[Temple of Light, Grand Hall]
An alabaster dome, inset with crystal prisms and held aloft by vaulted arches, soars above the polished tile floor.

A series of detailed mosaic animal images symbolizing the deities paves the path between the fountain and surrounding arches.

Visions Received

Note: These visions were received by the respective five individuals and are shared with their permission for documentation purposes. They were not visible to everyone.

Briaen: Berengaria
The light around you flares with blinding authority.

Time slows and the air takes on a golden light. Everything goes silent.

A radiant figure emerges, bathed in the golden hues of wheat. Her face is serene and filled with an endless well of compassion. Her long robes shimmer like the first rays of morning, casting warmth and comfort. By her side, a majestic cow with soft eyes steps forward, its coat glowing with auroral hues. There s a message in its gaze, a command yet unspoken, a truth it carries from the break of dawn.

As you reach out to touch the cow, a flurry of disparate images fight in the back of your mind for expression. Through the quick succession of flashes, you see Dirge.

Dried vines and brecciated rock incorporated into one side of the encasement make for a weakness.

The woman says, "Dawnsworn of my name, too many are lost. The time has come to light the way. Tell them. And hurry."

The woman smiles and a warm glow intensifies for a moment, then dims, leaving behind a sense of peace and hope, as though the dawn itself has touched your soul. She and the cow vanish.

Nawain: Enelne
The sound of fluttering wings cascades around you, growing louder with each passing moment.

Before you, the air stirs as a delicate butterfly appears, its iridescent wings shimmering with every hue of cerulean and lilac. It flutters slowly, gracefully, its silent flight speaking of profound wisdom and the endless cycle of life. As it dances upon the breeze, you feel a sense of growth unfurling in your heart, a quiet nudge toward reflection and understanding.

The butterfly serenely floats across the area, landing on your arm. Suddenly, a flurry of disparate images fight in the back of your mind for expression. Through the quick succession of flashes, you see Dirge.

Dried vines and brecciated rock incorporated into one side of the encasement make for a weakness.

A lilting feminine voice echoes all around you, firmly stating, Keep true to the path you have chosen and to your new pack. You will keep them, and they will keep you. The time has come for a new chapter in this story, my Repentant. Tell them. And hurry.

Several butterflies flutter and float along the breeze You lose sight of Enelne in the rabble. The swarm's wings leave dusky trails of sparkling golden light, and you are filled with a renewed sense of purpose and peace.

Kethrai: Hodierna
The air around you hums with a silent authority.

Time slows and the air takes on a golden light. Everything goes silent.

A matronly figure emerges, draped in the verdant hues of spring, her face tranquil and filled with a wealth of benevolence. Her flowing gowns shimmer like the first rays of morning, casting both warmth and comfort. By her side, a magnificent unicorn with soft eyes steps forward, its coat luminous with porcelain iridescence. There s a message in its gaze, a command yet unspoken, a truth it carries from the tenderness of motherhood.

As you reach out to touch the unicorn, a flurry of disparate images fight in the back of your mind for expression. Through the quick succession of flashes, you see Dirge.

Dried vines and brecciated rock incorporated into one side of the encasement make for a weakness.

The woman gazes at you softly and says, "The encasement will subside. You must tell them. Hurry, now Heart Tender. Embrace your path."

A soft luminescence intensifies for a moment, then gently fades, leaving behind a promise of healing and grace. She and the unicorn vanish, leaving behind a sense of profound peace and divine protection, as though the very essence of purity has embraced your soul.

Karthor: Kertigen
The air around you hums with a silent authority.

Time slows and the air takes on a golden light. Everything goes silent.

A figure emerges; His presence is marked by the scent of earth and metal, a testament to his dominion over craftsmanship and the treasures of the deep. Upon his forearm, a sleek raven perches with watchful eyes, its dark feathers gleaming like polished gemstones.

