  • Da'ath reveals that he named the broom DRAZVIER (Dragonfire in GITH)
  • Group realizes Vampires cannot get into Chalinos due to Protection Stones
  • They head inside to Hallowed Inn for dinner and a long rest
  • Along the way they are contacted by Narinn through multiple SENDING SPELLS, relaying info he found after their last request
According to legend, when the first path to Terus was inadvertantly created by the people's of Eberron during the Day of Mourning, the pantheon of Gods chose 8 mortals of Eberron and elevated them to demigod status, tasking them with a terrible burden to make up for their people's grievous error. They were to spend eternity guarding the lands of Terus and ensuring the great old one would never rise from his watery prison where he was trapped eons ago after the Mythic War of Madness. The sacrifice of these former mortals assured that the gods would not smite the lands of Eberron for their hubris.
  • Another passage states:
The saving grace came in the fact that no god could ever set foot on Eberron, same as Terus, and as long as the rift to Eberron was the only bridge to Terus, Terus would remain a world that the gods could not step foot upon. However, that initial tear in the fabric of reality may have weakened the barriers between Terus and the other realities of the multiverse. Should more portals, or gates be forced open by powerful beings upon Terus, its protection from the darker gods of the pantheon who may have designs to free the unnameable terror would be removed, and their influence could spread across the lands. Which would actually fall in with some of the known parts of the Draconic Prophecy.
  • They discuss this new information over dinner, then head to bed

  • (THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME)
  • At first Judai'aruk wishes for Cthulu to be awoken and freed, but not even Keth has that power. Next, he wishes for all the recombined ORRERY of the WANDERER, which she reluctantly grants him, massively weakening herself in order to save LUKAS's life.
