Episode 108: Looming

Bell’s Hells (after being granted one of the highest responsibilities in the days to come) had intercepted via your (Imogen) mother psychically telling you of a meeting between (a Simulacrum of) Ludinus Da’leth, the Sorrowlord Zathuda, and the Unseelie Court in the Fey Realm to shore up and discuss the coming conflicts.
You then traveled to the Fey Realm to intercept this communication. You slowly destroyed all the guardians on the outside of the abandoned Arch Heart temple where they were having this meeting, and then stepped in to talk, and then ambushed them. A massive conflict ensued in which the structrure of the temple was heavily fractured, and then eventually set to collapse. With the Sorrowlord brought to near death, the emissary left onconscious as well, Ludinus’ simulacrum destroyed, and Gloamglut, the fey dragon, escaped through the temple roof as it collapsed. You all rushed to the exterior, with only most of you making it out. However, Imogen and Braius, who were left in the rubble, found themselves protected by some unseen force, and the crumbled temple reassembled itself and called you all into its sanctum. There, the (now restored statue of the) Arch Heart spoke to you as you were plucked from your current awareness and brought to the Arch Heart’s realm into communion with one of the gods of Exandria, the one that you saw in your vision of the fall of Aeor.
Here, you conversed. Here you were asking questions of each other, debating, and then eventually given a surprising message of intent from the Arch Heart. That the god (of beauty, art, arcana, and the fey) seems to believe that the time of the gods is done and wishes you all to be the harbingers of Predathos’ release, to chase the Pantheon away and begin a new age where mortals reign over their future.
As that vision came to a close, you all found yourselves set back into the sanctum of this Shrine of Gilded Gifts.
As you still process the moments that have just transpired, you glance around at this quiet space, at each other, and the two unconscious prisoners that you keep here.