The raven cocks its head, one way and then another, as though conveying balance and fairness. There s a message in its gaze, a command yet unspoken, a truth it carries from the coffers of long-lost kingdoms.

As you reach out to touch the raven, a flurry of disparate images fight in the back of your mind for expression. Through the quick succession of flashes, you see Dirge.

Dried vines and brecciated rock incorporated into one side of the encasement make for a weakness.

The man says, "The time has come to forge a new path. Tell them. And hurry."

The figure s stern countenance softens, revealing a flicker of paternal concern. The sound of jingling coins echoes briefly, leaving behind a sense of trust and hope. He and the raven vanish.

Avrenka: Rutilor
The light around you flares with blinding authority.

Time slows and the air takes on a golden light. Everything goes silent.

Before you stands a figure of unwavering resolve, cloaked in the enduring spirit of justice and a stance brimming with the determination of one who never falters. He is accompanied by a fierce mongoose that sniffs about as if seeking the unseen. There s a message in its gaze, a command yet unspoken, a truth it carries from a nameless sword.

As you reach out to touch the mongoose, a flurry of disparate images fight in the back of your mind for expression. Through the quick succession of flashes, you see Dirge.

Dried vines and brecciated rock incorporated into one side of the encasement make for a weakness.

The man says, "The time for skepticism has ended. This wrong shall not go unanswered. Tell them. And hurry."

A warm aura intensifies for a moment, then recedes, leaving behind a steadfast resolve and an indomitable sense of security, as though the very essence of righteous judgment has fortified your spirit. He and the mongoose vanish.

Arriving at the Dirge Encasement

[Lava Fields, Edge of the Primal Encasement]
The air is choked with ash, but despite the suffocating wind and shattered basalt, a writhing mass of vines and flowing stone is visible, emerging from the once lifeless waste. Carving a neat circular crater and forming a massive teardrop around the space the city of Dirge once occupied, the vines trail ash and dust as they sweep across the land and flutter against the sky. The large structure stretches high, crowned by a beam of golden light. You also see a long-leafed vela'tohr bush surrounded by diminutive blue butterflies, a coppery saluki puppy flaunting a goldenglow glaes collar and jadeleaf snood and a playful-looking black and white kitten wearing a ruby red collar.

Investigating the Arthelun Ruins/Arthelun Cabalists Attack

Note: Log of this portion courtesy of Ezerak

[Arthelun Ruins, Edifice]
A pair of mostly-intact caryatids stand at the top of the steps, their hands extended in an emphatic gesture of warning. The roof above is in ill repair, but still intact, the black marble women bearing their burden with stalwart grace. The broad steps leading to the courtyard below are scattered with debris and jagged shards of black marble. You also see an arthelun cabalist.
Obvious exits: north, east, west.

A slow and steady drum beats, echoing throughout the ruins.

An arthelun cabalist's eyes smolder as tiny flames rupture from her skin.

The arthelun cabalist begins to advance on you!

You swagger east.
[Arthelun Ruins, Edifice]
Several shapeless black marble caryatids stand here, their faces and forms lost to time and erosion. The roof above remains intact, sheltering this spot from the weather and the fury of the volcano to the northwest. A questing finger of red-hot lava probes its way across the stairway that leads to the courtyard below.
Obvious exits: north, west, northwest.

You take note of all the tracks in the area, so that you can hunt anything nearby down.

To the north:

 1)   Riverlynn

To the west:

 2)   an arthelun cabalist

To the northwest:

 3)   Chelinde

You swagger west.
[Arthelun Ruins, Edifice]
The broken stumps of several black marble caryatids stand here, their blasted remains strewn down the broad steps that lead to the courtyard below. The roof has collapsed on this side of the building, leaving the ruin open to the weather and the fury of the volcano looming to the northwest.
Obvious paths: north, northeast, east.

The broad steps leading to the courtyard below are scattered with debris and jagged shards of black marble.
Obvious exits: north, east, west.

