The “Red,” or The People’s Army of Gavin Wel. Commanders of the Raelfaen Campaign.

The “Green” forces aligned at the Raelfaen Campaign against The People’s Army of Gavin Wel.

Defying comprehension, the party confronts the Blind Queen, Eleyan, as she takes flight in her horrible machine. The City Oromyr itself turns in a immense airship powered by Cathoid and takes flight into the Void.

Avari and Tiki phase out of the world. Tiki had explained to Tim that from time to time she hides her friends in the Shadowfel from Demonic forces looking for them. Now it was Avari’s time as mysterious threats that are only known to the Tielfling hunt her friend.

Charging the Bridge of the flying City, the Party is assailed by many forces meaning to stop them including the Bulgara Demon which Tim destroys with many arows..

Walder finds the artificer Festil of Gildensong who was forced to design the engines for the Blind Queen’s Terrible toy.

Zarconus encounters the six-hearted sentinals by the Queen and her ghost like pilot.

Walder destroys the pilot with a blightbane weapon and is instructed by Festil how to engage the self-destruct mechanism of Omonyr. At the moment of truth, Walder is tempted by the Final Sting Faerie who tempts the rogue with the power of the ship. He refuses, choosing friendship of ultimate material gain.

As Eleyan is revealed to be coupled in mind and body with Oamrissa and transformed into a Blightlord. Tim pierces a star above the elk-headed spirit of Oamrissa, destroying the six hearted sentinals.

Tim’s mind is beshadowed by the Poison Elk Oamrissa who descends to stop Walder from destroying her ship. The theif attacks her and with deep cuts from his many blades, the blind queen is destroyed although the blight elk remains. Multiple blows reign down from the sturdy party. Walder is bloodied by lightning serpents.

The party is quickly snatched up by Giffon riders of Gavin Wel and are taken to the lands of Starry Gardens and are welcomed by a large host!

Her name is Grey Easy, as that is where she is from. A scout guard for the mysterious, walking tavern known as Bethsmunda, Grey East was conscripted at an early age for her present job. She had never seen another shifter until she was 19. A strange family is the crew of Bethsmunda, which presently haunts the deep wilds of the Gildensong countryside. The Deathless prophet of the Raven Queen known as BeneOha lives on the third floor of this place which is a endless series of portals to all parts shadow. BeneOha tracks ghosts through the misty vineyards in her walking mansion as she believes the prophesized dragon mark of death exists in the confederacy of vintners in the Western Sorado.

Ellia Shadowsworn is the Lady of Bethsmunda and is a Doomguard Captain. She is wanted for the killing of over a dozen Bladesong knights.

The City of Omonyr, while only recently founded, has ancient origins steeped in the modern political realities of the surface world. The Souless, or political head of the civic entity that is Omonyr, is a Shadarkai woman names Eleyan. Eleyan is the ancient and young sister to the Queen of old Khepathia, the Raven Queen. She is said to have studied civil rule with that, the most enigmatic of multiplanar roaylty, the Queen of Pain in Sigil, the nexus city at the hub of the Astral world.
During the fall of Khepathia, do we first hear the name Eleyan, in the Lae of Durag, a ballad of orcish song, infact the first dirge from where the druidic barding traditions of the Order of the Nine Stars comes from.
Eleyan would have no man
to hold in her gaze
in lonely heart with fist
does the silver queen spend her days-
Tigers and drum remind her
of name and place
in cold shadow with Zce
with no sun and only pale face.

“Omonyr, yeah, I’ve been there.” Says Dezr standing on the precipice overlooking the city on the void. “It just hangs there, like a bat or a drip of water, on the edge of the infinite hallow. Most surface folk don’t know the world is mostly hollow. Not only that but there is a vast underground network of political powers that web this underplace together and feed dark markets across the globe. In reality, Omonyr is probably only one of many such pirate coves. This one just happens to be here. Under Gavin Wel, the seat of the origin of the largest mine of Zce, or Cathoid, or whatever you call it, in the history of the world.”
“Yeah, you humans, man, you guys like to get high so much that you will go to war over it. again and again. drugs…coffee, alcohol, weed, opium, cathoid, you cling to these evils. It taints you and now it taints the land. This is where it is coming from. Erythia, the artificial mountain next to the City was closed to mining the silver substance fifteen hundred years ago and it is not here any longer, or at least, that is what they tell you. The new mine is the kingdom of Beris far away. There is a war on the surface between here and there. How do you get the stuff here? underground. Through Omonyr.”
“Looks like it has come into its own too, moneywise. Those three airship docks that extend out from the face of the cliff are new. That means more traffic. Look at all those boats! some are blighted too. Means they’re from Beris.”
“Better watch yourself down there. Put on a damn cloak Zarconus. Cover that holy armor. This is dark people doing dark things. Plenty of secrets and plenty of money, means plenty of violence.”
