Chronicles of the World of DaoTyr

“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.

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.

The Demonweb Pit of Dolgotha Doom; The ancient Drow matron, appears on this plane as a young dark elf child. Mirroring the deathless move of the lord Vecna, Dolgotha manipulates the Vecnaverse so that she might live forever, reincarnated in spacetime as a youthful, albeit venerable archmage.

The sixth piece of the rod of seven parts, was fed to Ker-Arach. After the Sword of Kas lept from Dolgotha’s hand and was recovered by Korra, the Dragonspider, who attempted to ambush the Sworn Singers from above, folded before their might, and the gem was recovered.

Encounter one. Session two. Eve of Ruin. The Elven Fort. Sixty feet off the ground, in the leafy canopy of the binwyr trees of the Southern Moonwood, north of Zymorven Hall, four days walk north of Silverymoon. There are seven tree forts, each named for Corollon Larethian’s seven children, the seven sisters of Mystra. The greatest fort is named Quile for Quile Veladorn, who is the mother of the infant Teremini who was lost on the night of seven moons, fifteen years before the advance of the Vecnan army. Teremini was stolen by the assassin twins of the Kelem Jabar, the Wardwalkers, Kuema and Giatha of House Baenre of the drow, the night that Mikai Silverwind was wounded by the Yochlol Yelith through dominating and besetting Raeylith in a mortal kin wounding. After Lord Soth ambushed Korra Red Cloak and stole the dragon egg Drekarvynix, she conciliated the Clan of the Thousand Arrows in time to defend against Vecna’s Unmaking. Driven from the Beastlands to the east, Aunaroch, by the hordes of Vecna’s Exarchs, one horrid creature, the abomination Alcathion. The Clan of orcs, the Clata, is ten thousand orcs; the population of Silverymoon in 1496, one year after the Witchlight War and one year before the migration of the Clata, is thirty thousand elves. Raeylith, now the Unbeset, treats with Korra the Wise words to negotiate a new age of cooperation between the ancient enemies. The advance of the Exarchs of the Deathfold front seems to be something no living system can repel. The military guard of the Clata, the Duskfell, and the Orobein defend the forts of the Seven Sisters. General Raey and Korra Bloodblade with the novel mechanations of the entity called Chord, destroy Alcathion at Quile, stemming the tide unstoppable demonstrated by the Deathfold Front, the Aermosinin.

Bael does not attack as grenade tears fall, destroying the ancient tome, Bael’s sorrowful tomb. As it crumbles, the Sworn Singers attempt to solve an ancient puzzle of Acererak to gain access to the first five organ-stones of the Rod of Seven Parts.

Immediately following VISIONS OF RUIN, the adventurers are brought to the Sanctum in Sigil, where Alustriel reveals that she has been working with the Wind Duke of Aaqa, the Eye of Seraphim, to find them and bring them together in the dying light of hope. She goes on to explain that the witch queen Tasha and the archmage Mordenkainen have been working with her to mitigate the unmaking ritual of Vecna, a ritual whose purpose is to destroy the multiverse and reform it in the Lord of Secrets vision. The three take an oath and become The Sworn Singers. Tasha calls Chord “a perfect being.” Mordenkainen is awkward and terribly uncomfortable with the meeting. He says to Korra “we all know something about betrayal, don’t we?”

Battle 1: Avernus. CHORD. As Chord and Mahadi prepare for the night’s performance, they are confronted in the open beside the storage crates of the Traveling Souk. The arch-lich Acererak leads a confederation of devils and fel-magicians and claims to be on an errand from lord Vecna to collect the body of the Bardlock Warforged, Chord.

Battle 2: Haredor. KORRA. In the Beastlands, the red cloak commanders are interrupted in a sacred ritual to collect a red dragon egg by Lord Soth and his dark company. The Black Rose Bearers and the Necromantic Wizard, Iklar, wish to take the egg that has been left by ancient pact with the wyrm called Drekarvynix.

Battle 3: Silverymoon. REY. High in the boughs of the naming tree, two spellguard defend the demi-god niece of Queen Alustrial, Teremini, against the ward walkers, agents of Lolth called the Kelem Jabar who infiltrate the arcane city with dark magics and with help of their host, the shadowsworn Eigeroth, who Rey had killed once before, the one-time wielder of the Sword of Kas, prior to when Rey was cursed with it.

Was there ever any hope? Vecna arrives at Haredor and takes the dragon egg as Korra nears death after long combat. Vecna arrives at Silverymoon and take the child as Rey nears death after a tortuous battle. Vecna arrives on Avernus and attempts to take Chord’s body but is foiled by the coming of the Eye of the Seraphim, the air duke of Aaqa. The Eye comes for Korra in Haredor, and the Eye comes for Rey and whisks them away in a flurry of feathered wings.
