Chronicles of the World of DaoTyr

The archlich

01. The guardians of the archlich attack the sworn singers

02. Yog Sothoth: We are disappointed with your progress Vecna

03: The FIrst: I’ve waited an eternity to fight you archlich

Vecna is a false reflection—spent and weak. Raeyltih takes her shadow blade, and Vecna is unable to stop the shattering of his lost power.

Under the Hurricane Tower, Mezdarien in the Domain of Dread, the long-held, last-ditch plan to combat the Vecnaverse against its final takeover of all existence: The Tavern at the End of the World. A Demiplane, crowded with emissaries who may need to reseed the world with life on a necroscape of the archlich’s design. Cast includes: Shargass, the orc deity of darkness; Mystra, the goddess of magic; Mahadi, the rakshas and his daughter; Misander, the archfey; Githus, the demonseed; Tim Tegean, the deathknight; the bartender, a warforged.

Chord’s true sight, inspired by the seven Stones of Being, detects a portal through the hearth fire to the rest of Vecna’s dread tower.

Camlagoth, That Which Speaks, roams the battlefield, feeding on the destroyed warriors in the war of Vecna versus Tiamat.

Draconians, agents of the Dragon Queen, left behind upon her abandonment of the war.

Harbingers of Doom, figments of Vecna’s horrible imagination made real in the void lands

The angelic host and the Planetar, Yggdrasiel, left to clean up the evil remnant.

Miska, child of Kas arrives to destroy the Sworn Singers and recover the Sword of Kas, the blade renamed by Korra as the Blade of the Red Hand

Miska and Kas take the battlefield. The lunar dragon, Orinix, and the Red Dragon, Dreks, are destroyed. Raey is nearly killed beneath the bulk of the demon spider but manages to escape death, finally killing Miska with her shadow blade.

Kas is destroyed in an epic sword battle with Korra. Chord heals the party. They advance to twentieth level and break the code to enter Vecna’s tower.

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.

The Werewolves and the Treant attack Korra and her son, Ilgraven. The Treant, Giavonan, and the Werewolves of Nuitari, and were friends, allies, even family to Teremini. Now, Teremini is poisoned by Soth with a horrible mix of love and abuse.

Once Soth is decapitated by Korra, Chord, as a giant ape, leaps from the tower to take the necklace from Teremini, the infant girl who was once stolen from Silverymoon, to fulfill her purpose of bringing Tiamat back to the world.

Tiamat returns

An unknown number of Exarchs march across different versions of UrUnon, preparing the world for the Unmaking of Vecna. Many souls exist in multiple planar contexts simultaneously. Reality fractions greatly as the threads of all fray, preparing the undead world to come. Riding a wave designed by the Dukes of Aaqa who foretold such an event five thousand years before, at the time of the Rending, when the death of the Dragongod Tiamat heralded a similar cataclysm, the Sworn Singers advance towards an unknown goal. It may be that the location of Vecna, the undying god, is finally revealed when the Bling Singer, the Kodesh Hiyot, the entity known as Chord, assembled the seven gems, and the Singers will have to battle, now armed as Korra is, with the infamous Sword of Kas, or it may be that the Wizards Three have something else in mind that has yet to be revealed, some last, desperate plan. Whatever the final revelation, the mortal consciousness of Korra and Reaylith, so advanced and so warped to cope with and to understand the massive upgrades of experiential arcane power with which they are so imbued, mirrors itself across the psychic landscapes of the world. Meanwhile, Chord is a triangulated anchor, resistant to the normal restraints of the mortal mind, and because of the artificial constitution of the warforged bard, total war has been yet averted. Whatever pieces of the world survive this cosmos-level event will be forever altered as it seems that what the heroes represent now is to save the threads of what was before and to seed the future world with memories of what once was.
