance and urges adventurers to consider hosting pure mana parties instead of sorcery events.

He states that the [[Heralds]]' patience is running thin with the adventurers' continued use of sorcery, and warns that they are now "skating on thin ice." [[Asildu]] dramatically raises his arms, causing the ground to quake and whip-like vines to emerge, which encase him before receding and leaving no trace of him behind. Following [[Asildu]]'s disappearance, a company of drakes attacks the area.

He insists that he has not lied in the past, claiming his statements are true "as he knows them at the time," and accuses others of twisting his words. When challenged about his choices, [[Asildu]] says the people never care for him and dismisses any suggestion of turning to the Immortals for help, calling them "weaklings." He openly admits he is wrong about some details but bluntly refuses to apologize. In exchanges with [[Ezerak]] and others, he maintains that everyone would act the same in his position, justifying the [[Heralds]]' actions as inevitable. [[Saragos]] presses him about missing people, and [[Asildu]] flatly tells him his wife will not be returned. Eventually, after withstanding a series of magical attacks, Asildu dramatically summons vines that encase him and then vanishes, leaving the adventurers to battle the drakes and heraldic forces he has brought with him.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Asildu]] calls adventurers to [[Kaerna]], announcing that their hubris and addiction to sorcery have doomed them. When they gather outside the southern gate, he chastises them for rejecting his earlier warnings and insists that the [[Heralds]] now empower him to show the truth of their strength. He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion. Throughout, [[Asildu]] maintains that he tried to help and to save lives, but that the adventurers' arrogance and disregard for his message have led to their impending downfall.

He rejects accusations of weakness and instead claims the [[Heralds]] have rewarded him for his loyalty. When challenged, he insists that others never cared to understand him and that his story has always been judged unfairly. He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true. Adventurers mock him throughout, but [[Asildu]] continues to press that they underestimate the [[Heralds]]' power and overestimate their own. He warns that mortals are like rats gnawing at the [[Heralds]]' once perfect house, and that they will no longer be tolerated. [[Asildu]] closes by declaring that death is the only outcome for those who persist in defiance.

He insists that he once tried to warn people, but claims they chose instead to plot his murder and spread lies about him. To him, the attacks serve as both punishment and proof, as he says his life now belongs fully to the [[Heralds]]. [[Asildu]] accuses adventurers of rejecting logic and reason, asserting that intelligence has been lost to arrogance. In battle, he wields his walking stick with deadly agility and repeatedly unleashes elemental power — flame, frost, and storm — against those who oppose him. He mocks his attackers, calling them gnats, and frames their resistance as futile against the strength given to him by the [[Heralds]]. Even as he is injured, he continues to fight fiercely, maintaining that the devastation unfolding is the direct result of mortals' own stubborn choices.

Throughout the invasion, [[Asildu]] alternates between sardonic remarks and calculated assaults, repeatedly healing his own wounds while overwhelming others with fire and frost. He toys with those who confront him, dismissing suggestions that he could turn away from the [[Heralds]], and instead insists that everyone seems content only to kill him. [[Asildu]] directs drakes as well as summons storms and flame waves of his own.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Asildu]] arrives at Gaethrend's Court and immediately asks after [[Miraena]], showing confusion and disorientation when told she left months ago. He admits that his memories are fragmented, acknowledging that he does not always recall events clearly, and that he once stayed away from [[Miraena]] for fear of endangering her. [[Asildu]] reveals that he suppresses the [[Heralds]]' overwhelming anger through the use of magic and a song, though he does not know how long this clarity can last. He expresses doubt about surviving without the [[Heralds]]' connection, explaining that their power is immense and difficult to resist. When pressed, he offers to share what he feels, and unleashes a wave of pure rage upon the group, allowing them to experience the burden he carries before quickly withdrawing it. [[Asildu]] admits he does not wish to be consumed by anger, but remains uncertain whether he has the strength to free himself from the [[Heralds]]' hold. Ultimately, he is seized by their influence mid-conversation, his body twisting unnaturally as he cries out, "The [[Heralds]] demand unwavering submission," before dissolving into sunlight and disappearing.

Pursued by adventurers, he communicates haltingly over the gweth, admitting, "I can't" and later "I'm trying," suggesting he struggles against some unseen force. He says he is in a swamp and wonders if the stones there will protect him. His words show desperation and uncertainty, alternating between seeking refuge and doubting his own safety. [[Asildu]] responds to encouragement from adventurers urging him to remember who he is, but his replies remain fragmented. He repeatedly hints at exhaustion and inner conflict, never directly asking for help but not rejecting it either. His retreat to the Zaulfung and mention of the stones underline his belief that they may provide him shelter from whatever pursues or controls him.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Asildu]] repeatedly insists that nowhere is safe, claiming the [[Heralds]] see him everywhere and that even holy ground or other planes cannot hide him. He explains that his bond to the [[Heralds]] stems from artifacts he studied in his pursuit of knowledge, admitting that he left them where they were rather than collecting them, and that his memories of them are now hazy. He emphasizes that he is not a necromancer or sorcerer, but a scholar who made choices based on information that may have been misleading. While offered [[Truffenyi]]’s mercy and a book of [[Immortals]], [[Asildu]] acknowledges the gestures with gratitude but remains doubtful of deliverance while the [[Heralds]] still hold him. He departs with visible unease, leaving the group with the impression that remembering and locating the artifacts may be key to his eventual freedom.

Despite his vagueness, he emphasizes that finding and destroying the artifacts will not only help him but also benefit the [[Immortals]]. He departs after urging caution, leaving the adventurers to debate their next steps and begin planning the search.

He admits the artifact was highly malicious and dangerous, something he once believed was right for the [[Heralds]] to wield but now sees differently. [[Asildu]] compares its removal to taking a vital weapon from a powerful [[Immortal]], underscoring the importance of eliminating more of them. He stresses that studying such artifacts is perilous, pointing to his own condition as evidence, and cautions that only the [[Heralds]] themselves could wield them safely. Although he cannot yet recall where other artifacts lie, he promises to keep searching his fragmented memories and share whatever he learns in the future.

He recalls fragments of memory about an artifact’s location, describing an island setting with cliffs, a tall weathered marble stone, seabirds overhead, and nearby dangers. He emphasizes that he always avoided cities, so the site lies outside populated areas. While his recollections are vague, he admits treasure hunting was once his favorite pursuit and hopes the group can piece together the puzzle. He withdraws once again, citing the risk of drawing dangerous attention by lingering too long among others.

He insists that he is acting with the best of intentions, explaining that removing the artifacts aids both him and the [[Immortals]].

Before leaving, he accepts small gifts from those present, reiterates his focus on recalling the next artifact’s location, and vows to return soon with clearer guidance.

He warns the group not to touch it, urging caution and explaining that simply being near it carries danger.

=Messenger Miraena, Voice of the Heralds of Elanthia=
[[Miraena]] begins as a humble farmer who claims visions from the [[Heralds]], warning that sorcery is tearing holes in the fabric of reality. She pleads with adventurers to abandon sorcery, offering blue irises as symbols of her mission, and endures skepticism, hostility, and doubt while holding firm to her cause. As events escalate, she defends [[Asildu]] and insists the [[Heralds]]’ punishments, such as the encasement of the Clans, are necessary to make people listen. Yet over time, she grows conflicted, struggling with the [[Heralds]]’ severity and with [[Asildu]]’s shifting behavior, and she admits confusion about why the [[Immortals]] allowed her to be deceived. [[Miraena]] eventually participates in efforts to help mortals directly, from guiding beams of light to stabilizing sorcerous orbs, even while questioning her beliefs. At a vigil, she acknowledges her mistakes, apologizes to those she once opposed, and seeks reconciliation with the [[Immortals]]. Her arc closes with a farewell, where she warns that wild magic is already corrupting the world and urges vigilance, leaving behind both sorrow and determination.

A simple farmer and messenger from a distant village, she claims to have had a "vision" from the [[Heralds]] in which the ultimate disastrous effects of the use of sorcery were made clear to her. She pleads with the gathered adventurers to cease the use of sorcery for the greater good, including for the safety of her distant village. She appears naive about city life and somewhat fearful of adventurers, but is determined in her mission. She also gives blue irises to several people, telling them that she has grown them herself and that they will serve as a reminder for who she is trying to save.

=Steward of Recursion Liraxes, Warden of Adaptation=
[[Liraxes]] first appears as a being concerned with the imbalance of mana and the weakening of planar boundaries, presenting itself as methodical and calculating. It begins constructing a crystalline machine to measure, calculate, and eventually manipulate events to restore Balance, urging adventurers to cast sorcery despite its dangers. Over time, it frames sorcery not as corruption but as the key to countering the [[Heralds]], insisting that large-scale casting distracts them and empowers the [[Immortals]]. [[Liraxes]] presents itself as neutral, focused solely on probabilities and Balance, but it gradually assumes a commanding role, directing mortals to defend the machine and follow its calculations. It warns of [[Herald]] attacks, coordinates defenses, and transforms the machine into both a measuring device and a weapon for the [[Immortals]]’ eventual strike. Even as it claims not to act out of faith, it pushes sorcery as a necessary tool, regardless of mortal unease. By the time drakes assault its machine, [[Liraxes]] is firmly positioned as a strategist and overseer, a cold steward of Balance whose success depends on mortals obeying its directives.

It suggests that some sorcery might be necessary to counter the imbalance, though "teleologic" magic is deemed unacceptable.

It explains that its calculations show no circumstances where the missing people can be returned without resolving the current imbalance in magical energy, and confirms that the device being constructed will have no direct impact on the plane beyond physically existing in it. It emphasizes that the amount of mana manipulated is more important than the number of spells cast, but all casting is helpful in restoring balance. It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

It states that while the overall Balance is still likely to be maintained, the conflict between [[Heralds]] and [[Immortals]] does not resolve in this action. When asked about cooperation, it dismisses the idea that the [[Heralds]] would ever work with mortals or [[Immortals]], pointing to their refusal to allow sorcery earlier. It clarifies that additional sorcery remains useful - both to irritate the [[Heralds]] and to help restore Balance to mana. Regarding other risks, it notes that data is scarce but current probabilities do not indicate additional threats arising with the prisoners' release. Concluding, [[Liraxes]] reiterates his role as observer and departs, leaving instructions to watch for [[Immortal]] activity and be prepared to respond.

It states that their power is gathering, and the critical moment is approaching. [[Liraxes]] emphasizes that [[Immortal]] victory is improbable under normal conditions but possible if mortals act at certain junctions, and it insists it will not reveal [[Immortal]] plans directly for fear of leaks to [[Herald]] allies. Instead, it announces that it will repurpose the machine and will need adventurers to contribute mana to a complex sorcerous pattern at the right time. This act, it explains, will disrupt the [[Heralds]], acting as a powerful distraction even if not outright destructive. [[Liraxes]] acknowledges that too much sorcery could become an issue eventually, but argues that the current crisis requires it and aligns with the long-term survival of mortals. Before departing, it assures the group that it will send word when the Immortals make their move, instructing them to watch the skies for signs that the time has come.

The machine's activation causes shifting symbols, energy surges, and eventually the dramatic reappearance of the Heart constellation, which [[Liraxes]] declares a successful result. It explains that the reconfiguration is a step toward restoring balance and that the machine may serve as a weapon against the [[Heralds]] when the [[Immortals]] launch their full assault. [[Liraxes]] adds that assistance will be needed later in constructing a sorcerous pattern to empower the machine further. After urging readiness and confirming that it remains functional, it encases itself in crystal and vanishes, leaving the adventurers to debate its intentions.

[[Liraxes]] clarifies that the [[Heralds]] are not directly responsible for Wild Magic but have worsened it by suppressing sorcery, which it identifies as essential to maintaining Balance. It reports that the [[Heralds]] siphon mana, especially holy mana, weakening the [[Immortals]], though sorcerous mana remains untouchable to them. Finally, it emphasizes that casting sorcery in large amounts is the key to restoring Balance, even if many find the practice distasteful.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |Conqueror of the Wilds [[Unaka]], Maul of [[Truffenyi]] made her first appearance at the Eye of Truffenyi, in the Crossing Temple. She shared a vision bestowed upon her by Truffenyi, filled with symbols such as a changing disk. The vision bestowed upon her new abilities, such as understanding multiple languages and the power to cast Cleric spells, despite being a Paladin. The vision also warned that while cross-realm casting is acceptable, necromancy and high Sorcery are dangerous. Truffenyi's message emphasized the need to protect and safeguard civilization.

When asked about a vision involving a wooden box transforming into an orb, she considers whether it might relate to the Bulwark. The group then discusses the possibility that someone is stealing magical energy, and [[Unaka]], as a voice for [[Truffenyi]], agrees to pray for answers about the [[Heralds]]' involvement in these events. They plan an excursion to [[Zengmodaleth]], where they hope to observe the disturbances more clearly due to the lack of Life mana in the area.

In the end, she departs calmly, leaving behind a reminder that her words are not meant to persuade but to provoke thought.

She admits that despite her efforts, she found no clear answers in her visions from [[Truffenyi]], though she believes the visions still hold wisdom not yet uncovered. [[Unaka]] describes how the divine visions feel overwhelming, like a waterfall pouring into an acorn, and how she sorts through them to find guidance, but in this case, nothing emerged. She apologizes for not being able to provide direction, but reassures the group that she has faith in their ability to act with heart and purpose. When pressed further, she clarifies that no additional insight arose, even on simpler questions such as whether the [[Immortals]] wanted or could help [[Asildu]] at all.

=Avatar of the Summoning Valenal, Elemental Conduit of Elanthia=
[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft. His research allowed entities from the [[Elemental Planes]] to influence his mind, and these entities are now concerned about recent energetic disruptions amid the chaos of wild magic.

He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]].

This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy.

LADYMOFFITT: /* Conqueror of the Wilds Unaka, Maul of Truffenyi */

= Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar=
[[Asildu]] begins as a scholar who warns mortals about sorcery, framing it as a dangerous imbalance that draws the attention of the [[Heralds]]. His pursuit of forbidden knowledge and artifacts binds him to them, and for a time he becomes their instrument, channeling their power and delivering their wrath through battles, invasions, and destructive visions. He alternates between moments of clarity, where he shares warnings and fragmented memories, and periods where he openly fights on behalf of the [[Heralds]], summoning drakes, storms, and elemental fury against mortals. Eventually, adventurers follow the trail of artifacts he recalls, each tied to his corruption, until the destruction of the final crown severs his bond. Free but scarred, [[Asildu]] admits his mistakes, torn between guilt and bitterness at how he was treated during his fall. He continues to reflect on the lies and truths he once carried, sometimes aligning with mortals and sometimes challenging them with harsh words. By the end of his arc, [[Asildu]] remains a figure caught between victim and villain - once a tool of the Heralds, now a fractured man trying to define his place in the struggle for Elanthia.

When questioned about the missing adventurers, [[Asildu]] deflected, suggesting that finding a cure for sorcery might lead to their discovery, while denying any Herald involvement in their disappearance.

He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion. Throughout, [[Asildu]] maintains that he tried to help and to save lives, but that the adventurers' arrogance and disregard for his message have led to their impending downfall.

He rejects accusations of weakness and instead claims the [[Heralds]] have rewarded him for his loyalty. When challenged, he insists that others never cared to understand him and that his story has always been judged unfairly. He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true. Adventurers mock him throughout, but [[Asildu]] continues to press that they underestimate the [[Heralds]]' power and overestimate their own. He warns that mortals are like rats gnawing at the [[Heralds]]' once perfect house, and that they will no longer be tolerated. [[Asildu]] closes by declaring that death is the only outcome for those who persist in defiance.

He insists that he once tried to warn people, but claims they chose instead to plot his murder and spread lies about him. To him, the attacks serve as both punishment and proof, as he says his life now belongs fully to the [[Heralds]]. [[Asildu]] accuses adventurers of rejecting logic and reason, asserting that intelligence has been lost to arrogance. In battle, he wields his walking stick with deadly agility and repeatedly unleashes elemental power — flame, frost, and storm — against those who oppose him. He mocks his attackers, calling them gnats, and frames their resistance as futile against the strength given to him by the [[Heralds]]. Even as he is injured, he continues to fight fiercely, maintaining that the devastation unfolding is the direct result of mortals' own stubborn choices.

He toys with those who confront him, dismissing suggestions that he could turn away from the [[Heralds]], and instead insists that everyone seems content only to kill him.

He admits that his memories are fragmented, acknowledging that he does not always recall events clearly, and that he once stayed away from [[Miraena]] for fear of endangering her. [[Asildu]] reveals that he suppresses the [[Heralds]]' overwhelming anger through the use of magic and a song, though he does not know how long this clarity can last. He expresses doubt about surviving without the [[Heralds]]' connection, explaining that their power is immense and difficult to resist. When pressed, he offers to share what he feels, and unleashes a wave of pure rage upon the group, allowing them to experience the burden he carries before quickly withdrawing it. [[Asildu]] admits he does not wish to be consumed by anger, but remains uncertain whether he has the strength to free himself from the [[Heralds]]' hold. Ultimately, he is seized by their influence mid-conversation, his body twisting unnaturally as he cries out, "The [[Heralds]] demand unwavering submission," before dissolving into sunlight and disappearing.

He says he is in a swamp and wonders if the stones there will protect him. His words show desperation and uncertainty, alternating between seeking refuge and doubting his own safety. [[Asildu]] responds to encouragement from adventurers urging him to remember who he is, but his replies remain fragmented. He repeatedly hints at exhaustion and inner conflict, never directly asking for help but not rejecting it either. His retreat to the Zaulfung and mention of the stones underline his belief that they may provide him shelter from whatever pursues or controls him.

