Baphomet lead the Talisman to his secret stage. The very face of lord Ashentaign, sleeping forever in the Ocean of Wine, Relspinoth, poisoned wine that reduces the minds of mortals to mere wind should it even be touched. Baphomet needed the blessing of mortal blood to consecrate the Ebon Boon throughout the world. Employing a Dark elven Necromancer, Venieraye, who had previously written the kidnapping of Maralynn’s population of winged horses, and a Volcanic Dragon named Iagnus, Baphomet lead the Talisman to his sleeping father and there did make mortal combat.
The ritual of the Ebon Boon which occured in the Fey Dark on the Hunter’s Moon was orchestrated by Baphomet to his own demise. The Ebon Boon, an activation of the Ebon Stone as a singular weapon, wielded by the Dark Archfey, specifically the Horned King, against Ethilstyr to a number of ends. 1.) Five of the nine ancient Cities of the Dead were activated under the military leadership of Raelfaen Revenants who operate from these ill fated places. These twisted undead lords wish Khepathia to be raised from the wilderness of where it once reigned 2.) The twelve Ebon Stone Golems were animated and now march to the will of Lesivith. All of the Ebon Stone figurines that are littered over the country side and in the cities and galeries of men, now form a network of black envenerating energy that feeds the evil that fuels the coordinated effort. 3.) What it all amounts to is a full scale assault and invasion of Ethilistyr by a foreign, necrotic power.
