Episode 109: A Test of Fate
After heading back into the Fey Realm to thwart a meeting between Ludinus Da’leth, the Sorrowlord Zathuda, and the Unseelie Court (which had been strangely absent in the goings on of the Ruby Vanguard), you managed to (one-by-one) take out their guard, assault the entire Unseelie crew, and brought down the entire abandoned temple of the Arch Heart.
Afterwards you were beckoned to a meeting with the Arch Heart (brought into their realm) where they expressed an interest in your path and a unique perspective on the current events happening in Exandria. After sharing this with you, they also implored you to speak to what you seem to imagine as the Matron of Ravens of a similar swapping of thoughts.
You then took your captives, or tried to, as they rapidly attempted to escape. Dragged them back, mostly alive, other than the Sorrowlord (who was slain in his attempt to get out of your grasp) and rode back with the aid of Gloamglut (which was mourning the loss of its master), Nanna Morri in her transformed state, and your (Dorian) summoned mount. There, the Sorrowlord Zathuda (Fearne’s biological father, and with her permission) whose corpse was taken to The Loom underneath Ligament Manor, where it was turned into furniture. Furniture that keeps his essence within it (which allowed you to have an extended conversation with his stretched fleshy face against a hexagonal frame, gaining maybe some dark closure or at the very least gathering some more information about some of the ‘behind the scenes’ of the Vanguard, and a hint to move more quickly than the window of time previously alotted.
You went to rest for the evening. Fearne and Ashton clambered to the rooftop garden of the Manor released Gloamglut from his bindings, and convinced the dragon to allow you to curl up with it for the evening. The three of you fell asleep and a night of rest after a very long and arduous day. With that the morning eventually greets all of you. The absence of Fearne and Ashton within the guest chambers marks your attention, but expecting an evening with the dragon was discussed. Meanwhile, Fearne, you and Ashton both awaken to the sound of the deep breathy slumber of Gloamglut. A chest expanding beneath you, like a massive scaled Totoro.
