Episode 104: The Cradle’s Convocation

Bell’s Hells, after trekking to the ruins of Aeor, had an encounter with Ludinus Da’leth himself (during which he showed visions of the fall of Aeor in hopes of expressing the dubiousness of the great deities that are considered the prime beings of law and morality in this world).
After trying to convince you to join him and the Vanguard in their interests, you combated his outlook and also each others’ (with some internal strife in communication), after which Laudna’s own dark passenger was triggered. Thus battle ensued with a Delilah-possessed Laudna. You defeated her and (while she was reduced within) used the soul anchor (that you had taken from the ruins) and successfully completed a ritual with Essek’s help that bound Delilah into the stone which was then bound within you (Laudna), reversing the power dynamic between you and Delilah.
After you went to go meet up with the Voice of the Tempest and the rest of the troop that was waiting on the western encampment within the Hellcatch Valley. You arrived to find it in ruin, still smoldering. The fallen stone being picked through by Reilorans and Vanguard soldiers alike. With rapid reaction, teleporting to Vasselheim. There you were able to maneuver through the city, climb the stairs that lead to the Platinum Sanctuary (where it seems a lot of dignitaries from around Exandria are gathering, along with their compatriot armies and protectors).
Upon arrival, Essek had to say his goodbyes, for there was tenuous relations with some other figures that were present. Upon arriving here on the outskirts of this crowd that had gathered in the central forum of the Platinum Sanctuary, you were trying to push through to get a good view.
You saw people from all over Exandria here. You saw within Vasselheim itself:

• The Highbearer Vord
• The Earthbreaker Groon
• The Holy Curator
• The High Hierophant
• The Coven of the Veil of the Matron of Ravens
• J’mon Sa Ord, the leader of Ank’Harel
• Keyleth, Voice of the Tempest
• Empress Leylas Kryn of the Kryn Dynasty of Xhorhas; The Bright Queen
• Gavis Aranda from the Chandei Quorum of Jrusar
• Guardian Tofor Brotoras from the Council of Taldorei
• Mythmaker Qi Mendozi
• Allura Vysoren and Lady Kima of Vord and a number of others

As you tried to push your way through, a massive goliath figure (with over-sized stone gauntlets, a bit of a paunch, and a black fuzzy beard with streaks of gray) made your announcement loudly, causing the group in front of you to divide slightly, and the entire chamber to shift its attention back to you in one moment. Here in that tense, awkward silence, all eyes are on you.