A voice booms throughout the ruins, "The MORTALS have defiled our home, AGAIN." The beating drum continues.

You swagger north.
[Arthelun Ruins, Edifice]
A stately fountain depicting a supine woman dominates the area, the figure laid out upon a massive plinth. The marble comprising the fountain is charred to a matte finish; its empty basin strangely free of debris. The roof is intact here, as though unwilling to crush the woman in her slumber. You also see an arthelun cabalist that is surrounded by a shimmering shield, a pocket-sized corgi puppy and an arthelun cabalist.
Also here: Raven Queen Chelinde who is surrounded by a purple cloud of glitter.
Obvious exits: north, northeast, southeast, south, southwest, northwest.

An arthelun cabalist's eyes smolder as tiny flames rupture from her skin.

The arthelun cabalist begins to advance on you!
The arthelun cabalist advances from nearby and is closing steadily.
The arthelun cabalist moves into a position to parry.

You swagger north.
[Arthelun Ruins, Edifice]
The back wall of this structure is a glory of color, covered from top to bottom by a lush, flame-hued mosaic. A massive gouge mars the floor where part of the ceiling has fallen in, but the roof seems to be in much better repair here than to the west.
Obvious exits: east, south, west.

You swagger west.
[Arthelun Ruins, Edifice]
The back wall of the building still stands, but the roof has collapsed, scattering the floor with large chunks of debris and jagged shards of black marble. A female face, exquisitely carved from black marble, gazes upward from the rubble. You also see a narrow crevice.
Obvious paths: east, southeast, south.

[Arthelun Ruins, Edifice]
A black marble statue looms in the corner of this space, its cloaked and hooded form poised as if to take a step forward. One outflung arm ends in a jagged stump, but its other arm -- brandishing an ornately carved staff -- is still whole. Though the roof has not collapsed here, the ever-present ash and debris still makes for treacherous footing.
Also here: Riverlynn. Obvious exits: south, southwest, west.

You wave to Riverlynn.

>climb step
[Arthelun Ruins, Courtyard]
Some rubble-choked steps dominate this area, the massive, black marble blocks that comprise them scattered about like a child's abandoned toys.

Also here: Firehawk Casari and Voodoo Priestess Hiidie who is shrouded in ghostly flames.
Obvious paths: east, south, west.

Firehawk Casari climbed up some rubble-choked steps.

You swagger south.
[Arthelun Ruins, Courtyard]
A massive black marble plinth dominates this area, largely intact, if empty. The bits of floor visible despite the ash and dust are deeply scarred and gouged, the mosaic here almost completely destroyed. You also see a lava drake.
Obvious paths: north, northeast, southeast, south, southwest, northwest.

You swagger south.
[Arthelun Ruins, Courtyard]
The ground here is blanketed in ankle-deep ash; the rocks and masonry hidden beneath making for treacherous footing. A plinth from a massive black marble column lies shattered in two pieces; the scattered remains of the pillar stretching southward like an out-flung arm. You also see a lava drake, a rocky trail and a lava drake.
Obvious paths: north, east, west.

The lava drake begins to advance on you!
The lava drake is still a distance away from you and is closing steadily.

>go trail
[Arthelun Flats, Old Imperial Road]
A crooked fissure blocks passage to the southwest, a fallen black marble column serving as a makeshift bridge. The road continues to the southeast, though it has been almost completely obliterated by drifting ash. A rocky trail leads northwards to the collapsed ruins of a stone building.
Obvious paths: southeast.

[General] Your mind hears Ruea thinking, "The good news is the Dirge bar survived. The bad news is Rileos is buying shots for all the drake-fighters and supporters."

A flow of magma bursts from the ground and coaelesces into a lava drake, accompanied by a rush of heat and a sulphuric reek.

A lava drake slinks in accompanied by a rush of heat.

High Priestess Maraisel just arrived.

