Summary
- While the rest of the party were on their way to the Stolen Fen, Mort was on a quest on her own, to find Jalsar and bring back the artifact that was stolen from her.
- Mort encountered a small camp of Fanewraith's Rebels, was captured by them, and then released after the friendly giant leader of the group, Zillian, felt sorry she was alone in the forest.
- Mort stayed with the rebels, who took her with them to investigate the arcane pulse they felt coming from the direction of the Stolen Fen, where they sent a unit to battle Haven Army soldiers infiltrating the forest.
- The rebels and Mort crossed the threshold to the Stolen Fen, and met Xuan, Codex, Aveena, Lorcan and Sum'ara, with the faint divinities Lesh and Carrion at their side, while The Stride are having a party.
- Zillian and Xuan had a conversation, with Xuan noticing the giant had faint tattoos with giant phrases that basically say “even in the coldest mountain tops, warmth can be found with family”.
- Xuan asked about Zillian connection to Akrahim, Zillian scanned Xuan and noticed his shield, which threw him back to a time better left forgotten, but after Xuan explained he wants to find the remnants of Akrahim and give them back their artifact, Zillian shared that he heard a rumor about giants near a mountainrange called The Stones of Cassema, north-west of here, near Mukhad.
- Zillian asked Xuan about the whereabouts of his rebel comrades, and was pointed to look around the fen for bodies.
- Lesh and Carrion voiced their concern due to Aveena’s source of power, Carrion shared that he and other divinities trapped what they called The Nothingness, but maybe it found an opening.
- Lesh gave her goodbye to everyone, scratching Lorcan bear-ear, called him a “little morpho”.
- The party stayed at The Stride for the night, and the walking city carried them as nearest as possible.
- Lorcan seemed off, and didn’t remember some of the events Xuan mentioned, but something threw him back, to the time he touched a sarcophagus and was forever changed, then to Lesh bidding goodbye, and then somewhere else, he and the party sitting near a campfire, and night, with Lorcan looking back at himself from the vision.
- The party entered Noctamoor, with Aveena feeling at home and cozy in this depressing dark and cursed wasteland.
- Climbing the mountain and scaring away the local dark monsters chasing them, the party finally reached Lumina, the city of light.
- Entering the marble city, the party was met with the Festival of Light, and after Lorcan, as a horse, traumatized the locals, the crowd was preparing for a speech by Apidae, the Hum of Forenoon.
- Apidae spoke about the light in Lumina and its people, how light is important and is all of us, but so is darkness. She spoke about dark forces - but not made of monsters, but people - threatening the safety of Lumina.
- Mort tried to follow the deathly energy to find Jalsar, she tracked him, disguised, in the crowd, and after a short struggle, Jalsar agreed to Xuan and Mort that he’ll explain everything, and showed them the way to a nearby house serving as a rebel cell in the city.
- Sum'ara and Aveena followed, and Sum'ara saw her brother Jalsar for the first time in a long time.
- Jalsar explained that he had to get away, for the cause, he had to grab the artifact.
- Mort tried to commune, and saw the artifact in a vision, first, on a barren ground, then getting dug out by miners, used by soldiers in a battlefield, in rituals, in ceremonies, then brought to a graveyard by a young witch, and then stolen by Jalsar, who brought it to the Fanewraith.
- The Fanewraith told Jalsar to keep it close until she says otherwise.