He emphasizes that he is not a necromancer or sorcerer, but a scholar who made choices based on information that may have been misleading. While offered [[Truffenyi]]’s mercy and a book of [[Immortals]], [[Asildu]] acknowledges the gestures with gratitude but remains doubtful of deliverance while the [[Heralds]] still hold him.

=Messenger Miraena, Voice of the Heralds of Elanthia=
[[Miraena]] begins as a humble farmer who claims visions from the [[Heralds]], warning that sorcery is tearing holes in the fabric of reality. She pleads with adventurers to abandon sorcery, offering blue irises as symbols of her mission, and endures skepticism, hostility, and doubt while holding firm to her cause. As events escalate, she defends [[Asildu]] and insists the [[Heralds]]’ punishments, such as the encasement of the Clans, are necessary to make people listen. Yet over time, she grows conflicted, struggling with the [[Heralds]]’ severity and with [[Asildu]]’s shifting behavior, and she admits confusion about why the [[Immortals]] allowed her to be deceived. [[Miraena]] eventually participates in efforts to help mortals directly, from guiding beams of light to stabilizing sorcerous orbs, even while questioning her beliefs. At a vigil, she acknowledges her mistakes, apologizes to those she once opposed, and seeks reconciliation with the [[Immortals]]. Her arc closes with a farewell, where she warns that wild magic is already corrupting the world and urges vigilance, leaving behind both sorrow and determination.

She pleads with the gathered adventurers to cease the use of sorcery for the greater good, including for the safety of her distant village. She appears naive about city life and somewhat fearful of adventurers, but is determined in her mission. She also gives blue irises to several people, telling them that she has grown them herself and that they will serve as a reminder for who she is trying to save.

=Steward of Recursion Liraxes, Warden of Adaptation=
[[Liraxes]] first appears as a being concerned with the imbalance of mana and the weakening of planar boundaries, presenting itself as methodical and calculating. It begins constructing a crystalline machine to measure, calculate, and eventually manipulate events to restore Balance, urging adventurers to cast sorcery despite its dangers. Over time, it frames sorcery not as corruption but as the key to countering the [[Heralds]], insisting that large-scale casting distracts them and empowers the [[Immortals]]. [[Liraxes]] presents itself as neutral, focused solely on probabilities and Balance, but it gradually assumes a commanding role, directing mortals to defend the machine and follow its calculations. It warns of [[Herald]] attacks, coordinates defenses, and transforms the machine into both a measuring device and a weapon for the [[Immortals]]’ eventual strike. Even as it claims not to act out of faith, it pushes sorcery as a necessary tool, regardless of mortal unease. By the time drakes assault its machine, [[Liraxes]] is firmly positioned as a strategist and overseer, a cold steward of Balance whose success depends on mortals obeying its directives.

It's primary concern was addressing an unacceptable imbalance in mana flow, which is weakening planar boundaries. It appears to be methodically gathering data and calculating steps to restore this imbalance, potentially with local cooperation. It suggests that some sorcery might be necessary to counter the imbalance, though "teleologic" magic is deemed unacceptable. Before departing, it emphasizes ongoing observation and future action to restore equilibrium.

It aims to maintain Balance in the [[Plane of Abiding]], which is currently threatened by mana fluctuations, and believes that restoring the system to its state prior to these fluctuations is ideal. It is constructing a measuring device using various materials to gather data and refine probability calculations, which will help determine steps to regain Balance. It suggests that sorcerous casting at specific locations, including one west of the city, could be an effective approach to improving Balance, though it lacks full data on the precise mechanisms at play.

It explains that its calculations show no circumstances where the missing people can be returned without resolving the current imbalance in magical energy, and confirms that the device being constructed will have no direct impact on the plane beyond physically existing in it. It emphasizes that the amount of mana manipulated is more important than the number of spells cast, but all casting is helpful in restoring balance. It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

She believes that attacking [[Asildu]] now might only lead to further devastation if he isn't the real threat. She expresses her commitment to fighting for the people in [[Truffenyi]]'s name if necessary, while also seeking to learn more about magic and history to better understand the situation.

She is surprised to hear that Nawain's Godling is free, and questions whether the [[Immortals]] would approve of such developments, finding it hard to believe they support sorcery. She shares a lesson from her vision, comparing it to cooking: if left unattended, things will boil over.

Each vision differs, and [[Unaka]] listens intently as participants describe what they see, nodding in acknowledgment and affirming the difficulty of conveying such divine messages. She emphasizes that prayer and devotion provide the foundation for receiving these glimpses, and that the visions carry meaning that must be considered thoughtfully. [[Unaka]] remains calm and focused throughout, gently guiding the group and reinforcing that her role is to serve as a conduit for [[Truffenyi]]'s will. By the end of the ceremony, she leaves the adventurers with both inspiration and the challenge of interpreting the [[Immortal]]'s message.

=Avatar of the Summoning Valenal, Elemental Conduit of Elanthia=
[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft. His research allowed entities from the [[Elemental Planes]] to influence his mind, and these entities are now concerned about recent energetic disruptions amid the chaos of wild magic.

He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]].

This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy.

LADYMOFFITT: /* Steward of Recursion Liraxes, Warden of Adaptation */

= Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar=
[[Asildu]] begins as a scholar who warns mortals about sorcery, framing it as a dangerous imbalance that draws the attention of the [[Heralds]]. His pursuit of forbidden knowledge and artifacts binds him to them, and for a time he becomes their instrument, channeling their power and delivering their wrath through battles, invasions, and destructive visions. He alternates between moments of clarity, where he shares warnings and fragmented memories, and periods where he openly fights on behalf of the [[Heralds]], summoning drakes, storms, and elemental fury against mortals. Eventually, adventurers follow the trail of artifacts he recalls, each tied to his corruption, until the destruction of the final crown severs his bond. Free but scarred, [[Asildu]] admits his mistakes, torn between guilt and bitterness at how he was treated during his fall. He continues to reflect on the lies and truths he once carried, sometimes aligning with mortals and sometimes challenging them with harsh words. By the end of his arc, [[Asildu]] remains a figure caught between victim and villain - once a tool of the Heralds, now a fractured man trying to define his place in the struggle for Elanthia.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |Breath of the Heralds [[Asildu]], a Human Scholar, made his debut at an Overhealers Anonymous meeting, presenting himself as knowledgeable about the [[Heralds]] while maintaining an air of mystery. His primary focus was warning against the use of sorcery, which he described as a dangerous "disease" requiring a cure. When questioned about the missing adventurers, [[Asildu]] deflected, suggesting that finding a cure for sorcery might lead to their discovery, while denying any Herald involvement in their disappearance.

He clarifies that while he doesn't have all the answers and has been bombarded with questions, his aim is to understand and share what he knows rather than to interrogate or be interrogated. He explains his deep study of the Heralds and his personal connection to them, emphasizing that their power and their stance on magic's misuse are central to his concerns. He acknowledges his limitations and lack of answers to some questions but assured his commitment to providing insight where possible.

He expressed his belief that the [[Heralds]] are displeased with the current state of magic and argued that sorcery is exacerbating the imbalance causing wild magic. He admitted that he could not provide concrete proof beyond his personal experiences and feelings, which led to considerable debate among adventurers.

He confirms the [[Heralds]]' desire for sorcery to cease but emphasizes their lack of interest in individual mortals. He suggests that the disappearance of the five people might be coincidental rather than directly caused by the [[Heralds]].

He warns that if the [[Heralds]] decide to show themselves, it won't be a discussion and likely won't go well for anyone. He states that his connection with the Heralds isn't one of words, and he doesn't know their names, viewing them as focused on the bigger picture rather than individuals. He expresses approval for those who have pledged not to use sorcery and hopes his message will reach more people before it's too late.

He expresses deep concern about the potential destruction that could be caused by those gathered, pleading with them to reconsider their actions. As the situation escalates, he becomes increasingly distressed, saying the [[Heralds]] are angry and that their wrath has arrived, while attempting to protect [[Miraena]]. He attributes the drake attack to the [[Heralds]]' anger, stating that it is occurring because the warnings were not heeded and the casters didn't listen.

He emphasizes that pure mana is needed to restore balance and urges adventurers to consider hosting pure mana parties instead of sorcery events.

[[Asildu]] dramatically raises his arms, causing the ground to quake and whip-like vines to emerge, which encase him before receding and leaving no trace of him behind.

He insists that he has not lied in the past, claiming his statements are true "as he knows them at the time," and accuses others of twisting his words. When challenged about his choices, [[Asildu]] says the people never care for him and dismisses any suggestion of turning to the Immortals for help, calling them "weaklings." He openly admits he is wrong about some details but bluntly refuses to apologize. In exchanges with [[Ezerak]] and others, he maintains that everyone would act the same in his position, justifying the [[Heralds]]' actions as inevitable. [[Saragos]] presses him about missing people, and [[Asildu]] flatly tells him his wife will not be returned. Eventually, after withstanding a series of magical attacks, Asildu dramatically summons vines that encase him and then vanishes, leaving the adventurers to battle the drakes and heraldic forces he has brought with him.

When they gather outside the southern gate, he chastises them for rejecting his earlier warnings and insists that the [[Heralds]] now empower him to show the truth of their strength. He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion. Throughout, [[Asildu]] maintains that he tried to help and to save lives, but that the adventurers' arrogance and disregard for his message have led to their impending downfall.

When challenged, he insists that others never cared to understand him and that his story has always been judged unfairly. He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true. Adventurers mock him throughout, but [[Asildu]] continues to press that they underestimate the [[Heralds]]' power and overestimate their own. He warns that mortals are like rats gnawing at the [[Heralds]]' once perfect house, and that they will no longer be tolerated. [[Asildu]] closes by declaring that death is the only outcome for those who persist in defiance.

He insists that he once tried to warn people, but claims they chose instead to plot his murder and spread lies about him. To him, the attacks serve as both punishment and proof, as he says his life now belongs fully to the [[Heralds]]. [[Asildu]] accuses adventurers of rejecting logic and reason, asserting that intelligence has been lost to arrogance. In battle, he wields his walking stick with deadly agility and repeatedly unleashes elemental power — flame, frost, and storm — against those who oppose him. He mocks his attackers, calling them gnats, and frames their resistance as futile against the strength given to him by the [[Heralds]]. Even as he is injured, he continues to fight fiercely, maintaining that the devastation unfolding is the direct result of mortals' own stubborn choices.

[[Asildu]] reveals that he suppresses the [[Heralds]]' overwhelming anger through the use of magic and a song, though he does not know how long this clarity can last. He expresses doubt about surviving without the [[Heralds]]' connection, explaining that their power is immense and difficult to resist. When pressed, he offers to share what he feels, and unleashes a wave of pure rage upon the group, allowing them to experience the burden he carries before quickly withdrawing it. [[Asildu]] admits he does not wish to be consumed by anger, but remains uncertain whether he has the strength to free himself from the [[Heralds]]' hold. Ultimately, he is seized by their influence mid-conversation, his body twisting unnaturally as he cries out, "The [[Heralds]] demand unwavering submission," before dissolving into sunlight and disappearing.

He says he is in a swamp and wonders if the stones there will protect him. His words show desperation and uncertainty, alternating between seeking refuge and doubting his own safety. [[Asildu]] responds to encouragement from adventurers urging him to remember who he is, but his replies remain fragmented.

He emphasizes that he is not a necromancer or sorcerer, but a scholar who made choices based on information that may have been misleading. While offered [[Truffenyi]]’s mercy and a book of [[Immortals]], [[Asildu]] acknowledges the gestures with gratitude but remains doubtful of deliverance while the [[Heralds]] still hold him.

=Messenger Miraena, Voice of the Heralds of Elanthia=
[[Miraena]] begins as a humble farmer who claims visions from the [[Heralds]], warning that sorcery is tearing holes in the fabric of reality. She pleads with adventurers to abandon sorcery, offering blue irises as symbols of her mission, and endures skepticism, hostility, and doubt while holding firm to her cause. As events escalate, she defends [[Asildu]] and insists the [[Heralds]]’ punishments, such as the encasement of the Clans, are necessary to make people listen. Yet over time, she grows conflicted, struggling with the [[Heralds]]’ severity and with [[Asildu]]’s shifting behavior, and she admits confusion about why the [[Immortals]] allowed her to be deceived. [[Miraena]] eventually participates in efforts to help mortals directly, from guiding beams of light to stabilizing sorcerous orbs, even while questioning her beliefs. At a vigil, she acknowledges her mistakes, apologizes to those she once opposed, and seeks reconciliation with the [[Immortals]]. Her arc closes with a farewell, where she warns that wild magic is already corrupting the world and urges vigilance, leaving behind both sorrow and determination.

A simple farmer and messenger from a distant village, she claims to have had a "vision" from the [[Heralds]] in which the ultimate disastrous effects of the use of sorcery were made clear to her. She pleads with the gathered adventurers to cease the use of sorcery for the greater good, including for the safety of her distant village. She appears naive about city life and somewhat fearful of adventurers, but is determined in her mission. She also gives blue irises to several people, telling them that she has grown them herself and that they will serve as a reminder for who she is trying to save.

=Steward of Recursion Liraxes, Warden of Adaptation=
[[Liraxes]] first appears as a being concerned with the imbalance of mana and the weakening of planar boundaries, presenting itself as methodical and calculating. It begins constructing a crystalline machine to measure, calculate, and eventually manipulate events to restore Balance, urging adventurers to cast sorcery despite its dangers. Over time, it frames sorcery not as corruption but as the key to countering the [[Heralds]], insisting that large-scale casting distracts them and empowers the [[Immortals]]. [[Liraxes]] presents itself as neutral, focused solely on probabilities and Balance, but it gradually assumes a commanding role, directing mortals to defend the machine and follow its calculations. It warns of [[Herald]] attacks, coordinates defenses, and transforms the machine into both a measuring device and a weapon for the [[Immortals]]’ eventual strike. Even as it claims not to act out of faith, it pushes sorcery as a necessary tool, regardless of mortal unease. By the time drakes assault its machine, [[Liraxes]] is firmly positioned as a strategist and overseer, a cold steward of Balance whose success depends on mortals obeying its directives.

It suggests that some sorcery might be necessary to counter the imbalance, though "teleologic" magic is deemed unacceptable.

It emphasizes that the amount of mana manipulated is more important than the number of spells cast, but all casting is helpful in restoring balance. It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

It states that their power is gathering, and the critical moment is approaching. [[Liraxes]] emphasizes that [[Immortal]] victory is improbable under normal conditions but possible if mortals act at certain junctions, and it insists it will not reveal [[Immortal]] plans directly for fear of leaks to [[Herald]] allies. Instead, it announces that it will repurpose the machine and will need adventurers to contribute mana to a complex sorcerous pattern at the right time. This act, it explains, will disrupt the [[Heralds]], acting as a powerful distraction even if not outright destructive. [[Liraxes]] acknowledges that too much sorcery could become an issue eventually, but argues that the current crisis requires it and aligns with the long-term survival of mortals. Before departing, it assures the group that it will send word when the Immortals make their move, instructing them to watch the skies for signs that the time has come.

It emphasizes that the process does not involve sorcery and insists that belief is not required for its success. As the test begins, it assures the adventurers that they should not be in danger and announces the engagement of "stellar alignment protocols." The machine's activation causes shifting symbols, energy surges, and eventually the dramatic reappearance of the Heart constellation, which [[Liraxes]] declares a successful result. It explains that the reconfiguration is a step toward restoring balance and that the machine may serve as a weapon against the [[Heralds]] when the [[Immortals]] launch their full assault. [[Liraxes]] adds that assistance will be needed later in constructing a sorcerous pattern to empower the machine further. After urging readiness and confirming that it remains functional, it encases itself in crystal and vanishes, leaving the adventurers to debate its intentions.

It explains that the machine itself has been altered to serve as a weapon for when the [[Immortals]] strike, and that defending it is critical. [[Liraxes]] clarifies that the [[Heralds]] are not directly responsible for Wild Magic but have worsened it by suppressing sorcery, which it identifies as essential to maintaining Balance. It reports that the [[Heralds]] siphon mana, especially holy mana, weakening the [[Immortals]], though sorcerous mana remains untouchable to them. Finally, it emphasizes that casting sorcery in large amounts is the key to restoring Balance, even if many find the practice distasteful.

She shared a vision bestowed upon her by Truffenyi, filled with symbols such as a changing disk. The vision bestowed upon her new abilities, such as understanding multiple languages and the power to cast Cleric spells, despite being a Paladin. The vision also warned that while cross-realm casting is acceptable, necromancy and high Sorcery are dangerous. Truffenyi's message emphasized the need to protect and safeguard civilization.

When asked about a vision involving a wooden box transforming into an orb, she considers whether it might relate to the Bulwark. The group then discusses the possibility that someone is stealing magical energy, and [[Unaka]], as a voice for [[Truffenyi]], agrees to pray for answers about the [[Heralds]]' involvement in these events. They plan an excursion to [[Zengmodaleth]], where they hope to observe the disturbances more clearly due to the lack of Life mana in the area.

She explains that she meditated deeply on questions posed by [[Avrenka]] regarding whether [[Asildu]]’s Heraldic influence could be countered by sorcery, Immortal intervention, brute force, or artifacts. She admits that despite her efforts, she found no clear answers in her visions from [[Truffenyi]], though she believes the visions still hold wisdom not yet uncovered. [[Unaka]] describes how the divine visions feel overwhelming, like a waterfall pouring into an acorn, and how she sorts through them to find guidance, but in this case, nothing emerged. She apologizes for not being able to provide direction, but reassures the group that she has faith in their ability to act with heart and purpose. When pressed further, she clarifies that no additional insight arose, even on simpler questions such as whether the [[Immortals]] wanted or could help [[Asildu]] at all. Though her statements are modest and cautious, [[Unaka]] emphasizes faith, perseverance, and trust in the group’s ability to move forward despite her lack of concrete answers.

