The party continued north, following the tracks of the missing Knight and his mysterious boy.
As the travelled, they talked about the history of the region.
Revana reached out to Terra for guidance, but still got no reply.
Sanglant decided to enter the Faerealm to see if there was anything suspicious around the area.
He saw that the Burrowrange, the mountain in front of him, had turned into a dormant volcano.
-
Dust Devil explained that
the Fire Spirit was killed a thousand years ago and that there was no more fire in the Faerealm.
All the smaller fire spirits turned into ash.
Sang asked if Dust Devil had ever heard of Talena, the Goddess, and he hadn't.
Sang returned to the physical world, and the party began travelling again.
After a few more hours of travelling, they eventually arrived at Burnburrow.
Sang investigated around the area, finding several cave entrances.
Rev turned into a weasel and entered the cave mouth that they were closest to.
She saw several gnolls, a race of bipedal hyena creatures.
She tried to get another, closer look, but was mistaken for food and attacked by one of the gnolls.
Ekhart and Sanglant ran to her aid, as Rev turned into a Dire Wolf.
As they fought, a mysterious priest was noticed by Ekhart who quickly restrained him.
Rev managed to save the young boy held captive by the gnolls, but it was too late to save the Knight.
After all the gnolls were killed, they began questioning the priest.
Rev noticed a magic crown around the gnoll leader's head, which she manager to tear off of his head.
The priest explained that there was a plot to kidnap the Boy Emperor and have his older brother
Daedrin retake the throne so that
the Church can take control of the Empire.
The party agreed that the priest was too dangerous to keep alive, so Rev took her hunting knife and slit his throat.
Sang thought that the
Crown of Control was too dangerous to keep, so decided to take it to the Faerealm where he would dispose of it.
Ekhart asked if it was possible for Sang to take someone with him to the Faerealm.
Sang didn't know, so they tried to go together.
After a bit of a bumpy ride for Ekhart, the two of them eventually arrived in the Faerealm.
Inside Burnburrow appeared to be a temple for a dead fae.
In the physical world, Rev talked with
the boy.
His named was Albert.
He said that he was an orphan, hired by the knight named
Sir Osmond Lerenn to pose as the Emperor.
