The BarnYard commandeers the wagon, and parades it around town as the "Slaughterdome", charging people for a look inside at the horrors. As this goes on, several people come out the other side...not the same. Apparently the horrors of this evil object cause some commonfolk to lose their minds. The group decides to send the wagon to the Church of the Sun God to be cleansed.
The next morning, the sky is overcast, and the people in the town seem somber and down-trodden. This is very similar to the attitude of the people trapped in Chasemire. Could another time loop spell be taking over the town? Who is casting it?
In our research, we learn that the archdruid, Lorelaie, was killed as part of the time loop spell, and that James was the one in purple, and her husband.
We arrive at the Church of the Sun God and speak to Milo, the Senior Priest. He is having some difficulty with cleansing the wagon and requires assistance from... he falters in his words as he can't remember the name of one of the other churches in town. Finally, he remembers Tyr, the Luck Goddess.
We ask him about the primordial church, and he tells us it was destroyed eons ago. They tried to take control of the land, air, and sea. They stole the souls of mortals to overthrow mankind and take over. This was all back when "gods walked the earth".
Sand attempts to identify the outside of the wagon, but rather than information, comes back with gibberish, like static. Identifying the inside of the wagon, he feels a sharp pain in his mind, similar to a countercharm, feels arcane magic that is "off the charts", and falls unconscious.
We then head to the Royal Library. We learn it is a separate entity to the Royal Family, but was appointed by them. It is shaped like a cathedral, but filled with books. Its colors are gold and red. Coming to the library, a quickling, a tiny fey creature used as a messenger, tells us we need permission from the crown to be in the library.
Heading to the Lord and Lady's Manor, has a large courtyard, and the manor is many stories high. The color of the manor's tabards is purple. We are escorted by a team of 12 guards that are unusually rigid and silent. Coming to the throne room, it appears to be empty, and the guards fall still and silent. Inspecting them, they are simply statues. After about 20 minutes, the Lady laughs, and they appear from invisibility. The lady appears to be fey, rather than human. After speaking with them, we are allowed 4 days' access to the library. The letter is signed "By blood, and by honor". We only have access to the 1st floor of the library.