She acknowledges uncertainty about whether certain rituals, such as shark’s tooth offerings, would directly aid [[Asildu]], but affirms that empowering and connecting with [[Truffenyi]] is valuable. She proposes the idea of carving ox figurines or beads and placing them around civilization to imbue them with [[Truffenyi]]’s presence. She also offers to meditate on questions for the group, showing openness to continue supporting the community spiritually. While speaking with others like [[Kethrai]] and [[Mazilyn]], she balances humility with her role as prophet, expressing both caution about overstepping and conviction in strengthening [[Truffenyi]]’s influence.

=Avatar of the Summoning Valenal, Elemental Conduit of Elanthia=
[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft. His research allowed entities from the [[Elemental Planes]] to influence his mind, and these entities are now concerned about recent energetic disruptions amid the chaos of wild magic.

He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He claims that energy is being stolen from the plane in small, discrete amounts thanks to non-sorcerous magic. This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy.

LADYMOFFITT: /* Messenger Miraena, Voice of the Heralds of Elanthia */

= Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar=
[[Asildu]] begins as a scholar who warns mortals about sorcery, framing it as a dangerous imbalance that draws the attention of the [[Heralds]]. His pursuit of forbidden knowledge and artifacts binds him to them, and for a time he becomes their instrument, channeling their power and delivering their wrath through battles, invasions, and destructive visions. He alternates between moments of clarity, where he shares warnings and fragmented memories, and periods where he openly fights on behalf of the [[Heralds]], summoning drakes, storms, and elemental fury against mortals. Eventually, adventurers follow the trail of artifacts he recalls, each tied to his corruption, until the destruction of the final crown severs his bond. Free but scarred, [[Asildu]] admits his mistakes, torn between guilt and bitterness at how he was treated during his fall. He continues to reflect on the lies and truths he once carried, sometimes aligning with mortals and sometimes challenging them with harsh words. By the end of his arc, [[Asildu]] remains a figure caught between victim and villain - once a tool of the Heralds, now a fractured man trying to define his place in the struggle for Elanthia.

When questioned about the missing adventurers, [[Asildu]] deflected, suggesting that finding a cure for sorcery might lead to their discovery, while denying any Herald involvement in their disappearance.

[[Asildu]] dramatically raises his arms, causing the ground to quake and whip-like vines to emerge, which encase him before receding and leaving no trace of him behind.

He openly admits he is wrong about some details but bluntly refuses to apologize. In exchanges with [[Ezerak]] and others, he maintains that everyone would act the same in his position, justifying the [[Heralds]]' actions as inevitable. [[Saragos]] presses him about missing people, and [[Asildu]] flatly tells him his wife will not be returned. Eventually, after withstanding a series of magical attacks, Asildu dramatically summons vines that encase him and then vanishes, leaving the adventurers to battle the drakes and heraldic forces he has brought with him.

When they gather outside the southern gate, he chastises them for rejecting his earlier warnings and insists that the [[Heralds]] now empower him to show the truth of their strength. He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion. Throughout, [[Asildu]] maintains that he tried to help and to save lives, but that the adventurers' arrogance and disregard for his message have led to their impending downfall.

He rejects accusations of weakness and instead claims the [[Heralds]] have rewarded him for his loyalty. When challenged, he insists that others never cared to understand him and that his story has always been judged unfairly. He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true. Adventurers mock him throughout, but [[Asildu]] continues to press that they underestimate the [[Heralds]]' power and overestimate their own. He warns that mortals are like rats gnawing at the [[Heralds]]' once perfect house, and that they will no longer be tolerated. [[Asildu]] closes by declaring that death is the only outcome for those who persist in defiance.

He insists that he once tried to warn people, but claims they chose instead to plot his murder and spread lies about him. To him, the attacks serve as both punishment and proof, as he says his life now belongs fully to the [[Heralds]]. [[Asildu]] accuses adventurers of rejecting logic and reason, asserting that intelligence has been lost to arrogance. In battle, he wields his walking stick with deadly agility and repeatedly unleashes elemental power — flame, frost, and storm — against those who oppose him. He mocks his attackers, calling them gnats, and frames their resistance as futile against the strength given to him by the [[Heralds]]. Even as he is injured, he continues to fight fiercely, maintaining that the devastation unfolding is the direct result of mortals' own stubborn choices.

Throughout the invasion, [[Asildu]] alternates between sardonic remarks and calculated assaults, repeatedly healing his own wounds while overwhelming others with fire and frost. He toys with those who confront him, dismissing suggestions that he could turn away from the [[Heralds]], and instead insists that everyone seems content only to kill him.

He admits that his memories are fragmented, acknowledging that he does not always recall events clearly, and that he once stayed away from [[Miraena]] for fear of endangering her. [[Asildu]] reveals that he suppresses the [[Heralds]]' overwhelming anger through the use of magic and a song, though he does not know how long this clarity can last. He expresses doubt about surviving without the [[Heralds]]' connection, explaining that their power is immense and difficult to resist. When pressed, he offers to share what he feels, and unleashes a wave of pure rage upon the group, allowing them to experience the burden he carries before quickly withdrawing it. [[Asildu]] admits he does not wish to be consumed by anger, but remains uncertain whether he has the strength to free himself from the [[Heralds]]' hold. Ultimately, he is seized by their influence mid-conversation, his body twisting unnaturally as he cries out, "The [[Heralds]] demand unwavering submission," before dissolving into sunlight and disappearing.

He says he is in a swamp and wonders if the stones there will protect him. His words show desperation and uncertainty, alternating between seeking refuge and doubting his own safety. [[Asildu]] responds to encouragement from adventurers urging him to remember who he is, but his replies remain fragmented. He repeatedly hints at exhaustion and inner conflict, never directly asking for help but not rejecting it either. His retreat to the Zaulfung and mention of the stones underline his belief that they may provide him shelter from whatever pursues or controls him.

He explains that his bond to the [[Heralds]] stems from artifacts he studied in his pursuit of knowledge, admitting that he left them where they were rather than collecting them, and that his memories of them are now hazy. He emphasizes that he is not a necromancer or sorcerer, but a scholar who made choices based on information that may have been misleading. While offered [[Truffenyi]]’s mercy and a book of [[Immortals]], [[Asildu]] acknowledges the gestures with gratitude but remains doubtful of deliverance while the [[Heralds]] still hold him.

=Messenger Miraena, Voice of the Heralds of Elanthia=
[[Miraena]] begins as a humble farmer who claims visions from the [[Heralds]], warning that sorcery is tearing holes in the fabric of reality. She pleads with adventurers to abandon sorcery, offering blue irises as symbols of her mission, and endures skepticism, hostility, and doubt while holding firm to her cause. As events escalate, she defends [[Asildu]] and insists the [[Heralds]]’ punishments, such as the encasement of the Clans, are necessary to make people listen. Yet over time, she grows conflicted, struggling with the [[Heralds]]’ severity and with [[Asildu]]’s shifting behavior, and she admits confusion about why the [[Immortals]] allowed her to be deceived. [[Miraena]] eventually participates in efforts to help mortals directly, from guiding beams of light to stabilizing sorcerous orbs, even while questioning her beliefs. At a vigil, she acknowledges her mistakes, apologizes to those she once opposed, and seeks reconciliation with the [[Immortals]]. Her arc closes with a farewell, where she warns that wild magic is already corrupting the world and urges vigilance, leaving behind both sorrow and determination.

She pleads with the gathered adventurers to cease the use of sorcery for the greater good, including for the safety of her distant village. She appears naive about city life and somewhat fearful of adventurers, but is determined in her mission. She also gives blue irises to several people, telling them that she has grown them herself and that they will serve as a reminder for who she is trying to save.

It explains that its calculations show no circumstances where the missing people can be returned without resolving the current imbalance in magical energy, and confirms that the device being constructed will have no direct impact on the plane beyond physically existing in it. It emphasizes that the amount of mana manipulated is more important than the number of spells cast, but all casting is helpful in restoring balance. It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

=Avatar of the Summoning Valenal, Elemental Conduit of Elanthia=
[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft. His research allowed entities from the [[Elemental Planes]] to influence his mind, and these entities are now concerned about recent energetic disruptions amid the chaos of wild magic.

He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]].

This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

He explains that casting sorcery helps restore natural balance, allowing elementals to flow freely through planar boundaries as intended, and warns that without this process, all planes would eventually stagnate and die. He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy.

= Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar=
[[Asildu]] begins as a scholar who warns mortals about sorcery, framing it as a dangerous imbalance that draws the attention of the [[Heralds]]. His pursuit of forbidden knowledge and artifacts binds him to them, and for a time he becomes their instrument, channeling their power and delivering their wrath through battles, invasions, and destructive visions. He alternates between moments of clarity, where he shares warnings and fragmented memories, and periods where he openly fights on behalf of the [[Heralds]], summoning drakes, storms, and elemental fury against mortals. Eventually, adventurers follow the trail of artifacts he recalls, each tied to his corruption, until the destruction of the final crown severs his bond. Free but scarred, [[Asildu]] admits his mistakes, torn between guilt and bitterness at how he was treated during his fall. He continues to reflect on the lies and truths he once carried, sometimes aligning with mortals and sometimes challenging them with harsh words. By the end of his arc, [[Asildu]] remains a figure caught between victim and villain - once a tool of the Heralds, now a fractured man trying to define his place in the struggle for Elanthia.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |Breath of the Heralds [[Asildu]], a Human Scholar, made his debut at an Overhealers Anonymous meeting, presenting himself as knowledgeable about the [[Heralds]] while maintaining an air of mystery. His primary focus was warning against the use of sorcery, which he described as a dangerous "disease" requiring a cure. When questioned about the missing adventurers, [[Asildu]] deflected, suggesting that finding a cure for sorcery might lead to their discovery, while denying any Herald involvement in their disappearance.

He clarifies that while he doesn't have all the answers and has been bombarded with questions, his aim is to understand and share what he knows rather than to interrogate or be interrogated. He explains his deep study of the Heralds and his personal connection to them, emphasizing that their power and their stance on magic's misuse are central to his concerns. He acknowledges his limitations and lack of answers to some questions but assured his commitment to providing insight where possible.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Asildu]] returns to Overhealers Anonymous and was greeted with varying levels of politeness and skepticism. He expressed his belief that the [[Heralds]] are displeased with the current state of magic and argued that sorcery is exacerbating the imbalance causing wild magic. He admitted that he could not provide concrete proof beyond his personal experiences and feelings, which led to considerable debate among adventurers.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Asildu]] provides extensive background on the [[Heralds]], explaining that they are immensely powerful beings focused solely on maintaining balance, without comprehension of mortal concepts like friendship or love. He confirms the [[Heralds]]' desire for sorcery to cease but emphasizes their lack of interest in individual mortals. He suggests that the disappearance of the five people might be coincidental rather than directly caused by the [[Heralds]].

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Asildu]] believes that the increased and widespread use of sorcery over centuries has caused an imbalance, and urges people to curb their use of sorcery before the [[Heralds]] intervene. He warns that if the [[Heralds]] decide to show themselves, it won't be a discussion and likely won't go well for anyone. He states that his connection with the Heralds isn't one of words, and he doesn't know their names, viewing them as focused on the bigger picture rather than individuals. He expresses approval for those who have pledged not to use sorcery and hopes his message will reach more people before it's too late.

He explains the Heralds' motivations to [[Unaka]], emphasizing that they protect the world out of necessity, not affection for mortals. Throughout the evening, he redirects conversation back to the cause of curbing sorcery, reinforcing the event's purpose and [[Miraena]]'s message.

He expresses deep concern about the potential destruction that could be caused by those gathered, pleading with them to reconsider their actions. As the situation escalates, he becomes increasingly distressed, saying the [[Heralds]] are angry and that their wrath has arrived, while attempting to protect [[Miraena]]. He attributes the drake attack to the [[Heralds]]' anger, stating that it is occurring because the warnings were not heeded and the casters didn't listen.

As [[Asildu]] is grilled over the events at [[Knife Clan]], the [[Heralds]] seem to react and cast meteors down on [[Wolf Clan]] and [[Tiger Clan]], encasing them in a similar nature as [[Knife Clan]].

He refers to a more formal arrangement being worked on by [[Miraena]] for sharing this knowledge.

He explains that the [[Immortals]] have failed in their duty to guide mortals, leading to the misuse of sorcery and the current imbalance. He emphasizes that pure mana is needed to restore balance and urges adventurers to consider hosting pure mana parties instead of sorcery events.

He states that the [[Heralds]]' patience is running thin with the adventurers' continued use of sorcery, and warns that they are now "skating on thin ice." [[Asildu]] dramatically raises his arms, causing the ground to quake and whip-like vines to emerge, which encase him before receding and leaving no trace of him behind. Following [[Asildu]]'s disappearance, a company of drakes attacks the area.

He insists that he has not lied in the past, claiming his statements are true "as he knows them at the time," and accuses others of twisting his words. When challenged about his choices, [[Asildu]] says the people never care for him and dismisses any suggestion of turning to the Immortals for help, calling them "weaklings." He openly admits he is wrong about some details but bluntly refuses to apologize. In exchanges with [[Ezerak]] and others, he maintains that everyone would act the same in his position, justifying the [[Heralds]]' actions as inevitable. [[Saragos]] presses him about missing people, and [[Asildu]] flatly tells him his wife will not be returned. Eventually, after withstanding a series of magical attacks, Asildu dramatically summons vines that encase him and then vanishes, leaving the adventurers to battle the drakes and heraldic forces he has brought with him.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Asildu]] calls adventurers to [[Kaerna]], announcing that their hubris and addiction to sorcery have doomed them. When they gather outside the southern gate, he chastises them for rejecting his earlier warnings and insists that the [[Heralds]] now empower him to show the truth of their strength. He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion. Throughout, [[Asildu]] maintains that he tried to help and to save lives, but that the adventurers' arrogance and disregard for his message have led to their impending downfall.

He rejects accusations of weakness and instead claims the [[Heralds]] have rewarded him for his loyalty. When challenged, he insists that others never cared to understand him and that his story has always been judged unfairly. He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true. Adventurers mock him throughout, but [[Asildu]] continues to press that they underestimate the [[Heralds]]' power and overestimate their own. He warns that mortals are like rats gnawing at the [[Heralds]]' once perfect house, and that they will no longer be tolerated. [[Asildu]] closes by declaring that death is the only outcome for those who persist in defiance.

He insists that he once tried to warn people, but claims they chose instead to plot his murder and spread lies about him. To him, the attacks serve as both punishment and proof, as he says his life now belongs fully to the [[Heralds]]. [[Asildu]] accuses adventurers of rejecting logic and reason, asserting that intelligence has been lost to arrogance. In battle, he wields his walking stick with deadly agility and repeatedly unleashes elemental power — flame, frost, and storm — against those who oppose him. He mocks his attackers, calling them gnats, and frames their resistance as futile against the strength given to him by the [[Heralds]]. Even as he is injured, he continues to fight fiercely, maintaining that the devastation unfolding is the direct result of mortals' own stubborn choices.

He toys with those who confront him, dismissing suggestions that he could turn away from the [[Heralds]], and instead insists that everyone seems content only to kill him. [[Asildu]] directs drakes as well as summons storms and flame waves of his own.

He admits that his memories are fragmented, acknowledging that he does not always recall events clearly, and that he once stayed away from [[Miraena]] for fear of endangering her. [[Asildu]] reveals that he suppresses the [[Heralds]]' overwhelming anger through the use of magic and a song, though he does not know how long this clarity can last. He expresses doubt about surviving without the [[Heralds]]' connection, explaining that their power is immense and difficult to resist. When pressed, he offers to share what he feels, and unleashes a wave of pure rage upon the group, allowing them to experience the burden he carries before quickly withdrawing it. [[Asildu]] admits he does not wish to be consumed by anger, but remains uncertain whether he has the strength to free himself from the [[Heralds]]' hold. Ultimately, he is seized by their influence mid-conversation, his body twisting unnaturally as he cries out, "The [[Heralds]] demand unwavering submission," before dissolving into sunlight and disappearing.

Pursued by adventurers, he communicates haltingly over the gweth, admitting, "I can't" and later "I'm trying," suggesting he struggles against some unseen force. He says he is in a swamp and wonders if the stones there will protect him. His words show desperation and uncertainty, alternating between seeking refuge and doubting his own safety. [[Asildu]] responds to encouragement from adventurers urging him to remember who he is, but his replies remain fragmented. He repeatedly hints at exhaustion and inner conflict, never directly asking for help but not rejecting it either. His retreat to the Zaulfung and mention of the stones underline his belief that they may provide him shelter from whatever pursues or controls him.

He explains that his bond to the [[Heralds]] stems from artifacts he studied in his pursuit of knowledge, admitting that he left them where they were rather than collecting them, and that his memories of them are now hazy. He emphasizes that he is not a necromancer or sorcerer, but a scholar who made choices based on information that may have been misleading. While offered [[Truffenyi]]’s mercy and a book of [[Immortals]], [[Asildu]] acknowledges the gestures with gratitude but remains doubtful of deliverance while the [[Heralds]] still hold him. He departs with visible unease, leaving the group with the impression that remembering and locating the artifacts may be key to his eventual freedom.