• Moving in like a timid schoolboy, a lava drake lunges forward and swings at you. You block solidly with a small diamond-hide shield sealed with protective wax.

The lava drake closes to pole weapon range on you!

< Moving with dominating grace, you kick your steel-toed footwrap at a lava drake. A lava drake barely fails to block with its fiery claws. The footwrap lands a solid hit (4/23) to the drake's back.

The lava drake closes to melee range on you!

You act puzzled.

A lava drake stops moving abruptly, glowing more and more brightly. Becoming entirely molten, the drake leaps in a sinuous arc, then disappears beneath the ground, surfacing once more a few feet away. The creature gradually reforms, looking slightly healthier and bigger than before.

You say, "Sounds like trouble back in town."

The air around Casari stirs in response as snowflakes and hail form around her. The wind whips the wintery slurry into a spiral focused at a lava drake!
The lava drake's stony hide is knocked aside by the frozen slurry!

A lava drake jacknifes a few times, then grows still, its body rapidly cooling until it is little more than a smoldering pile of rocks.

Casari says, "I wonder if they heard."

Casari bends over the drake's corpse briefly.

[General] Your mind hears Buzan thinking, "so those clans same thing or what?"

[General] Your mind hears Mistanna thinking, "Maybe they're overflowing since we haven't been able to keep their numbers down with the encasement."

[General] Your mind hears Valynn thinking, "Thank you to all everyone else for helping to put the drakes down and free Dirge."

Casari adds you to her group.

[General] Your mind hears Ghust thinking, "Cabalist at lava field"

Casari says, "I'm going to Dirge, I suppose."

You say, "I suppose I should go help."

You nod to Casari.

Casari retreats from combat.

Firehawk Casari's group went down a rocky trail.

[Arthelun Flats, Old Imperial Road]
A crooked fissure blocks passage to the southwest, a fallen black marble column serving as a makeshift bridge. The road continues to the southeast, though it has been almost completely obliterated by drifting ash. A rocky trail leads northwards to the collapsed ruins of a stone building.
Also here: Firehawk Casari.
Obvious paths: southeast.

(travel)

Firehawk Casari's group climbed up a faint track.
[Lava Fields]
Acres of ruined farmlands stretch out on either side of the road here. Dead and buried, they lie under ragged sheets of once-molten rock now chill and barren. Flows of magma, once white hot and liquid, cover the road in places. A stinging grit rides the wind, the only crop now grown in this sere and lifeless waste. You also see an arthelun cabalist, an arthelun cabalist, an arthelun cabalist and a massive crater.
Also here: Firehawk Casari.
Obvious paths: southwest, west.

You follow Casari west.
[Lava Fields]
Rising shoulder high to a tall human, the magma forms rough walls that block the breezes. The air smells of flinty dust and your feet kick up small clouds with each pace. Someone has hacked a narrow path through the hard rock with great labor. To one side, a smooth white protrusion rises from the lava. It forms a sharp contrast to the drear and dark colors that abound in this deathscape.

Firehawk Casari's group wandered over to a faint roadway.
[North Roads Caravansary]
The road runs northwest past a cluster of stone buildings and stables to one side. A narrow path branches off to the east following a rough line of hills while another section continues southeast. You hear the lowing of sheep and the bleating of goats from nearby and an errant breeze brings the smell of something roasting over a fire. Elsewhere, you might wonder just what was being cooked that smells so strongly, but here and now you find you are both famished and in dire need of drink. You also see a freshly-painted roadsign pointing north.

(travel)

[Lava Fields, Narrow Trace]
Close by, a primitive pathway has been scratched out of the hard rock and basalt to the east, where it wanders into grey shadows of dust and floating ash. A narrow road lies between high boulders in the other direction. Faint marks etched into the coarse dark stone point towards the path and away from the caravan road.
Obvious paths: east.
Saragos followed.

