Fall of Everstorm

Military action

The party confront Zenith Giannis-Canthor and Creed Ulvensson, the two surviving leaders of the Everstorm Covenant in Gildenschloss, as they attempt to recover the book entitled "On the Line of the Nine Daughters" from a long-abandoned basement archive beneath the Gilded Tower. Creed is killed in the ensuing fight, and Zenith, gravely injured, sunders his staff in an attempt to unleash the wrath of Qi'eka'a upon the party, whose souls are suddenly drawn into the Elemental Apex of Air in the presence of Qi'eka'a.   When Zenith appeals for Qi'eka'a to intervene, and refuses to accept the consequences of his own shortcomings, Qi'eka'a strikes him down and transforms him into an air elemental. Qi'eka'a permits the party to converse with him, expressing disappointment in the Everstorm Covenant, and general indifference to their ideological goals, before releasing them to return to their bodies on the material plane.