[[Asildu]] compares its removal to taking a vital weapon from a powerful [[Immortal]], underscoring the importance of eliminating more of them. He stresses that studying such artifacts is perilous, pointing to his own condition as evidence, and cautions that only the [[Heralds]] themselves could wield them safely. Although he cannot yet recall where other artifacts lie, he promises to keep searching his fragmented memories and share whatever he learns in the future.

He emphasizes that he always avoided cities, so the site lies outside populated areas. While his recollections are vague, he admits treasure hunting was once his favorite pursuit and hopes the group can piece together the puzzle. He withdraws once again, citing the risk of drawing dangerous attention by lingering too long among others.

Before leaving, he accepts small gifts from those present, reiterates his focus on recalling the next artifact’s location, and vows to return soon with clearer guidance.

=Messenger Miraena, Voice of the Heralds of Elanthia=
[[Miraena]], a simple farmer turned messenger, claims to have received visions from the [[Heralds]] showing the catastrophic effects of sorcery on the world. She passionately pleads with adventurers to cease using sorcerous magic, offering blue irises as tokens to those who pledge to do so. As events unfold, her message becomes more urgent, explaining that disasters like the encasing of Clans is the [[Heralds]]' attempts to make people heed their warnings. She struggles with the resistance she faces from adventurers, sometimes expressing frustration at their perceived hubris and inability to see the larger picture. Despite challenges and moments of doubt, Miraena continues her efforts to spread the [[Heralds]]' message, organizing events to share information and emphasizing the importance of restoring balance by ceasing sorcery use.

A simple farmer and messenger from a distant village, she claims to have had a "vision" from the [[Heralds]] in which the ultimate disastrous effects of the use of sorcery were made clear to her. She pleads with the gathered adventurers to cease the use of sorcery for the greater good, including for the safety of her distant village. She appears naive about city life and somewhat fearful of adventurers, but is determined in her mission. She also gives blue irises to several people, telling them that she has grown them herself and that they will serve as a reminder for who she is trying to save.

It states that their power is gathering, and the critical moment is approaching. [[Liraxes]] emphasizes that [[Immortal]] victory is improbable under normal conditions but possible if mortals act at certain junctions, and it insists it will not reveal [[Immortal]] plans directly for fear of leaks to [[Herald]] allies. Instead, it announces that it will repurpose the machine and will need adventurers to contribute mana to a complex sorcerous pattern at the right time. This act, it explains, will disrupt the [[Heralds]], acting as a powerful distraction even if not outright destructive. [[Liraxes]] acknowledges that too much sorcery could become an issue eventually, but argues that the current crisis requires it and aligns with the long-term survival of mortals. Before departing, it assures the group that it will send word when the Immortals make their move, instructing them to watch the skies for signs that the time has come.

It emphasizes that the process does not involve sorcery and insists that belief is not required for its success. As the test begins, it assures the adventurers that they should not be in danger and announces the engagement of "stellar alignment protocols." The machine's activation causes shifting symbols, energy surges, and eventually the dramatic reappearance of the Heart constellation, which [[Liraxes]] declares a successful result. It explains that the reconfiguration is a step toward restoring balance and that the machine may serve as a weapon against the [[Heralds]] when the [[Immortals]] launch their full assault. [[Liraxes]] adds that assistance will be needed later in constructing a sorcerous pattern to empower the machine further. After urging readiness and confirming that it remains functional, it encases himself in crystal and vanishes, leaving the adventurers to debate its intentions.

It explains that the machine itself has been altered to serve as a weapon for when the [[Immortals]] strike, and that defending it is critical. [[Liraxes]] clarifies that the [[Heralds]] are not directly responsible for Wild Magic but have worsened it by suppressing sorcery, which he identifies as essential to maintaining Balance. It reports that the [[Heralds]] siphon mana, especially holy mana, weakening the [[Immortals]], though sorcerous mana remains untouchable to them. Finally, it emphasizes that casting sorcery in large amounts is the key to restoring Balance, even if many find the practice distasteful.

She shared a vision bestowed upon her by Truffenyi, filled with symbols such as a changing disk. The vision bestowed upon her new abilities, such as understanding multiple languages and the power to cast Cleric spells, despite being a Paladin. The vision also warned that while cross-realm casting is acceptable, necromancy and high Sorcery are dangerous. Truffenyi's message emphasized the need to protect and safeguard civilization.

When asked about a vision involving a wooden box transforming into an orb, she considers whether it might relate to the Bulwark. The group then discusses the possibility that someone is stealing magical energy, and [[Unaka]], as a voice for [[Truffenyi]], agrees to pray for answers about the [[Heralds]]' involvement in these events. They plan an excursion to [[Zengmodaleth]], where they hope to observe the disturbances more clearly due to the lack of Life mana in the area.

She explains that she meditated deeply on questions posed by [[Avrenka]] regarding whether [[Asildu]]’s Heraldic influence could be countered by sorcery, Immortal intervention, brute force, or artifacts. She admits that despite her efforts, she found no clear answers in her visions from [[Truffenyi]], though she believes the visions still hold wisdom not yet uncovered. [[Unaka]] describes how the divine visions feel overwhelming, like a waterfall pouring into an acorn, and how she sorts through them to find guidance, but in this case, nothing emerged. She apologizes for not being able to provide direction, but reassures the group that she has faith in their ability to act with heart and purpose. When pressed further, she clarifies that no additional insight arose, even on simpler questions such as whether the [[Immortals]] wanted or could help [[Asildu]] at all. Though her statements are modest and cautious, [[Unaka]] emphasizes faith, perseverance, and trust in the group’s ability to move forward despite her lack of concrete answers.

She acknowledges uncertainty about whether certain rituals, such as shark’s tooth offerings, would directly aid [[Asildu]], but affirms that empowering and connecting with [[Truffenyi]] is valuable. She proposes the idea of carving ox figurines or beads and placing them around civilization to imbue them with [[Truffenyi]]’s presence. She also offers to meditate on questions for the group, showing openness to continue supporting the community spiritually. While speaking with others like [[Kethrai]] and [[Mazilyn]], she balances humility with her role as prophet, expressing both caution about overstepping and conviction in strengthening [[Truffenyi]]’s influence.

=Avatar of the Summoning Valenal, Elemental Conduit of Elanthia=
[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft. His research allowed entities from the [[Elemental Planes]] to influence his mind, and these entities are now concerned about recent energetic disruptions amid the chaos of wild magic.

He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He claims that energy is being stolen from the plane in small, discrete amounts thanks to non-sorcerous magic. This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

He explains that casting sorcery helps restore natural balance, allowing elementals to flow freely through planar boundaries as intended, and warns that without this process, all planes would eventually stagnate and die. He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy.

LADYMOFFITT: /* Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar */

= Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar=
[[Asildu]] presents himself as a knowledgeable intermediary between the [[Heralds]] and mortals. He consistently warns against the use of sorcery, describing it as a dangerous "disease" that has caused an imbalance in the world. He portrays the [[Heralds]] as powerful beings focused solely on maintaining balance, without concern for individual mortals, and claims that the increased use of sorcery over centuries has angered the [[Heralds]], leading to their interventions (such as the encasing of various Clans). While he admits to not having all the answers, [[Asildu]] remains committed to sharing his knowledge and warning adventurers about the potential consequences of continued sorcery use.

In exchanges with [[Ezerak]] and others, he maintains that everyone would act the same in his position, justifying the [[Heralds]]' actions as inevitable. [[Saragos]] presses him about missing people, and [[Asildu]] flatly tells him his wife will not be returned. Eventually, after withstanding a series of magical attacks, Asildu dramatically summons vines that encase him and then vanishes, leaving the adventurers to battle the drakes and heraldic forces he has brought with him.

He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion.

He rejects accusations of weakness and instead claims the [[Heralds]] have rewarded him for his loyalty. When challenged, he insists that others never cared to understand him and that his story has always been judged unfairly. He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true. Adventurers mock him throughout, but [[Asildu]] continues to press that they underestimate the [[Heralds]]' power and overestimate their own. He warns that mortals are like rats gnawing at the [[Heralds]]' once perfect house, and that they will no longer be tolerated. [[Asildu]] closes by declaring that death is the only outcome for those who persist in defiance.

He insists that he once tried to warn people, but claims they chose instead to plot his murder and spread lies about him. To him, the attacks serve as both punishment and proof, as he says his life now belongs fully to the [[Heralds]]. [[Asildu]] accuses adventurers of rejecting logic and reason, asserting that intelligence has been lost to arrogance. In battle, he wields his walking stick with deadly agility and repeatedly unleashes elemental power — flame, frost, and storm — against those who oppose him. He mocks his attackers, calling them gnats, and frames their resistance as futile against the strength given to him by the [[Heralds]]. Even as he is injured, he continues to fight fiercely, maintaining that the devastation unfolding is the direct result of mortals' own stubborn choices.

He toys with those who confront him, dismissing suggestions that he could turn away from the [[Heralds]], and instead insists that everyone seems content only to kill him.

He admits that his memories are fragmented, acknowledging that he does not always recall events clearly, and that he once stayed away from [[Miraena]] for fear of endangering her. [[Asildu]] reveals that he suppresses the [[Heralds]]' overwhelming anger through the use of magic and a song, though he does not know how long this clarity can last. He expresses doubt about surviving without the [[Heralds]]' connection, explaining that their power is immense and difficult to resist. When pressed, he offers to share what he feels, and unleashes a wave of pure rage upon the group, allowing them to experience the burden he carries before quickly withdrawing it. [[Asildu]] admits he does not wish to be consumed by anger, but remains uncertain whether he has the strength to free himself from the [[Heralds]]' hold. Ultimately, he is seized by their influence mid-conversation, his body twisting unnaturally as he cries out, "The [[Heralds]] demand unwavering submission," before dissolving into sunlight and disappearing.

He says he is in a swamp and wonders if the stones there will protect him. His words show desperation and uncertainty, alternating between seeking refuge and doubting his own safety. [[Asildu]] responds to encouragement from adventurers urging him to remember who he is, but his replies remain fragmented.

He emphasizes that he is not a necromancer or sorcerer, but a scholar who made choices based on information that may have been misleading. While offered [[Truffenyi]]’s mercy and a book of [[Immortals]], [[Asildu]] acknowledges the gestures with gratitude but remains doubtful of deliverance while the [[Heralds]] still hold him.

=Messenger Miraena, Voice of the Heralds of Elanthia=
[[Miraena]], a simple farmer turned messenger, claims to have received visions from the [[Heralds]] showing the catastrophic effects of sorcery on the world. She passionately pleads with adventurers to cease using sorcerous magic, offering blue irises as tokens to those who pledge to do so. As events unfold, her message becomes more urgent, explaining that disasters like the encasing of Clans is the [[Heralds]]' attempts to make people heed their warnings. She struggles with the resistance she faces from adventurers, sometimes expressing frustration at their perceived hubris and inability to see the larger picture. Despite challenges and moments of doubt, Miraena continues her efforts to spread the [[Heralds]]' message, organizing events to share information and emphasizing the importance of restoring balance by ceasing sorcery use.

She pleads with the gathered adventurers to cease the use of sorcery for the greater good, including for the safety of her distant village. She appears naive about city life and somewhat fearful of adventurers, but is determined in her mission. She also gives blue irises to several people, telling them that she has grown them herself and that they will serve as a reminder for who she is trying to save.

It explains that its calculations show no circumstances where the missing people can be returned without resolving the current imbalance in magical energy, and confirms that the device being constructed will have no direct impact on the plane beyond physically existing in it. It emphasizes that the amount of mana manipulated is more important than the number of spells cast, but all casting is helpful in restoring balance. It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

She expresses her commitment to fighting for the people in [[Truffenyi]]'s name if necessary, while also seeking to learn more about magic and history to better understand the situation.

[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft. His research allowed entities from the [[Elemental Planes]] to influence his mind, and these entities are now concerned about recent energetic disruptions amid the chaos of wild magic.

This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

He explains that casting sorcery helps restore natural balance, allowing elementals to flow freely through planar boundaries as intended, and warns that without this process, all planes would eventually stagnate and die. He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy.

LADYMOFFITT: /* Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar */

= Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar=
[[Asildu]] presents himself as a knowledgeable intermediary between the [[Heralds]] and mortals. He consistently warns against the use of sorcery, describing it as a dangerous "disease" that has caused an imbalance in the world. He portrays the [[Heralds]] as powerful beings focused solely on maintaining balance, without concern for individual mortals, and claims that the increased use of sorcery over centuries has angered the [[Heralds]], leading to their interventions (such as the encasing of various Clans). While he admits to not having all the answers, [[Asildu]] remains committed to sharing his knowledge and warning adventurers about the potential consequences of continued sorcery use.

His primary focus was warning against the use of sorcery, which he described as a dangerous "disease" requiring a cure. When questioned about the missing adventurers, [[Asildu]] deflected, suggesting that finding a cure for sorcery might lead to their discovery, while denying any Herald involvement in their disappearance.

He confirms the [[Heralds]]' desire for sorcery to cease but emphasizes their lack of interest in individual mortals. He suggests that the disappearance of the five people might be coincidental rather than directly caused by the [[Heralds]].

He warns that if the [[Heralds]] decide to show themselves, it won't be a discussion and likely won't go well for anyone. He states that his connection with the Heralds isn't one of words, and he doesn't know their names, viewing them as focused on the bigger picture rather than individuals. He expresses approval for those who have pledged not to use sorcery and hopes his message will reach more people before it's too late.

He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion.

He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true.

=Messenger Miraena, Voice of the Heralds of Elanthia=
[[Miraena]], a simple farmer turned messenger, claims to have received visions from the [[Heralds]] showing the catastrophic effects of sorcery on the world. She passionately pleads with adventurers to cease using sorcerous magic, offering blue irises as tokens to those who pledge to do so. As events unfold, her message becomes more urgent, explaining that disasters like the encasing of Clans is the [[Heralds]]' attempts to make people heed their warnings. She struggles with the resistance she faces from adventurers, sometimes expressing frustration at their perceived hubris and inability to see the larger picture. Despite challenges and moments of doubt, Miraena continues her efforts to spread the [[Heralds]]' message, organizing events to share information and emphasizing the importance of restoring balance by ceasing sorcery use.

It explains that its calculations show no circumstances where the missing people can be returned without resolving the current imbalance in magical energy, and confirms that the device being constructed will have no direct impact on the plane beyond physically existing in it. It emphasizes that the amount of mana manipulated is more important than the number of spells cast, but all casting is helpful in restoring balance. It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |Conqueror of the Wilds [[Unaka]], Maul of [[Truffenyi]] made her first appearance at the Eye of Truffenyi, in the Crossing Temple. She shared a vision bestowed upon her by Truffenyi, filled with symbols such as a changing disk. The vision bestowed upon her new abilities, such as understanding multiple languages and the power to cast Cleric spells, despite being a Paladin. The vision also warned that while cross-realm casting is acceptable, necromancy and high Sorcery are dangerous. Truffenyi's message emphasized the need to protect and safeguard civilization.

She reflects on the nature of the Bulwark, speculating that it might be vibrating but not broken, and questions whether it's permeable. When asked about a vision involving a wooden box transforming into an orb, she considers whether it might relate to the Bulwark. The group then discusses the possibility that someone is stealing magical energy, and [[Unaka]], as a voice for [[Truffenyi]], agrees to pray for answers about the [[Heralds]]' involvement in these events. They plan an excursion to [[Zengmodaleth]], where they hope to observe the disturbances more clearly due to the lack of Life mana in the area.

[[Unaka]] also offers comfort and support to others, including hugs and snacks, positioning herself as a steady, compassionate presence within the group.

=Avatar of the Summoning Valenal, Elemental Conduit of Elanthia=
[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft. His research allowed entities from the [[Elemental Planes]] to influence his mind, and these entities are now concerned about recent energetic disruptions amid the chaos of wild magic.

He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He claims that energy is being stolen from the plane in small, discrete amounts thanks to non-sorcerous magic. This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

He explains that casting sorcery helps restore natural balance, allowing elementals to flow freely through planar boundaries as intended, and warns that without this process, all planes would eventually stagnate and die. He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy.

LADYMOFFITT: /* Conqueror of the Wilds Unaka, Maul of Truffenyi */

= Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar=
[[Asildu]] presents himself as a knowledgeable intermediary between the [[Heralds]] and mortals. He consistently warns against the use of sorcery, describing it as a dangerous "disease" that has caused an imbalance in the world. He portrays the [[Heralds]] as powerful beings focused solely on maintaining balance, without concern for individual mortals, and claims that the increased use of sorcery over centuries has angered the [[Heralds]], leading to their interventions (such as the encasing of various Clans). While he admits to not having all the answers, [[Asildu]] remains committed to sharing his knowledge and warning adventurers about the potential consequences of continued sorcery use.

When questioned about the missing adventurers, [[Asildu]] deflected, suggesting that finding a cure for sorcery might lead to their discovery, while denying any Herald involvement in their disappearance.

In exchanges with [[Ezerak]] and others, he maintains that everyone would act the same in his position, justifying the [[Heralds]]' actions as inevitable. [[Saragos]] presses him about missing people, and [[Asildu]] flatly tells him his wife will not be returned. Eventually, after withstanding a series of magical attacks, Asildu dramatically summons vines that encase him and then vanishes, leaving the adventurers to battle the drakes and heraldic forces he has brought with him.

He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion.

He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true. Adventurers mock him throughout, but [[Asildu]] continues to press that they underestimate the [[Heralds]]' power and overestimate their own.