[Arthelun Ruins, Edifice]
A stately fountain depicting a supine woman dominates the area, the figure laid out upon a massive plinth. The marble comprising the fountain is charred to a matte finish; its empty basin strangely free of debris. The roof is intact here, as though unwilling to crush the woman in her slumber. You also see an arthelun cabalist that is surrounded by a shimmering shield, an arthelun cabalist that is surrounded by a shimmering shield, an arthelun cabalist that is surrounded by a shimmering shield and a massive charred and tattered banner with jagged lettering.
Also here: Tempest Knight Saragos who has a fiery visage, High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames and Firehawk Casari.
Obvious exits: north, northeast, southeast, south, southwest, northwest.

With pathetic timing, an arthelun cabalist slices a longsword crafted from pure flame at Maraisel. Maraisel partially blocks with a lumium triangular sipar.

As if effort and skill were a bad thing, an arthelun cabalist sweeps low at Casari. Casari partially blocks with an agonite-edged triangular sipar with various faces swirling across its surface.

Maraisel points at a massive charred and tattered banner with jagged lettering.

Casari's globe of lightning lands a twitching strike to an arthelun cabalist's back!

Looking as if this were a bad idea, an arthelun cabalist feints high at Maraisel. Maraisel turns aside some of the longsword with a scimitar.

(look banner)
Different materials have been stitched together to form the banner, creating a patchwork of dark colors and materials. While the edges are severely singed and crumbling away, enough space remains in the center for a dire warning in dripping, white paint.

There seems to be something written on it.

>read banner

A massive charred and tattered banner with jagged lettering reads:
"You mortals have reached beyond your station, again.
You brought ruin and suffering, again.
Your atrocities here and beyond will not go unpunished, again."

The banner flutters in a breeze.

Casari just tried to pull a massive charred and tattered banner with jagged lettering.

Tempest Knight Saragos strides south.

Maraisel says, "I don't recall seeing that before."

With a sudden cross-body move, you draw your glaes pasabas and your throwing axe from your belt.

Casari seems to be trying to figure out how to turn a massive charred and tattered banner with jagged lettering.

< Driving in with exacting precision, you hurl a light haralun throwing axe at an arthelun cabalist. An arthelun cabalist fails to dodge, avoiding only some of the blow. The axe lands a solid hit (4/23) to the cabalist's right arm.

An arthelun cabalist's eyes flare one last time before snuffing out forever. The flames reluctantly withdraw from their host forming an ephemeral wisp that rapidly flees.
The shimmering ethereal shield fades from around a charred husk.

[General] Your mind hears Ghust thinking, "So we did ALL of that and we STILL are having mana issues?"

Casari shoves an arthelun cabalist with tremendous force, knocking him into a sprawling heap.

[General] Your mind hears Jecala thinking, "of course we are, that wasn't a solution to anything, just a liberation"

Casari voicelessly whispers to the air.
The air around Casari stirs in response as snowflakes and hail form around her. The wind whips the wintery slurry into a spiral focused at an arthelun cabalist!
An arthelun cabalist's ethereal shield crackles with energy!
The arthelun cabalist's blazing shield is knocked aside by the frozen slurry!
The slurry splatters about his right arm leaving the flesh reddened and blistered.

Maraisel asks, "Well, I think this is progress?"

You nod to Maraisel.

Maraisel asks you, "I know it doesn't get HER back, but... we have Dirge?"

Maraisel gazes off into the distance.

Casari asks, "So... these guys wrote this banner, right?"

You quietly say to Maraisel, "One step closer."

Maraisel gazes upward.

You see an arthelun cabalist.
The arthelun cabalist is in good shape.
She is wearing a shroud of flames.
She is carrying a longsword crafted from pure flame, a blazing shield.

An arthelun cabalist's eyes smolder as tiny flames rupture from his skin.

