The archlich

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.

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.