[[Asildu]] accuses adventurers of rejecting logic and reason, asserting that intelligence has been lost to arrogance. In battle, he wields his walking stick with deadly agility and repeatedly unleashes elemental power — flame, frost, and storm — against those who oppose him.

[[Asildu]] reveals that he suppresses the [[Heralds]]' overwhelming anger through the use of magic and a song, though he does not know how long this clarity can last. He expresses doubt about surviving without the [[Heralds]]' connection, explaining that their power is immense and difficult to resist. When pressed, he offers to share what he feels, and unleashes a wave of pure rage upon the group, allowing them to experience the burden he carries before quickly withdrawing it. [[Asildu]] admits he does not wish to be consumed by anger, but remains uncertain whether he has the strength to free himself from the [[Heralds]]' hold. Ultimately, he is seized by their influence mid-conversation, his body twisting unnaturally as he cries out, "The [[Heralds]] demand unwavering submission," before dissolving into sunlight and disappearing.

Pursued by adventurers, he communicates haltingly over the gweth, admitting, "I can't" and later "I'm trying," suggesting he struggles against some unseen force. He says he is in a swamp and wonders if the stones there will protect him. His words show desperation and uncertainty, alternating between seeking refuge and doubting his own safety. [[Asildu]] responds to encouragement from adventurers urging him to remember who he is, but his replies remain fragmented. He repeatedly hints at exhaustion and inner conflict, never directly asking for help but not rejecting it either. His retreat to the Zaulfung and mention of the stones underline his belief that they may provide him shelter from whatever pursues or controls him.

It emphasizes that while helping return the missing adventurers isn't necessary for Balance, it's likely to occur in the preferred timeline.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" | [[Liraxes]] describes Balance as a system of homeostasis with multiple changing factors pushing against each other. It aims to maintain Balance in the [[Plane of Abiding]], which is currently threatened by mana fluctuations, and believes that restoring the system to its state prior to these fluctuations is ideal. It is constructing a measuring device using various materials to gather data and refine probability calculations, which will help determine steps to regain Balance. It suggests that sorcerous casting at specific locations, including one west of the city, could be an effective approach to improving Balance, though it lacks full data on the precise mechanisms at play.

It explains that its calculations show no circumstances where the missing people can be returned without resolving the current imbalance in magical energy, and confirms that the device being constructed will have no direct impact on the plane beyond physically existing in it. It emphasizes that the amount of mana manipulated is more important than the number of spells cast, but all casting is helpful in restoring balance. It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

=Avatar of the Summoning Valenal, Elemental Conduit of Elanthia=
[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft. His research allowed entities from the [[Elemental Planes]] to influence his mind, and these entities are now concerned about recent energetic disruptions amid the chaos of wild magic.

He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He claims that energy is being stolen from the plane in small, discrete amounts thanks to non-sorcerous magic. This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

He explains that casting sorcery helps restore natural balance, allowing elementals to flow freely through planar boundaries as intended, and warns that without this process, all planes would eventually stagnate and die. He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy.

LADYMOFFITT: /* Conqueror of the Wilds Unaka, Maul of Truffenyi */

= Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar=
[[Asildu]] presents himself as a knowledgeable intermediary between the [[Heralds]] and mortals. He consistently warns against the use of sorcery, describing it as a dangerous "disease" that has caused an imbalance in the world. He portrays the [[Heralds]] as powerful beings focused solely on maintaining balance, without concern for individual mortals, and claims that the increased use of sorcery over centuries has angered the [[Heralds]], leading to their interventions (such as the encasing of various Clans). While he admits to not having all the answers, [[Asildu]] remains committed to sharing his knowledge and warning adventurers about the potential consequences of continued sorcery use.

His primary focus was warning against the use of sorcery, which he described as a dangerous "disease" requiring a cure. When questioned about the missing adventurers, [[Asildu]] deflected, suggesting that finding a cure for sorcery might lead to their discovery, while denying any Herald involvement in their disappearance.

He clarifies that while he doesn't have all the answers and has been bombarded with questions, his aim is to understand and share what he knows rather than to interrogate or be interrogated. He explains his deep study of the Heralds and his personal connection to them, emphasizing that their power and their stance on magic's misuse are central to his concerns. He acknowledges his limitations and lack of answers to some questions but assured his commitment to providing insight where possible.

He confirms the [[Heralds]]' desire for sorcery to cease but emphasizes their lack of interest in individual mortals. He suggests that the disappearance of the five people might be coincidental rather than directly caused by the [[Heralds]].

He states that his connection with the Heralds isn't one of words, and he doesn't know their names, viewing them as focused on the bigger picture rather than individuals. He expresses approval for those who have pledged not to use sorcery and hopes his message will reach more people before it's too late.

As the situation escalates, he becomes increasingly distressed, saying the [[Heralds]] are angry and that their wrath has arrived, while attempting to protect [[Miraena]]. He attributes the drake attack to the [[Heralds]]' anger, stating that it is occurring because the warnings were not heeded and the casters didn't listen.

He emphasizes that pure mana is needed to restore balance and urges adventurers to consider hosting pure mana parties instead of sorcery events.

[[Asildu]] dramatically raises his arms, causing the ground to quake and whip-like vines to emerge, which encase him before receding and leaving no trace of him behind. Following [[Asildu]]'s disappearance, a company of drakes attacks the area.

He insists that he has not lied in the past, claiming his statements are true "as he knows them at the time," and accuses others of twisting his words. When challenged about his choices, [[Asildu]] says the people never care for him and dismisses any suggestion of turning to the Immortals for help, calling them "weaklings." He openly admits he is wrong about some details but bluntly refuses to apologize. In exchanges with [[Ezerak]] and others, he maintains that everyone would act the same in his position, justifying the [[Heralds]]' actions as inevitable. [[Saragos]] presses him about missing people, and [[Asildu]] flatly tells him his wife will not be returned. Eventually, after withstanding a series of magical attacks, Asildu dramatically summons vines that encase him and then vanishes, leaving the adventurers to battle the drakes and heraldic forces he has brought with him.

When they gather outside the southern gate, he chastises them for rejecting his earlier warnings and insists that the [[Heralds]] now empower him to show the truth of their strength. He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion. Throughout, [[Asildu]] maintains that he tried to help and to save lives, but that the adventurers' arrogance and disregard for his message have led to their impending downfall.

He rejects accusations of weakness and instead claims the [[Heralds]] have rewarded him for his loyalty. When challenged, he insists that others never cared to understand him and that his story has always been judged unfairly. He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true. Adventurers mock him throughout, but [[Asildu]] continues to press that they underestimate the [[Heralds]]' power and overestimate their own. He warns that mortals are like rats gnawing at the [[Heralds]]' once perfect house, and that they will no longer be tolerated. [[Asildu]] closes by declaring that death is the only outcome for those who persist in defiance.

He insists that he once tried to warn people, but claims they chose instead to plot his murder and spread lies about him. To him, the attacks serve as both punishment and proof, as he says his life now belongs fully to the [[Heralds]]. [[Asildu]] accuses adventurers of rejecting logic and reason, asserting that intelligence has been lost to arrogance. In battle, he wields his walking stick with deadly agility and repeatedly unleashes elemental power — flame, frost, and storm — against those who oppose him. He mocks his attackers, calling them gnats, and frames their resistance as futile against the strength given to him by the [[Heralds]]. Even as he is injured, he continues to fight fiercely, maintaining that the devastation unfolding is the direct result of mortals' own stubborn choices.

He toys with those who confront him, dismissing suggestions that he could turn away from the [[Heralds]], and instead insists that everyone seems content only to kill him.

He admits that his memories are fragmented, acknowledging that he does not always recall events clearly, and that he once stayed away from [[Miraena]] for fear of endangering her. [[Asildu]] reveals that he suppresses the [[Heralds]]' overwhelming anger through the use of magic and a song, though he does not know how long this clarity can last. He expresses doubt about surviving without the [[Heralds]]' connection, explaining that their power is immense and difficult to resist. When pressed, he offers to share what he feels, and unleashes a wave of pure rage upon the group, allowing them to experience the burden he carries before quickly withdrawing it. [[Asildu]] admits he does not wish to be consumed by anger, but remains uncertain whether he has the strength to free himself from the [[Heralds]]' hold. Ultimately, he is seized by their influence mid-conversation, his body twisting unnaturally as he cries out, "The [[Heralds]] demand unwavering submission," before dissolving into sunlight and disappearing.

He says he is in a swamp and wonders if the stones there will protect him. His words show desperation and uncertainty, alternating between seeking refuge and doubting his own safety. [[Asildu]] responds to encouragement from adventurers urging him to remember who he is, but his replies remain fragmented. He repeatedly hints at exhaustion and inner conflict, never directly asking for help but not rejecting it either. His retreat to the Zaulfung and mention of the stones underline his belief that they may provide him shelter from whatever pursues or controls him.

He emphasizes that he is not a necromancer or sorcerer, but a scholar who made choices based on information that may have been misleading. While offered [[Truffenyi]]’s mercy and a book of [[Immortals]], [[Asildu]] acknowledges the gestures with gratitude but remains doubtful of deliverance while the [[Heralds]] still hold him. He departs with visible unease, leaving the group with the impression that remembering and locating the artifacts may be key to his eventual freedom.

[[Asildu]] compares its removal to taking a vital weapon from a powerful [[Immortal]], underscoring the importance of eliminating more of them.

It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

It states that while the overall Balance is still likely to be maintained, the conflict between [[Heralds]] and [[Immortals]] does not resolve in this action. When asked about cooperation, it dismisses the idea that the [[Heralds]] would ever work with mortals or [[Immortals]], pointing to their refusal to allow sorcery earlier. It clarifies that additional sorcery remains useful - both to irritate the [[Heralds]] and to help restore Balance to mana. Regarding other risks, he notes that data is scarce but current probabilities do not indicate additional threats arising with the prisoners' release. Concluding, [[Liraxes]] reiterates his role as observer and departs, leaving instructions to watch for [[Immortal]] activity and be prepared to respond.

[[Liraxes]] emphasizes that [[Immortal]] victory is improbable under normal conditions but possible if mortals act at certain junctions, and it insists it will not reveal [[Immortal]] plans directly for fear of leaks to [[Herald]] allies. Instead, it announces that it will repurpose the machine and will need adventurers to contribute mana to a complex sorcerous pattern at the right time. This act, it explains, will disrupt the [[Heralds]], acting as a powerful distraction even if not outright destructive. [[Liraxes]] acknowledges that too much sorcery could become an issue eventually, but argues that the current crisis requires it and aligns with the long-term survival of mortals.

The machine's activation causes shifting symbols, energy surges, and eventually the dramatic reappearance of the Heart constellation, which [[Liraxes]] declares a successful result.

[[Liraxes]] clarifies that the [[Heralds]] are not directly responsible for Wild Magic but have worsened it by suppressing sorcery, which he identifies as essential to maintaining Balance. It reports that the [[Heralds]] siphon mana, especially holy mana, weakening the [[Immortals]], though sorcerous mana remains untouchable to them.

When asked about a vision involving a wooden box transforming into an orb, she considers whether it might relate to the Bulwark. The group then discusses the possibility that someone is stealing magical energy, and [[Unaka]], as a voice for [[Truffenyi]], agrees to pray for answers about the [[Heralds]]' involvement in these events. They plan an excursion to [[Zengmodaleth]], where they hope to observe the disturbances more clearly due to the lack of Life mana in the area.

She emphasizes that she does not act out of cruelty but from necessity, and that mortals often misunderstand her intentions. When pressed about the balance of power, she states that both [[Immortals]] and [[Heralds]] cling too tightly to control, while she exists outside their conflict. She challenges adventurers to broaden their perspective, noting that their devotion to the [[Immortals]] may blind them to other truths. [[Unaka]] asserts that destruction can be a form of creation, and that what mortals see as loss may be essential for renewal. Throughout the discussion, she remains composed, often turning questions back on her audience to encourage reflection rather than providing direct answers. In the end, she departs calmly, leaving behind a reminder that her words are not meant to persuade but to provoke thought.

She admits that despite her efforts, she found no clear answers in her visions from [[Truffenyi]], though she believes the visions still hold wisdom not yet uncovered. [[Unaka]] describes how the divine visions feel overwhelming, like a waterfall pouring into an acorn, and how she sorts through them to find guidance, but in this case, nothing emerged. She apologizes for not being able to provide direction, but reassures the group that she has faith in their ability to act with heart and purpose.

She proposes the idea of carving ox figurines or beads and placing them around civilization to imbue them with [[Truffenyi]]’s presence. She also offers to meditate on questions for the group, showing openness to continue supporting the community spiritually.

[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft. His research allowed entities from the [[Elemental Planes]] to influence his mind, and these entities are now concerned about recent energetic disruptions amid the chaos of wild magic.

He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He claims that energy is being stolen from the plane in small, discrete amounts thanks to non-sorcerous magic. This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy.

LADYMOFFITT: /* Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar */

= Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar=
[[Asildu]] presents himself as a knowledgeable intermediary between the [[Heralds]] and mortals. He consistently warns against the use of sorcery, describing it as a dangerous "disease" that has caused an imbalance in the world. He portrays the [[Heralds]] as powerful beings focused solely on maintaining balance, without concern for individual mortals, and claims that the increased use of sorcery over centuries has angered the [[Heralds]], leading to their interventions (such as the encasing of various Clans). While he admits to not having all the answers, [[Asildu]] remains committed to sharing his knowledge and warning adventurers about the potential consequences of continued sorcery use.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Asildu]] arrives limping but confident, immediately criticizing mortals for acting without regard to consequences. He insists that he has not lied in the past, claiming his statements are true "as he knows them at the time," and accuses others of twisting his words. When challenged about his choices, [[Asildu]] says the people never care for him and dismisses any suggestion of turning to the Immortals for help, calling them "weaklings." He openly admits he is wrong about some details but bluntly refuses to apologize. In exchanges with [[Ezerak]] and others, he maintains that everyone would act the same in his position, justifying the [[Heralds]]' actions as inevitable. [[Saragos]] presses him about missing people, and [[Asildu]] flatly tells him his wife will not be returned. Eventually, after withstanding a series of magical attacks, Asildu dramatically summons vines that encase him and then vanishes, leaving the adventurers to battle the drakes and heraldic forces he has brought with him.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Asildu]] calls adventurers to [[Kaerna]], announcing that their hubris and addiction to sorcery have doomed them. When they gather outside the southern gate, he chastises them for rejecting his earlier warnings and insists that the [[Heralds]] now empower him to show the truth of their strength. He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion. Throughout, [[Asildu]] maintains that he tried to help and to save lives, but that the adventurers' arrogance and disregard for his message have led to their impending downfall.

He rejects accusations of weakness and instead claims the [[Heralds]] have rewarded him for his loyalty. When challenged, he insists that others never cared to understand him and that his story has always been judged unfairly. He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true. Adventurers mock him throughout, but [[Asildu]] continues to press that they underestimate the [[Heralds]]' power and overestimate their own. He warns that mortals are like rats gnawing at the [[Heralds]]' once perfect house, and that they will no longer be tolerated. [[Asildu]] closes by declaring that death is the only outcome for those who persist in defiance.

He insists that he once tried to warn people, but claims they chose instead to plot his murder and spread lies about him. To him, the attacks serve as both punishment and proof, as he says his life now belongs fully to the [[Heralds]]. [[Asildu]] accuses adventurers of rejecting logic and reason, asserting that intelligence has been lost to arrogance. In battle, he wields his walking stick with deadly agility and repeatedly unleashes elemental power — flame, frost, and storm — against those who oppose him. He mocks his attackers, calling them gnats, and frames their resistance as futile against the strength given to him by the [[Heralds]]. Even as he is injured, he continues to fight fiercely, maintaining that the devastation unfolding is the direct result of mortals' own stubborn choices.

He toys with those who confront him, dismissing suggestions that he could turn away from the [[Heralds]], and instead insists that everyone seems content only to kill him.

He admits that his memories are fragmented, acknowledging that he does not always recall events clearly, and that he once stayed away from [[Miraena]] for fear of endangering her. [[Asildu]] reveals that he suppresses the [[Heralds]]' overwhelming anger through the use of magic and a song, though he does not know how long this clarity can last. He expresses doubt about surviving without the [[Heralds]]' connection, explaining that their power is immense and difficult to resist. When pressed, he offers to share what he feels, and unleashes a wave of pure rage upon the group, allowing them to experience the burden he carries before quickly withdrawing it. [[Asildu]] admits he does not wish to be consumed by anger, but remains uncertain whether he has the strength to free himself from the [[Heralds]]' hold. Ultimately, he is seized by their influence mid-conversation, his body twisting unnaturally as he cries out, "The [[Heralds]] demand unwavering submission," before dissolving into sunlight and disappearing.

He says he is in a swamp and wonders if the stones there will protect him. His words show desperation and uncertainty, alternating between seeking refuge and doubting his own safety. [[Asildu]] responds to encouragement from adventurers urging him to remember who he is, but his replies remain fragmented.

He emphasizes that he is not a necromancer or sorcerer, but a scholar who made choices based on information that may have been misleading. While offered [[Truffenyi]]’s mercy and a book of [[Immortals]], [[Asildu]] acknowledges the gestures with gratitude but remains doubtful of deliverance while the [[Heralds]] still hold him.

