08 Harpa (Women's Month / Spring)

Krag's Camp

• You tried examining the corruption and discovered that you couldn't conclude much, but you could trace it back to its origin, so you started doing that.

Corrupted Forest

• Traveling through the forest you saw another echo / vision, this one even clearer, still a battle, this time you saw dragons, clearly earth and shadow. Shadow was still winning.

• Continuing your travels you came to a large, blasted area with a large, blasted... tree(?)... in its center. It seemed to recognize you.

• Approaching further, you saw the most vivid echo / vision yet: The dragons doing battle overhead, minions fighting all around them. The tree (which you came to know as Heartwood) and forest creatures fighting on the side of Shadow (or the other way around), protecting a monolith. Suddenly, the forces of Shadow withdrew and the earth dragon severely injured Heartwood and took the monolith.

• As the vision cleared, you had a conversation with Heartwood and learned:

  • It was the guardian of the monolith; it failed, obviously.

  • It knows it's corrupted and the corruption emanates from it.

  • It felt that it could not die and it does not know how to heal itself.

  • This has been happening, and it has been in pain, for years.

  • It does not know why Shadow withdrew.

• After some discussion you used Krag's ritual on it, killing it.

• You stuck around long enough to verify that the corruption did seem to be receding - slowly.

Sanctuary Grove

• Returning to the sanctuary, you had a conversation with The Warmth of Shade in Summer and told it what happened.

• It elected to stay here for now, saying it would not brave the corruption.

09-11 Harpa

Tower Library & Vicinity

• You researched Krag's ritual to determine how to use it without killing its subject and were successful.

Sanctuary Grove

• You used the ritual on The Warmth of Shade in Summer and healed it.

• It was still sort of draining, so it chose to continue to remain behind, but said it would catch up with the elves when it can.

Tower Library Vicinity

• You cured the child.

• The elves decided to re-settle outside of the corrupted zone.

12-16 Harpa

Tower Library / Shadow Monastery

• Bunch of downtime activities.

• At the Shadow Monastery, you briefed Keikra and Navras about the corruption and taught them the ritual.

• You decided to head into Fire Giant territory to see if you can find Bron, Gin's mentor.
