Returning to Sanctum. Sigil is gone in twilight. The Wizards Three are also gone. The windows are broken, bottles of wine are broken and spilled. Count Strahd Von Zarvich informs the Sworn Singers that Vecna’s tower, the Mezdarien, the so-called Hurricane Tower, is… inside the Domain of Dread in a village called Kartani.

Alustriel is an ancient daughter of the goddess of magic. Long ago, she worked with the Wind Dukes of Aaqa, anticipating the need for Tiamat to return nearly five thousand years after she was lost to the Rending.
Tasha is an archery chronomancer and, ultimately, disagrees with Alustriel’s terrible plan. Both are betrayed by Kas, who disguises himself as the archmage Mordenkainen.

“I know what you did,” Tasha says to Alustriel. Later, it is clear that what she meant was regarding an ancient conspiracy that Alustriel contrived with the mysterious, celestial power known as the Wind Dukes of Aaqa, to usher Tiamat back to existence following her demise, an event called THE RENDING. Raey, Chord, and Korra understand that her (Alustriel’s) plan is to pit one enemy (Tiamat) against another (Vecna). At the Temple of Blue Fire, Chord knows where it is and where they are. The Werewolves of Nuitari, the Dark Moon.
Teremini lashes at Soth and at Orinix, realizing Raey for who she is. Soth, on top of Dreks tosses black roses to Teremini before engaging the embattled Korra and her son, Ilgraven. Raey here is Raey Ravenhair, a veteran of the Venetian Wars. Soth, Lord of Death lost his head by the Sword of Kas in the hands of Korra.
Just as the Five Stone Ritual is complete and Tiamat bursts forth from the cracked and bleeding earth, vaulting to the moons, to take Vecna, to reclaim her throne.
Dreks was the dragon egg stolen by Soth in the past para-reality, promised to Korra. Because of it, Korra knew Dreks’ true name after Soth’s death, Korra dominates the dragon.
Chord realizes that the seventh stone is the broach around Teremini’s neck. As an enormous polymorphic ape, Chord grabs it, and the Sworn Singers, along with the two dragons, return to Sanctum.
Orinix, the lunar dragon, joins the Sworn Singers of her own volition and agrees to be ridden by Raey Ravenhair. Orinix will have no part in inadvertently releasing Tiamat but is unable to stop the ritual.