=Messenger Miraena, Voice of the Heralds of Elanthia=
[[Miraena]], a simple farmer turned messenger, claims to have received visions from the [[Heralds]] showing the catastrophic effects of sorcery on the world. She passionately pleads with adventurers to cease using sorcerous magic, offering blue irises as tokens to those who pledge to do so. As events unfold, her message becomes more urgent, explaining that disasters like the encasing of Clans is the [[Heralds]]' attempts to make people heed their warnings. She struggles with the resistance she faces from adventurers, sometimes expressing frustration at their perceived hubris and inability to see the larger picture. Despite challenges and moments of doubt, Miraena continues her efforts to spread the [[Heralds]]' message, organizing events to share information and emphasizing the importance of restoring balance by ceasing sorcery use.

She pleads with the gathered adventurers to cease the use of sorcery for the greater good, including for the safety of her distant village. She appears naive about city life and somewhat fearful of adventurers, but is determined in her mission.

It explains that its calculations show no circumstances where the missing people can be returned without resolving the current imbalance in magical energy, and confirms that the device being constructed will have no direct impact on the plane beyond physically existing in it. It emphasizes that the amount of mana manipulated is more important than the number of spells cast, but all casting is helpful in restoring balance. It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

She is surprised to hear that Nawain's Godling is free, and questions whether the [[Immortals]] would approve of such developments, finding it hard to believe they support sorcery. She shares a lesson from her vision, comparing it to cooking: if left unattended, things will boil over.

[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft.

He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]].

This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

He explains that casting sorcery helps restore natural balance, allowing elementals to flow freely through planar boundaries as intended, and warns that without this process, all planes would eventually stagnate and die. He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy.

[[Asildu]] presents himself as a knowledgeable intermediary between the [[Heralds]] and mortals. He consistently warns against the use of sorcery, describing it as a dangerous "disease" that has caused an imbalance in the world. He portrays the [[Heralds]] as powerful beings focused solely on maintaining balance, without concern for individual mortals, and claims that the increased use of sorcery over centuries has angered the [[Heralds]], leading to their interventions (such as the encasing of various Clans). While he admits to not having all the answers, [[Asildu]] remains committed to sharing his knowledge and warning adventurers about the potential consequences of continued sorcery use.

His primary focus was warning against the use of sorcery, which he described as a dangerous "disease" requiring a cure. When questioned about the missing adventurers, [[Asildu]] deflected, suggesting that finding a cure for sorcery might lead to their discovery, while denying any Herald involvement in their disappearance.

He clarifies that while he doesn't have all the answers and has been bombarded with questions, his aim is to understand and share what he knows rather than to interrogate or be interrogated.

He acknowledges his limitations and lack of answers to some questions but assured his commitment to providing insight where possible.

He confirms the [[Heralds]]' desire for sorcery to cease but emphasizes their lack of interest in individual mortals. He suggests that the disappearance of the five people might be coincidental rather than directly caused by the [[Heralds]].

He warns that if the [[Heralds]] decide to show themselves, it won't be a discussion and likely won't go well for anyone. He states that his connection with the Heralds isn't one of words, and he doesn't know their names, viewing them as focused on the bigger picture rather than individuals. He expresses approval for those who have pledged not to use sorcery and hopes his message will reach more people before it's too late.

In exchanges with [[Ezerak]] and others, he maintains that everyone would act the same in his position, justifying the [[Heralds]]' actions as inevitable. [[Saragos]] presses him about missing people, and [[Asildu]] flatly tells him his wife will not be returned.

He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion. Throughout, [[Asildu]] maintains that he tried to help and to save lives, but that the adventurers' arrogance and disregard for his message have led to their impending downfall.

He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true. Adventurers mock him throughout, but [[Asildu]] continues to press that they underestimate the [[Heralds]]' power and overestimate their own.

When pressed, he offers to share what he feels, and unleashes a wave of pure rage upon the group, allowing them to experience the burden he carries before quickly withdrawing it. [[Asildu]] admits he does not wish to be consumed by anger, but remains uncertain whether he has the strength to free himself from the [[Heralds]]' hold.

=Messenger Miraena, Voice of the Heralds of Elanthia=
[[Miraena]], a simple farmer turned messenger, claims to have received visions from the [[Heralds]] showing the catastrophic effects of sorcery on the world. She passionately pleads with adventurers to cease using sorcerous magic, offering blue irises as tokens to those who pledge to do so. As events unfold, her message becomes more urgent, explaining that disasters like the encasing of Clans is the [[Heralds]]' attempts to make people heed their warnings. She struggles with the resistance she faces from adventurers, sometimes expressing frustration at their perceived hubris and inability to see the larger picture. Despite challenges and moments of doubt, Miraena continues her efforts to spread the [[Heralds]]' message, organizing events to share information and emphasizing the importance of restoring balance by ceasing sorcery use.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |Messenger [[Miraena]], Voice of the [[Heralds]] of Elanthia, makes her first appearance just outside the West Gate of Crossing. A simple farmer and messenger from a distant village, she claims to have had a "vision" from the [[Heralds]] in which the ultimate disastrous effects of the use of sorcery were made clear to her. She pleads with the gathered adventurers to cease the use of sorcery for the greater good, including for the safety of her distant village. She appears naive about city life and somewhat fearful of adventurers, but is determined in her mission. She also gives blue irises to several people, telling them that she has grown them herself and that they will serve as a reminder for who she is trying to save.

Throughout the conversation, she maintains a naive and humble demeanor, often apologizing for her lack of knowledge about city life and adventurer matters. Despite facing some skepticism and challenging questions, [[Miraena]] remains determined in her mission, comparing the cessation of sorcery to mending a fishing net and emphasizing the importance of protecting common folk.

She shares detailed, apocalyptic visions of destruction caused by unchecked use of sorcery. While uncertain about many magical concepts, [[Miraena]] believes using things like wands and harnessing wild mana surges might be safe.

She says that the relief felt after ceasing sorcerous casting is proof that stopping sorcery is what restores balance.

It emphasizes that the amount of mana manipulated is more important than the number of spells cast, but all casting is helpful in restoring balance. It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

[[Liraxes]] clarifies that the [[Heralds]] are not directly responsible for Wild Magic but have worsened it by suppressing sorcery, which he identifies as essential to maintaining Balance. It reports that the [[Heralds]] siphon mana, especially holy mana, weakening the [[Immortals]], though sorcerous mana remains untouchable to them. Finally, it emphasizes that casting sorcery in large amounts is the key to restoring Balance, even if many find the practice distasteful.

She shared a vision bestowed upon her by Truffenyi, filled with symbols such as a changing disk. The vision bestowed upon her new abilities, such as understanding multiple languages and the power to cast Cleric spells, despite being a Paladin. The vision also warned that while cross-realm casting is acceptable, necromancy and high Sorcery are dangerous. Truffenyi's message emphasized the need to protect and safeguard civilization.

When asked about a vision involving a wooden box transforming into an orb, she considers whether it might relate to the Bulwark. The group then discusses the possibility that someone is stealing magical energy, and [[Unaka]], as a voice for [[Truffenyi]], agrees to pray for answers about the [[Heralds]]' involvement in these events. They plan an excursion to [[Zengmodaleth]], where they hope to observe the disturbances more clearly due to the lack of Life mana in the area.

=Avatar of the Summoning Valenal, Elemental Conduit of Elanthia=
[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft. His research allowed entities from the [[Elemental Planes]] to influence his mind, and these entities are now concerned about recent energetic disruptions amid the chaos of wild magic.

He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He claims that energy is being stolen from the plane in small, discrete amounts thanks to non-sorcerous magic. This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

He explains that casting sorcery helps restore natural balance, allowing elementals to flow freely through planar boundaries as intended, and warns that without this process, all planes would eventually stagnate and die. He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy. Upon regaining control of his body, [[Valenal]] appears disoriented and tired, unaware of his actions while possessed, and describes the experience as being like a glove for the elemental.

LADYMOFFITT: /* Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar */

= Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar=
[[Asildu]] presents himself as a knowledgeable intermediary between the [[Heralds]] and mortals. He consistently warns against the use of sorcery, describing it as a dangerous "disease" that has caused an imbalance in the world. He portrays the [[Heralds]] as powerful beings focused solely on maintaining balance, without concern for individual mortals, and claims that the increased use of sorcery over centuries has angered the [[Heralds]], leading to their interventions (such as the encasing of various Clans). While he admits to not having all the answers, [[Asildu]] remains committed to sharing his knowledge and warning adventurers about the potential consequences of continued sorcery use.

When questioned about the missing adventurers, [[Asildu]] deflected, suggesting that finding a cure for sorcery might lead to their discovery, while denying any Herald involvement in their disappearance.

He suggests that the disappearance of the five people might be coincidental rather than directly caused by the [[Heralds]].

[[Asildu]] dramatically raises his arms, causing the ground to quake and whip-like vines to emerge, which encase him before receding and leaving no trace of him behind.

He openly admits he is wrong about some details but bluntly refuses to apologize. In exchanges with [[Ezerak]] and others, he maintains that everyone would act the same in his position, justifying the [[Heralds]]' actions as inevitable. [[Saragos]] presses him about missing people, and [[Asildu]] flatly tells him his wife will not be returned. Eventually, after withstanding a series of magical attacks, Asildu dramatically summons vines that encase him and then vanishes, leaving the adventurers to battle the drakes and heraldic forces he has brought with him.

When they gather outside the southern gate, he chastises them for rejecting his earlier warnings and insists that the [[Heralds]] now empower him to show the truth of their strength. He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion.

When challenged, he insists that others never cared to understand him and that his story has always been judged unfairly. He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true. Adventurers mock him throughout, but [[Asildu]] continues to press that they underestimate the [[Heralds]]' power and overestimate their own. He warns that mortals are like rats gnawing at the [[Heralds]]' once perfect house, and that they will no longer be tolerated.

[[Asildu]] accuses adventurers of rejecting logic and reason, asserting that intelligence has been lost to arrogance. In battle, he wields his walking stick with deadly agility and repeatedly unleashes elemental power — flame, frost, and storm — against those who oppose him. He mocks his attackers, calling them gnats, and frames their resistance as futile against the strength given to him by the [[Heralds]].

[[Asildu]] reveals that he suppresses the [[Heralds]]' overwhelming anger through the use of magic and a song, though he does not know how long this clarity can last. He expresses doubt about surviving without the [[Heralds]]' connection, explaining that their power is immense and difficult to resist. When pressed, he offers to share what he feels, and unleashes a wave of pure rage upon the group, allowing them to experience the burden he carries before quickly withdrawing it. [[Asildu]] admits he does not wish to be consumed by anger, but remains uncertain whether he has the strength to free himself from the [[Heralds]]' hold. Ultimately, he is seized by their influence mid-conversation, his body twisting unnaturally as he cries out, "The [[Heralds]] demand unwavering submission," before dissolving into sunlight and disappearing.

He says he is in a swamp and wonders if the stones there will protect him. His words show desperation and uncertainty, alternating between seeking refuge and doubting his own safety. [[Asildu]] responds to encouragement from adventurers urging him to remember who he is, but his replies remain fragmented.

[[Miraena]], a simple farmer turned messenger, claims to have received visions from the [[Heralds]] showing the catastrophic effects of sorcery on the world. She passionately pleads with adventurers to cease using sorcerous magic, offering blue irises as tokens to those who pledge to do so. As events unfold, her message becomes more urgent, explaining that disasters like the encasing of Clans is the [[Heralds]]' attempts to make people heed their warnings. She struggles with the resistance she faces from adventurers, sometimes expressing frustration at their perceived hubris and inability to see the larger picture. Despite challenges and moments of doubt, Miraena continues her efforts to spread the [[Heralds]]' message, organizing events to share information and emphasizing the importance of restoring balance by ceasing sorcery use.

It emphasizes that the amount of mana manipulated is more important than the number of spells cast, but all casting is helpful in restoring balance. It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

It states that while the overall Balance is still likely to be maintained, the conflict between [[Heralds]] and [[Immortals]] does not resolve in this action. When asked about cooperation, it dismisses the idea that the [[Heralds]] would ever work with mortals or [[Immortals]], pointing to their refusal to allow sorcery earlier. It clarifies that additional sorcery remains useful - both to irritate the [[Heralds]] and to help restore Balance to mana. Regarding other risks, he notes that data is scarce but current probabilities do not indicate additional threats arising with the prisoners' release. Concluding, [[Liraxes]] reiterates his role as observer and departs, leaving instructions to watch for [[Immortal]] activity and be prepared to respond.

[[Liraxes]] emphasizes that [[Immortal]] victory is improbable under normal conditions but possible if mortals act at certain junctions, and it insists it will not reveal [[Immortal]] plans directly for fear of leaks to [[Herald]] allies. Instead, it announces that it will repurpose the machine and will need adventurers to contribute mana to a complex sorcerous pattern at the right time. This act, it explains, will disrupt the [[Heralds]], acting as a powerful distraction even if not outright destructive.

The machine's activation causes shifting symbols, energy surges, and eventually the dramatic reappearance of the Heart constellation, which [[Liraxes]] declares a successful result.

[[Liraxes]] clarifies that the [[Heralds]] are not directly responsible for Wild Magic but have worsened it by suppressing sorcery, which he identifies as essential to maintaining Balance.

They plan an excursion to [[Zengmodaleth]], where they hope to observe the disturbances more clearly due to the lack of Life mana in the area.

She asks the gathered adventurers to join her in prayer, urging them to speak their faith aloud as she concentrates. With a golden halo flaring above her head, she touches chosen participants, granting them visions that reveal scenes of civilization blossoming, hidden darkness in its midst, or symbolic depictions of magic and power. Each vision differs, and [[Unaka]] listens intently as participants describe what they see, nodding in acknowledgment and affirming the difficulty of conveying such divine messages. She emphasizes that prayer and devotion provide the foundation for receiving these glimpses, and that the visions carry meaning that must be considered thoughtfully. [[Unaka]] remains calm and focused throughout, gently guiding the group and reinforcing that her role is to serve as a conduit for [[Truffenyi]]'s will. By the end of the ceremony, she leaves the adventurers with both inspiration and the challenge of interpreting the [[Immortal]]'s message.

She emphasizes that she does not act out of cruelty but from necessity, and that mortals often misunderstand her intentions.

She challenges adventurers to broaden their perspective, noting that their devotion to the [[Immortals]] may blind them to other truths. [[Unaka]] asserts that destruction can be a form of creation, and that what mortals see as loss may be essential for renewal. Throughout the discussion, she remains composed, often turning questions back on her audience to encourage reflection rather than providing direct answers. In the end, she departs calmly, leaving behind a reminder that her words are not meant to persuade but to provoke thought.

She admits that despite her efforts, she found no clear answers in her visions from [[Truffenyi]], though she believes the visions still hold wisdom not yet uncovered. [[Unaka]] describes how the divine visions feel overwhelming, like a waterfall pouring into an acorn, and how she sorts through them to find guidance, but in this case, nothing emerged. She apologizes for not being able to provide direction, but reassures the group that she has faith in their ability to act with heart and purpose. When pressed further, she clarifies that no additional insight arose, even on simpler questions such as whether the [[Immortals]] wanted or could help [[Asildu]] at all.

=Avatar of the Summoning Valenal, Elemental Conduit of Elanthia=
[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft. His research allowed entities from the [[Elemental Planes]] to influence his mind, and these entities are now concerned about recent energetic disruptions amid the chaos of wild magic.

He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He claims that energy is being stolen from the plane in small, discrete amounts thanks to non-sorcerous magic. This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

He explains that casting sorcery helps restore natural balance, allowing elementals to flow freely through planar boundaries as intended, and warns that without this process, all planes would eventually stagnate and die. He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy.

= Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar=
[[Asildu]] presents himself as a knowledgeable intermediary between the [[Heralds]] and mortals. He consistently warns against the use of sorcery, describing it as a dangerous "disease" that has caused an imbalance in the world. He portrays the [[Heralds]] as powerful beings focused solely on maintaining balance, without concern for individual mortals, and claims that the increased use of sorcery over centuries has angered the [[Heralds]], leading to their interventions (such as the encasing of various Clans). While he admits to not having all the answers, [[Asildu]] remains committed to sharing his knowledge and warning adventurers about the potential consequences of continued sorcery use.

He openly admits he is wrong about some details but bluntly refuses to apologize. In exchanges with [[Ezerak]] and others, he maintains that everyone would act the same in his position, justifying the [[Heralds]]' actions as inevitable. [[Saragos]] presses him about missing people, and [[Asildu]] flatly tells him his wife will not be returned. Eventually, after withstanding a series of magical attacks, Asildu dramatically summons vines that encase him and then vanishes, leaving the adventurers to battle the drakes and heraldic forces he has brought with him.

When they gather outside the southern gate, he chastises them for rejecting his earlier warnings and insists that the [[Heralds]] now empower him to show the truth of their strength. He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion. Throughout, [[Asildu]] maintains that he tried to help and to save lives, but that the adventurers' arrogance and disregard for his message have led to their impending downfall.

When challenged, he insists that others never cared to understand him and that his story has always been judged unfairly. He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true. Adventurers mock him throughout, but [[Asildu]] continues to press that they underestimate the [[Heralds]]' power and overestimate their own. He warns that mortals are like rats gnawing at the [[Heralds]]' once perfect house, and that they will no longer be tolerated. [[Asildu]] closes by declaring that death is the only outcome for those who persist in defiance.

He insists that he once tried to warn people, but claims they chose instead to plot his murder and spread lies about him. To him, the attacks serve as both punishment and proof, as he says his life now belongs fully to the [[Heralds]]. [[Asildu]] accuses adventurers of rejecting logic and reason, asserting that intelligence has been lost to arrogance. In battle, he wields his walking stick with deadly agility and repeatedly unleashes elemental power — flame, frost, and storm — against those who oppose him. He mocks his attackers, calling them gnats, and frames their resistance as futile against the strength given to him by the [[Heralds]]. Even as he is injured, he continues to fight fiercely, maintaining that the devastation unfolding is the direct result of mortals' own stubborn choices.