Literal flames dance in place of her eyes and curls of smoke seep from the Kaldar's fissured flesh. She moves with a sinuous grace and seems utterly at ease with the raging inferno that shrouds her.

< Driving in with an overwhelming assault, you hurl a light haralun throwing axe at an arthelun cabalist. An arthelun cabalist attempts to dodge, taking the full blow. The axe lands an extremely heavy hit (9/23) that rips a small chunk of flesh from the cabalist's left forearm.

Darkstone Inn

(Note: This occurred at the same time as the previous section)

[Darkstone Inn, Bar] The bar itself was once a grand sight. Being a solid slab of dark wood, polished and fitted with the traditonal brass rail, it was kept lovingly waxed and spotless. The wood is now blotched and smeared with countless unwiped spills and the rail has long since been pulled up and sold for scrap. Behind the bar, a few bottles and nondescript barrels and casks make up the liquid stock for sale here. You also see a dark hallway and the main barroom. Also here: Ruea, Shadow Tracker Sliyder, Astral Traveler Middler, Stellar Statistician Urbaj who is blurred by hazy afterimages, Bioexorcist Karthor, Isthu'rath'a Saar'adu Kzin who is surrounded by a shimmering shield, Strawberry Nurse Illiya, Mageling Aerilia who is surrounded by a shimmering shield, Antediluvian Erieck, Fire Witch Merilwen who is surrounded by seven circling blades of ice, Daerlynn, Stargazer Mistanna who is being harassed by an intrigue of phantasmal kittens, Enduring Mhikal, Black Dog Maintain who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Ezathiel, Mathematician Avrenka and Sir Madigan who is shining with a dark golden glow. Obvious exits: none.

[General] Your mind hears Bralinson thinking, "wolf clan is clear" Maintain puts his spear in his rucksack. Aerilia sighs. [General] Your mind hears Tathalus thinking, "are too Natty"

A slow and steady drum beats from within the Arthelun ruins.

Ruea wandered into the main barroom. Mhikal blushes, the tips of his ears turning a deep shade of red. Ezathiel pleasantly says, "My arms are spent. Might not even be able to lift the glass." Ezathiel chortles softly at some secret joke. Madigan says, "No bloody chairs again." [General] Your mind hears Trajan thinking, "No change in Knife Clan." [General] Your mind hears Madigan thinking, "Thanks Bralinson." Avrenka says, "What a day." Bookkeeper Parkons just arrived. Madigan says, "Disbanding this group in case folks want to come and go." Merilwen nods. Parkons works carefully at tending his wounded abdomen. Mhikal nods. Parkons works carefully at binding his wounded abdomen, attempting to halt the bruising and discoloration. Vaerek just arrived. Erieck rubs his head. Madigan sheathes his hurling axe. Urbaj puts his hammer in his war belt. Mageling Aerilia wandered into the main barroom.

Parkons says, "Any healers about? My guts are still... not good from that lion I took to the abs." Merilwen grins at Erieck. Rienth asks, "Are any of you hearing that drum?" Mistanna says to Erieck, "I haven't seen you in awhile." Erieck grins at Mistanna. Illiya lays her hand on Parkons's arm. Parkons looks healthier and Illiya appears to weaken. Vaerek dusts himself off. Madigan pats Parkons on the back. Parkons mumbles a word of general praise. Parkons praises Illiya. Erieck asks Mistanna, "Yes! Indeed...its been...years?" Kzin hisses, "Guessssss I don't need thisss anymore." Parkons looks healthier and Illiya appears to weaken. Ice Cold Natarian just arrived. Kzin drops a fiery marauder blade. Karthor nods to Rienth. Erieck winces.

The beating drum continues from the direction of the Arthelun ruins. You think you hear a voice, but it could just as easily be the wind.

Mistanna nods at Erieck, obviously agreeing with his views. Vaerek grins at Mistanna. Natarian gets some nacre-bone capped bagpipes with dual shadowbark chanters from inside his black haversack.