[[Asildu]] reveals that he suppresses the [[Heralds]]' overwhelming anger through the use of magic and a song, though he does not know how long this clarity can last. He expresses doubt about surviving without the [[Heralds]]' connection, explaining that their power is immense and difficult to resist. When pressed, he offers to share what he feels, and unleashes a wave of pure rage upon the group, allowing them to experience the burden he carries before quickly withdrawing it. [[Asildu]] admits he does not wish to be consumed by anger, but remains uncertain whether he has the strength to free himself from the [[Heralds]]' hold. Ultimately, he is seized by their influence mid-conversation, his body twisting unnaturally as he cries out, "The [[Heralds]] demand unwavering submission," before dissolving into sunlight and disappearing.

She passionately pleads with adventurers to cease using sorcerous magic, offering blue irises as tokens to those who pledge to do so.

She struggles with the resistance she faces from adventurers, sometimes expressing frustration at their perceived hubris and inability to see the larger picture. Despite challenges and moments of doubt, Miraena continues her efforts to spread the [[Heralds]]' message, organizing events to share information and emphasizing the importance of restoring balance by ceasing sorcery use.

She pleads with the gathered adventurers to cease the use of sorcery for the greater good, including for the safety of her distant village. She appears naive about city life and somewhat fearful of adventurers, but is determined in her mission. She also gives blue irises to several people, telling them that she has grown them herself and that they will serve as a reminder for who she is trying to save.

She expresses her belief that [[Asildu}] has been altered in some fundamental way and was no longer truly himself. She has attempted to reach him through the gweth, but he offers no response, which she takes as troubling confirmation of her fears. Her words carry both sorrow and urgency, as she cautions those present not to underestimate the dangers or dismiss her warnings. She frames the struggle not as a matter of politics but as a matter of survival and integrity, urging those gathered to remain vigilant against forces that could erode their humanity. With this somber message delivered, she takes her leave.

It's primary concern was addressing an unacceptable imbalance in mana flow, which is weakening planar boundaries. It appears to be methodically gathering data and calculating steps to restore this imbalance, potentially with local cooperation. It suggests that some sorcery might be necessary to counter the imbalance, though "teleologic" magic is deemed unacceptable. Before departing, it emphasizes ongoing observation and future action to restore equilibrium.

It aims to maintain Balance in the [[Plane of Abiding]], which is currently threatened by mana fluctuations, and believes that restoring the system to its state prior to these fluctuations is ideal. It is constructing a measuring device using various materials to gather data and refine probability calculations, which will help determine steps to regain Balance. It suggests that sorcerous casting at specific locations, including one west of the city, could be an effective approach to improving Balance, though it lacks full data on the precise mechanisms at play.

It explains that its calculations show no circumstances where the missing people can be returned without resolving the current imbalance in magical energy, and confirms that the device being constructed will have no direct impact on the plane beyond physically existing in it. It emphasizes that the amount of mana manipulated is more important than the number of spells cast, but all casting is helpful in restoring balance. It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

She expresses regret for disrupting the peace but maintains that her actions were in accordance with the will of the [[Immortals]]. She urges others to heed the call of the gods and find a way to empower them against the [[Heralds]].

She is surprised to hear that Nawain's Godling is free, and questions whether the [[Immortals]] would approve of such developments, finding it hard to believe they support sorcery. She shares a lesson from her vision, comparing it to cooking: if left unattended, things will boil over.

He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]].

This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy.

[[Asildu]] presents himself as a knowledgeable intermediary between the [[Heralds]] and mortals. He consistently warns against the use of sorcery, describing it as a dangerous "disease" that has caused an imbalance in the world. He portrays the [[Heralds]] as powerful beings focused solely on maintaining balance, without concern for individual mortals, and claims that the increased use of sorcery over centuries has angered the [[Heralds]], leading to their interventions (such as the encasing of various Clans). While he admits to not having all the answers, [[Asildu]] remains committed to sharing his knowledge and warning adventurers about the potential consequences of continued sorcery use.

He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion.

He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true.

She passionately pleads with adventurers to cease using sorcerous magic, offering blue irises as tokens to those who pledge to do so. As events unfold, her message becomes more urgent, explaining that disasters like the encasing of Clans is the [[Heralds]]' attempts to make people heed their warnings. She struggles with the resistance she faces from adventurers, sometimes expressing frustration at their perceived hubris and inability to see the larger picture. Despite challenges and moments of doubt, Miraena continues her efforts to spread the [[Heralds]]' message, organizing events to share information and emphasizing the importance of restoring balance by ceasing sorcery use.

She shares detailed, apocalyptic visions of destruction caused by unchecked use of sorcery. While uncertain about many magical concepts, [[Miraena]] believes using things like wands and harnessing wild mana surges might be safe. When questioned why the Heralds chose her, she thought perhaps the [[Heralds]] saw her as a blank slate, one able to spread their message due to her lack of magical ability and firsthand experience with destruction.

She emphasizes that adventurers' continued use of sorcery is causing widespread damage, and that the destruction of the Clans is a direct consequence of their refusal to heed earlier, less dramatic warnings. She says that the relief felt after ceasing sorcerous casting is proof that stopping sorcery is what restores balance. She expresses frustration at adventurers' hubris and their inability to see the larger picture, comparing them to people who shake their fists at rain clouds instead of protecting their crops. She contemplates giving up on her mission, and leaving the fate of the world doomed.

It emphasizes that the amount of mana manipulated is more important than the number of spells cast, but all casting is helpful in restoring balance. It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

=Avatar of the Summoning Valenal, Elemental Conduit of Elanthia=
[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft. His research allowed entities from the [[Elemental Planes]] to influence his mind, and these entities are now concerned about recent energetic disruptions amid the chaos of wild magic.

He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He claims that energy is being stolen from the plane in small, discrete amounts thanks to non-sorcerous magic. This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Valenal]], initially possessed by an earth elemental, states that the chosen location has favorable planar intersections, describing it as a basin collecting sorcerous energy and a pleasant place to experience the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He explains that casting sorcery helps restore natural balance, allowing elementals to flow freely through planar boundaries as intended, and warns that without this process, all planes would eventually stagnate and die. He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy. Upon regaining control of his body, [[Valenal]] appears disoriented and tired, unaware of his actions while possessed, and describes the experience as being like a glove for the elemental.

He believes that the [[Heralds]] are draining pure mana from the [[Plane of Abiding]], causing instability, and suggests that increased sorcerous casting might help temporarily. [[Valenal]] admits that much of his knowledge is based on conjecture and encourages skepticism from his audience. He expresses uncertainty about many aspects of the situation but believes that a "titanic struggle" is occurring between powerful entities. [[Valenal]] emphasizes the need to find a long-term solution to the mana depletion problem, as sorcerous casting is only a stopgap measure.

LADYMOFFITT: /* Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar */

= Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar=
[[Asildu]] presents himself as a knowledgeable intermediary between the [[Heralds]] and mortals. He consistently warns against the use of sorcery, describing it as a dangerous "disease" that has caused an imbalance in the world. He portrays the [[Heralds]] as powerful beings focused solely on maintaining balance, without concern for individual mortals, and claims that the increased use of sorcery over centuries has angered the [[Heralds]], leading to their interventions (such as the encasing of various Clans). While he admits to not having all the answers, [[Asildu]] remains committed to sharing his knowledge and warning adventurers about the potential consequences of continued sorcery use.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |Breath of the Heralds [[Asildu]], a Human Scholar, made his debut at an Overhealers Anonymous meeting, presenting himself as knowledgeable about the [[Heralds]] while maintaining an air of mystery. His primary focus was warning against the use of sorcery, which he described as a dangerous "disease" requiring a cure. When questioned about the missing adventurers, [[Asildu]] deflected, suggesting that finding a cure for sorcery might lead to their discovery, while denying any Herald involvement in their disappearance.

He clarifies that while he doesn't have all the answers and has been bombarded with questions, his aim is to understand and share what he knows rather than to interrogate or be interrogated.

He acknowledges his limitations and lack of answers to some questions but assured his commitment to providing insight where possible.

He suggests that the disappearance of the five people might be coincidental rather than directly caused by the [[Heralds]].

He warns that if the [[Heralds]] decide to show themselves, it won't be a discussion and likely won't go well for anyone. He states that his connection with the Heralds isn't one of words, and he doesn't know their names, viewing them as focused on the bigger picture rather than individuals. He expresses approval for those who have pledged not to use sorcery and hopes his message will reach more people before it's too late.

He emphasizes that pure mana is needed to restore balance and urges adventurers to consider hosting pure mana parties instead of sorcery events.

[[Asildu]] dramatically raises his arms, causing the ground to quake and whip-like vines to emerge, which encase him before receding and leaving no trace of him behind. Following [[Asildu]]'s disappearance, a company of drakes attacks the area.

He openly admits he is wrong about some details but bluntly refuses to apologize. In exchanges with [[Ezerak]] and others, he maintains that everyone would act the same in his position, justifying the [[Heralds]]' actions as inevitable. [[Saragos]] presses him about missing people, and [[Asildu]] flatly tells him his wife will not be returned. Eventually, after withstanding a series of magical attacks, Asildu dramatically summons vines that encase him and then vanishes, leaving the adventurers to battle the drakes and heraldic forces he has brought with him.

When they gather outside the southern gate, he chastises them for rejecting his earlier warnings and insists that the [[Heralds]] now empower him to show the truth of their strength. He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion. Throughout, [[Asildu]] maintains that he tried to help and to save lives, but that the adventurers' arrogance and disregard for his message have led to their impending downfall.

He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true. Adventurers mock him throughout, but [[Asildu]] continues to press that they underestimate the [[Heralds]]' power and overestimate their own. He warns that mortals are like rats gnawing at the [[Heralds]]' once perfect house, and that they will no longer be tolerated. [[Asildu]] closes by declaring that death is the only outcome for those who persist in defiance.

[[Asildu]] accuses adventurers of rejecting logic and reason, asserting that intelligence has been lost to arrogance. In battle, he wields his walking stick with deadly agility and repeatedly unleashes elemental power — flame, frost, and storm — against those who oppose him. He mocks his attackers, calling them gnats, and frames their resistance as futile against the strength given to him by the [[Heralds]].

[[Asildu]] reveals that he suppresses the [[Heralds]]' overwhelming anger through the use of magic and a song, though he does not know how long this clarity can last. He expresses doubt about surviving without the [[Heralds]]' connection, explaining that their power is immense and difficult to resist. When pressed, he offers to share what he feels, and unleashes a wave of pure rage upon the group, allowing them to experience the burden he carries before quickly withdrawing it. [[Asildu]] admits he does not wish to be consumed by anger, but remains uncertain whether he has the strength to free himself from the [[Heralds]]' hold. Ultimately, he is seized by their influence mid-conversation, his body twisting unnaturally as he cries out, "The [[Heralds]] demand unwavering submission," before dissolving into sunlight and disappearing.

He emphasizes that he is not a necromancer or sorcerer, but a scholar who made choices based on information that may have been misleading.

=Messenger Miraena, Voice of the Heralds of Elanthia=
[[Miraena]], a simple farmer turned messenger, claims to have received visions from the [[Heralds]] showing the catastrophic effects of sorcery on the world. She passionately pleads with adventurers to cease using sorcerous magic, offering blue irises as tokens to those who pledge to do so. As events unfold, her message becomes more urgent, explaining that disasters like the encasing of Clans is the [[Heralds]]' attempts to make people heed their warnings. She struggles with the resistance she faces from adventurers, sometimes expressing frustration at their perceived hubris and inability to see the larger picture. Despite challenges and moments of doubt, Miraena continues her efforts to spread the [[Heralds]]' message, organizing events to share information and emphasizing the importance of restoring balance by ceasing sorcery use.

A simple farmer and messenger from a distant village, she claims to have had a "vision" from the [[Heralds]] in which the ultimate disastrous effects of the use of sorcery were made clear to her. She pleads with the gathered adventurers to cease the use of sorcery for the greater good, including for the safety of her distant village. She appears naive about city life and somewhat fearful of adventurers, but is determined in her mission. She also gives blue irises to several people, telling them that she has grown them herself and that they will serve as a reminder for who she is trying to save.

She pleads with the gathered adventurers to cease using sorcerous magic for the greater good, offering blue irises as tokens of appreciation to those who pledge to do so. Throughout the conversation, she maintains a naive and humble demeanor, often apologizing for her lack of knowledge about city life and adventurer matters. Despite facing some skepticism and challenging questions, [[Miraena]] remains determined in her mission, comparing the cessation of sorcery to mending a fishing net and emphasizing the importance of protecting common folk.

It explains that its calculations show no circumstances where the missing people can be returned without resolving the current imbalance in magical energy, and confirms that the device being constructed will have no direct impact on the plane beyond physically existing in it. It emphasizes that the amount of mana manipulated is more important than the number of spells cast, but all casting is helpful in restoring balance. It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |Conqueror of the Wilds [[Unaka]], Maul of [[Truffenyi]] made her first appearance at the Eye of Truffenyi, in the Crossing Temple. She shared a vision bestowed upon her by Truffenyi, filled with symbols such as a changing disk. The vision bestowed upon her new abilities, such as understanding multiple languages and the power to cast Cleric spells, despite being a Paladin. The vision also warned that while cross-realm casting is acceptable, necromancy and high Sorcery are dangerous. Truffenyi's message emphasized the need to protect and safeguard civilization.

She reflects on the nature of the Bulwark, speculating that it might be vibrating but not broken, and questions whether it's permeable. When asked about a vision involving a wooden box transforming into an orb, she considers whether it might relate to the Bulwark. The group then discusses the possibility that someone is stealing magical energy, and [[Unaka]], as a voice for [[Truffenyi]], agrees to pray for answers about the [[Heralds]]' involvement in these events. They plan an excursion to [[Zengmodaleth]], where they hope to observe the disturbances more clearly due to the lack of Life mana in the area.

She shows interest in learning, admitting she does not know much about the [[Prydaen]] gods but expressing a desire to understand. [[Unaka]] also offers comfort and support to others, including hugs and snacks, positioning herself as a steady, compassionate presence within the group.

=Avatar of the Summoning Valenal, Elemental Conduit of Elanthia=
[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft. His research allowed entities from the [[Elemental Planes]] to influence his mind, and these entities are now concerned about recent energetic disruptions amid the chaos of wild magic.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Valenal]] was first spotted in the Crossing Empath Courtyard. He appears nervous and socially awkward, and struggles with social cues. He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He claims that energy is being stolen from the plane in small, discrete amounts thanks to non-sorcerous magic. This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

He explains that casting sorcery helps restore natural balance, allowing elementals to flow freely through planar boundaries as intended, and warns that without this process, all planes would eventually stagnate and die. He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy. Upon regaining control of his body, [[Valenal]] appears disoriented and tired, unaware of his actions while possessed, and describes the experience as being like a glove for the elemental.

LADYMOFFITT: /* Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar */

= Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar=
[[Asildu]] presents himself as a knowledgeable intermediary between the [[Heralds]] and mortals. He consistently warns against the use of sorcery, describing it as a dangerous "disease" that has caused an imbalance in the world. He portrays the [[Heralds]] as powerful beings focused solely on maintaining balance, without concern for individual mortals, and claims that the increased use of sorcery over centuries has angered the [[Heralds]], leading to their interventions (such as the encasing of various Clans). While he admits to not having all the answers, [[Asildu]] remains committed to sharing his knowledge and warning adventurers about the potential consequences of continued sorcery use.

When questioned about the missing adventurers, [[Asildu]] deflected, suggesting that finding a cure for sorcery might lead to their discovery, while denying any Herald involvement in their disappearance.

He suggests that the disappearance of the five people might be coincidental rather than directly caused by the [[Heralds]].

[[Asildu]] dramatically raises his arms, causing the ground to quake and whip-like vines to emerge, which encase him before receding and leaving no trace of him behind. Following [[Asildu]]'s disappearance, a company of drakes attacks the area.

He openly admits he is wrong about some details but bluntly refuses to apologize. In exchanges with [[Ezerak]] and others, he maintains that everyone would act the same in his position, justifying the [[Heralds]]' actions as inevitable. [[Saragos]] presses him about missing people, and [[Asildu]] flatly tells him his wife will not be returned. Eventually, after withstanding a series of magical attacks, Asildu dramatically summons vines that encase him and then vanishes, leaving the adventurers to battle the drakes and heraldic forces he has brought with him.

When they gather outside the southern gate, he chastises them for rejecting his earlier warnings and insists that the [[Heralds]] now empower him to show the truth of their strength. He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion. Throughout, [[Asildu]] maintains that he tried to help and to save lives, but that the adventurers' arrogance and disregard for his message have led to their impending downfall.

He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true. Adventurers mock him throughout, but [[Asildu]] continues to press that they underestimate the [[Heralds]]' power and overestimate their own. He warns that mortals are like rats gnawing at the [[Heralds]]' once perfect house, and that they will no longer be tolerated.

[[Asildu]] accuses adventurers of rejecting logic and reason, asserting that intelligence has been lost to arrogance. In battle, he wields his walking stick with deadly agility and repeatedly unleashes elemental power — flame, frost, and storm — against those who oppose him. He mocks his attackers, calling them gnats, and frames their resistance as futile against the strength given to him by the [[Heralds]].

[[Asildu]] reveals that he suppresses the [[Heralds]]' overwhelming anger through the use of magic and a song, though he does not know how long this clarity can last. He expresses doubt about surviving without the [[Heralds]]' connection, explaining that their power is immense and difficult to resist. When pressed, he offers to share what he feels, and unleashes a wave of pure rage upon the group, allowing them to experience the burden he carries before quickly withdrawing it. [[Asildu]] admits he does not wish to be consumed by anger, but remains uncertain whether he has the strength to free himself from the [[Heralds]]' hold. Ultimately, he is seized by their influence mid-conversation, his body twisting unnaturally as he cries out, "The [[Heralds]] demand unwavering submission," before dissolving into sunlight and disappearing.

He says he is in a swamp and wonders if the stones there will protect him. His words show desperation and uncertainty, alternating between seeking refuge and doubting his own safety. [[Asildu]] responds to encouragement from adventurers urging him to remember who he is, but his replies remain fragmented.

His retreat to the Zaulfung and mention of the stones underline his belief that they may provide him shelter from whatever pursues or controls him.

[[Miraena]], a simple farmer turned messenger, claims to have received visions from the [[Heralds]] showing the catastrophic effects of sorcery on the world. She passionately pleads with adventurers to cease using sorcerous magic, offering blue irises as tokens to those who pledge to do so. As events unfold, her message becomes more urgent, explaining that disasters like the encasing of Clans is the [[Heralds]]' attempts to make people heed their warnings. She struggles with the resistance she faces from adventurers, sometimes expressing frustration at their perceived hubris and inability to see the larger picture. Despite challenges and moments of doubt, Miraena continues her efforts to spread the [[Heralds]]' message, organizing events to share information and emphasizing the importance of restoring balance by ceasing sorcery use.

She pleads with the gathered adventurers to cease the use of sorcery for the greater good, including for the safety of her distant village. She appears naive about city life and somewhat fearful of adventurers, but is determined in her mission.

It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

It emphasizes that the prisoners remain near Arhat's Tower and urges mortals to be ready to act swiftly when the [[Immortals]] move. It states that while the overall Balance is still likely to be maintained, the conflict between [[Heralds]] and [[Immortals]] does not resolve in this action. When asked about cooperation, it dismisses the idea that the [[Heralds]] would ever work with mortals or [[Immortals]], pointing to their refusal to allow sorcery earlier. It clarifies that additional sorcery remains useful - both to irritate the [[Heralds]] and to help restore Balance to mana. Regarding other risks, he notes that data is scarce but current probabilities do not indicate additional threats arising with the prisoners' release. Concluding, [[Liraxes]] reiterates his role as observer and departs, leaving instructions to watch for [[Immortal]] activity and be prepared to respond.

It states that their power is gathering, and the critical moment is approaching. [[Liraxes]] emphasizes that [[Immortal]] victory is improbable under normal conditions but possible if mortals act at certain junctions, and it insists it will not reveal [[Immortal]] plans directly for fear of leaks to [[Herald]] allies. Instead, it announces that it will repurpose the machine and will need adventurers to contribute mana to a complex sorcerous pattern at the right time. This act, it explains, will disrupt the [[Heralds]], acting as a powerful distraction even if not outright destructive. [[Liraxes]] acknowledges that too much sorcery could become an issue eventually, but argues that the current crisis requires it and aligns with the long-term survival of mortals. Before departing, it assures the group that it will send word when the Immortals make their move, instructing them to watch the skies for signs that the time has come.

The machine's activation causes shifting symbols, energy surges, and eventually the dramatic reappearance of the Heart constellation, which [[Liraxes]] declares a successful result. It explains that the reconfiguration is a step toward restoring balance and that the machine may serve as a weapon against the [[Heralds]] when the [[Immortals]] launch their full assault. [[Liraxes]] adds that assistance will be needed later in constructing a sorcerous pattern to empower the machine further.

[[Liraxes]] clarifies that the [[Heralds]] are not directly responsible for Wild Magic but have worsened it by suppressing sorcery, which he identifies as essential to maintaining Balance. It reports that the [[Heralds]] siphon mana, especially holy mana, weakening the [[Immortals]], though sorcerous mana remains untouchable to them. Finally, it emphasizes that casting sorcery in large amounts is the key to restoring Balance, even if many find the practice distasteful.

She shared a vision bestowed upon her by Truffenyi, filled with symbols such as a changing disk. The vision bestowed upon her new abilities, such as understanding multiple languages and the power to cast Cleric spells, despite being a Paladin. The vision also warned that while cross-realm casting is acceptable, necromancy and high Sorcery are dangerous. Truffenyi's message emphasized the need to protect and safeguard civilization.

When asked about a vision involving a wooden box transforming into an orb, she considers whether it might relate to the Bulwark. The group then discusses the possibility that someone is stealing magical energy, and [[Unaka]], as a voice for [[Truffenyi]], agrees to pray for answers about the [[Heralds]]' involvement in these events. They plan an excursion to [[Zengmodaleth]], where they hope to observe the disturbances more clearly due to the lack of Life mana in the area.

She explains that she meditated deeply on questions posed by [[Avrenka]] regarding whether [[Asildu]]’s Heraldic influence could be countered by sorcery, Immortal intervention, brute force, or artifacts. She admits that despite her efforts, she found no clear answers in her visions from [[Truffenyi]], though she believes the visions still hold wisdom not yet uncovered. [[Unaka]] describes how the divine visions feel overwhelming, like a waterfall pouring into an acorn, and how she sorts through them to find guidance, but in this case, nothing emerged. She apologizes for not being able to provide direction, but reassures the group that she has faith in their ability to act with heart and purpose. When pressed further, she clarifies that no additional insight arose, even on simpler questions such as whether the [[Immortals]] wanted or could help [[Asildu]] at all. Though her statements are modest and cautious, [[Unaka]] emphasizes faith, perseverance, and trust in the group’s ability to move forward despite her lack of concrete answers.

She proposes the idea of carving ox figurines or beads and placing them around civilization to imbue them with [[Truffenyi]]’s presence. She also offers to meditate on questions for the group, showing openness to continue supporting the community spiritually. While speaking with others like [[Kethrai]] and [[Mazilyn]], she balances humility with her role as prophet, expressing both caution about overstepping and conviction in strengthening [[Truffenyi]]’s influence.

=Avatar of the Summoning Valenal, Elemental Conduit of Elanthia=
[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft. His research allowed entities from the [[Elemental Planes]] to influence his mind, and these entities are now concerned about recent energetic disruptions amid the chaos of wild magic.

He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He claims that energy is being stolen from the plane in small, discrete amounts thanks to non-sorcerous magic. This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

He explains that casting sorcery helps restore natural balance, allowing elementals to flow freely through planar boundaries as intended, and warns that without this process, all planes would eventually stagnate and die. He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy. Upon regaining control of his body, [[Valenal]] appears disoriented and tired, unaware of his actions while possessed, and describes the experience as being like a glove for the elemental.

LADYMOFFITT: /* Steward of Recursion Liraxes, Warden of Adaptation */

= Breath of the Heralds Asildu, a Human Scholar=
[[Asildu]] presents himself as a knowledgeable intermediary between the [[Heralds]] and mortals. He consistently warns against the use of sorcery, describing it as a dangerous "disease" that has caused an imbalance in the world. He portrays the [[Heralds]] as powerful beings focused solely on maintaining balance, without concern for individual mortals, and claims that the increased use of sorcery over centuries has angered the [[Heralds]], leading to their interventions (such as the encasing of various Clans). While he admits to not having all the answers, [[Asildu]] remains committed to sharing his knowledge and warning adventurers about the potential consequences of continued sorcery use.

When questioned about the missing adventurers, [[Asildu]] deflected, suggesting that finding a cure for sorcery might lead to their discovery, while denying any Herald involvement in their disappearance.

[[Asildu]] dramatically raises his arms, causing the ground to quake and whip-like vines to emerge, which encase him before receding and leaving no trace of him behind.

He openly admits he is wrong about some details but bluntly refuses to apologize. In exchanges with [[Ezerak]] and others, he maintains that everyone would act the same in his position, justifying the [[Heralds]]' actions as inevitable. [[Saragos]] presses him about missing people, and [[Asildu]] flatly tells him his wife will not be returned. Eventually, after withstanding a series of magical attacks, Asildu dramatically summons vines that encase him and then vanishes, leaving the adventurers to battle the drakes and heraldic forces he has brought with him.

When they gather outside the southern gate, he chastises them for rejecting his earlier warnings and insists that the [[Heralds]] now empower him to show the truth of their strength. He accuses the adventurers of valuing their own power over the lives of innocents, and of plotting to murder him simply because they rejected his message. To prove his claims, he slams his staff into the ground, raising a spire of writhing stone and vine, carrying himself above the crowd as the [[Heralds]]' gaze falls upon them. From atop the spire, [[Asildu]] warns that many will face the [[Heralds]]' wrath but offers a slim chance of survival for those who renounce sorcery and prove themselves "worthy". He derides the [[Immortals]] as weak, claiming they once bowed to the [[Heralds]] and that mortals' faith in them is a delusion.

He describes himself as the one who will have the last laugh, asserting that death will soon prove his words true. Adventurers mock him throughout, but [[Asildu]] continues to press that they underestimate the [[Heralds]]' power and overestimate their own. He warns that mortals are like rats gnawing at the [[Heralds]]' once perfect house, and that they will no longer be tolerated.

In battle, he wields his walking stick with deadly agility and repeatedly unleashes elemental power — flame, frost, and storm — against those who oppose him.

Throughout the invasion, [[Asildu]] alternates between sardonic remarks and calculated assaults, repeatedly healing his own wounds while overwhelming others with fire and frost. He toys with those who confront him, dismissing suggestions that he could turn away from the [[Heralds]], and instead insists that everyone seems content only to kill him.

[[Asildu]] reveals that he suppresses the [[Heralds]]' overwhelming anger through the use of magic and a song, though he does not know how long this clarity can last. He expresses doubt about surviving without the [[Heralds]]' connection, explaining that their power is immense and difficult to resist. When pressed, he offers to share what he feels, and unleashes a wave of pure rage upon the group, allowing them to experience the burden he carries before quickly withdrawing it. [[Asildu]] admits he does not wish to be consumed by anger, but remains uncertain whether he has the strength to free himself from the [[Heralds]]' hold. Ultimately, he is seized by their influence mid-conversation, his body twisting unnaturally as he cries out, "The [[Heralds]] demand unwavering submission," before dissolving into sunlight and disappearing.

[[Miraena]], a simple farmer turned messenger, claims to have received visions from the [[Heralds]] showing the catastrophic effects of sorcery on the world. She passionately pleads with adventurers to cease using sorcerous magic, offering blue irises as tokens to those who pledge to do so. As events unfold, her message becomes more urgent, explaining that disasters like the encasing of Clans is the [[Heralds]]' attempts to make people heed their warnings. She struggles with the resistance she faces from adventurers, sometimes expressing frustration at their perceived hubris and inability to see the larger picture. Despite challenges and moments of doubt, Miraena continues her efforts to spread the [[Heralds]]' message, organizing events to share information and emphasizing the importance of restoring balance by ceasing sorcery use.

It emphasizes that the amount of mana manipulated is more important than the number of spells cast, but all casting is helpful in restoring balance. It also notes that while the removal of energy-absorbing entities seems likely to be necessary for balance, it may not be sufficient for long-term stability.

Finally, it indicates that there will be further countermeasures from the [[Heralds]], but the journey to Balance continues.

When asked about cooperation, it dismisses the idea that the [[Heralds]] would ever work with mortals or [[Immortals]], pointing to their refusal to allow sorcery earlier. It clarifies that additional sorcery remains useful - both to irritate the [[Heralds]] and to help restore Balance to mana. Regarding other risks, he notes that data is scarce but current probabilities do not indicate additional threats arising with the prisoners' release. Concluding, [[Liraxes]] reiterates his role as observer and departs, leaving instructions to watch for [[Immortal]] activity and be prepared to respond.

[[Liraxes]] emphasizes that [[Immortal]] victory is improbable under normal conditions but possible if mortals act at certain junctions, and it insists it will not reveal [[Immortal]] plans directly for fear of leaks to [[Herald]] allies. Instead, it announces that it will repurpose the machine and will need adventurers to contribute mana to a complex sorcerous pattern at the right time.

[[Liraxes]] clarifies that the [[Heralds]] are not directly responsible for Wild Magic but have worsened it by suppressing sorcery, which he identifies as essential to maintaining Balance. It reports that the [[Heralds]] siphon mana, especially holy mana, weakening the [[Immortals]], though sorcerous mana remains untouchable to them.

They plan an excursion to [[Zengmodaleth]], where they hope to observe the disturbances more clearly due to the lack of Life mana in the area.

With a golden halo flaring above her head, she touches chosen participants, granting them visions that reveal scenes of civilization blossoming, hidden darkness in its midst, or symbolic depictions of magic and power. Each vision differs, and [[Unaka]] listens intently as participants describe what they see, nodding in acknowledgment and affirming the difficulty of conveying such divine messages. She emphasizes that prayer and devotion provide the foundation for receiving these glimpses, and that the visions carry meaning that must be considered thoughtfully. [[Unaka]] remains calm and focused throughout, gently guiding the group and reinforcing that her role is to serve as a conduit for [[Truffenyi]]'s will. By the end of the ceremony, she leaves the adventurers with both inspiration and the challenge of interpreting the [[Immortal]]'s message.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Unaka]] presents herself as a being distinct from both [[Immortals]] and [[Heralds]], explaining that her nature and motives follow their own course. She emphasizes that she does not act out of cruelty but from necessity, and that mortals often misunderstand her intentions. When pressed about the balance of power, she states that both [[Immortals]] and [[Heralds]] cling too tightly to control, while she exists outside their conflict. She challenges adventurers to broaden their perspective, noting that their devotion to the [[Immortals]] may blind them to other truths. [[Unaka]] asserts that destruction can be a form of creation, and that what mortals see as loss may be essential for renewal. Throughout the discussion, she remains composed, often turning questions back on her audience to encourage reflection rather than providing direct answers. In the end, she departs calmly, leaving behind a reminder that her words are not meant to persuade but to provoke thought.

She explains that she meditated deeply on questions posed by [[Avrenka]] regarding whether [[Asildu]]’s Heraldic influence could be countered by sorcery, Immortal intervention, brute force, or artifacts. She admits that despite her efforts, she found no clear answers in her visions from [[Truffenyi]], though she believes the visions still hold wisdom not yet uncovered. [[Unaka]] describes how the divine visions feel overwhelming, like a waterfall pouring into an acorn, and how she sorts through them to find guidance, but in this case, nothing emerged. She apologizes for not being able to provide direction, but reassures the group that she has faith in their ability to act with heart and purpose. When pressed further, she clarifies that no additional insight arose, even on simpler questions such as whether the [[Immortals]] wanted or could help [[Asildu]] at all. Though her statements are modest and cautious, [[Unaka]] emphasizes faith, perseverance, and trust in the group’s ability to move forward despite her lack of concrete answers.

She acknowledges uncertainty about whether certain rituals, such as shark’s tooth offerings, would directly aid [[Asildu]], but affirms that empowering and connecting with [[Truffenyi]] is valuable. She proposes the idea of carving ox figurines or beads and placing them around civilization to imbue them with [[Truffenyi]]’s presence. She also offers to meditate on questions for the group, showing openness to continue supporting the community spiritually. While speaking with others like [[Kethrai]] and [[Mazilyn]], she balances humility with her role as prophet, expressing both caution about overstepping and conviction in strengthening [[Truffenyi]]’s influence.

=Avatar of the Summoning Valenal, Elemental Conduit of Elanthia=
[[Valenal]], a former researcher in inter-planar communication, believes that energy theft through non-sorcerous magic is causing a dangerous imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He urges caution against those opposing sorcery, suspecting they may be involved in the theft. His research allowed entities from the [[Elemental Planes]] to influence his mind, and these entities are now concerned about recent energetic disruptions amid the chaos of wild magic.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Valenal]] was first spotted in the Crossing Empath Courtyard. He appears nervous and socially awkward, and struggles with social cues. He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He claims that energy is being stolen from the plane in small, discrete amounts thanks to non-sorcerous magic. This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.

| style="padding: 10px; vertical-align: top;" |[[Valenal]], initially possessed by an earth elemental, states that the chosen location has favorable planar intersections, describing it as a basin collecting sorcerous energy and a pleasant place to experience the [[Plane of Abiding]]. He explains that casting sorcery helps restore natural balance, allowing elementals to flow freely through planar boundaries as intended, and warns that without this process, all planes would eventually stagnate and die. He says that sorcery generates energy that cannot be intercepted by the entities absorbing energy from the plane, thus replacing some of what is being lost and maintaining the porosity of planar boundaries. He emphasizes the scale of forces involved, suggesting that a sudden catastrophic imbalance is unlikely, and that before an imbalance in the opposite direction could occur, the system would pass through a period of normalcy. Upon regaining control of his body, [[Valenal]] appears disoriented and tired, unaware of his actions while possessed, and describes the experience as being like a glove for the elemental.

He believes that the [[Heralds]] are draining pure mana from the [[Plane of Abiding]], causing instability, and suggests that increased sorcerous casting might help temporarily. [[Valenal]] admits that much of his knowledge is based on conjecture and encourages skepticism from his audience. He expresses uncertainty about many aspects of the situation but believes that a "titanic struggle" is occurring between powerful entities. [[Valenal]] emphasizes the need to find a long-term solution to the mana depletion problem, as sorcerous casting is only a stopgap measure.
