Session 38: Ezu, the Life Elemental

Ekhart, Sanglant, Revana, Remy and Faen entered the Inner Sanctum of the Reliquary.
- Inside, they found several large, obsidian crystals resting on pedestals.
- Each of the pedestals has a different name written on it, with different names of demons on them.
- On one they found “The Guardian Rudal,” which Faen takes.
- On another, they found “Ezu, the Deceiver,” which the party takes as well.
- Ekhart noticed that while all the spirits inside the obsidian crystals appeared really strong, the Ezu one seemed really weak comparatively.
- Using Sang's Wind Walk, they escaped the reliquary the way they entered.
While discussing the spirits and the faerealm, Faen mentioned that forest spirits come from the Dark Forest.
- Faen also told them that Rangers are taught the way through the Loridael to the Dark Forest.
- After some talking, the party realized that their “Faerealm” is the same as the elves' “Dark Forest.”
The party asked Faen to take them to the Dark Forest, to see it themselves.

After a several hours' long walk through the forest, the party eventually found themselves in the Faerealm.
The Faerealm at the Loridael, however, looked very sick compared to the rest of the Faerealm.
- There were large, pod like plants growing everywhere, and bramble and thorny vines growing in every direction.
- The party investigated one such pod which appears dead.
- When they looked inside, they found the grove of the creature they had encountered before.
The party eventually decided to release the spirit known as “Ezu” from its obsidian crystal prison.
They met the real Ezu.
- Ezu explained to the party that she had been accidentally kidnapped by a Ranger many years ago.
- She mentioned that something about the Faerealm was wrong, as she was the only Life spirit left.
Apparently, if Ezu died there would be no more Life spirits on Terrenia, so she would have to bind her spirit to one of the party members.
- Sanglant offered his spirit, and Ezu bound herself to him. She also made him her champion.
The party decided that they would take the Guardian Rudal back to Arduin Rudal, confront Balagol, and restore the First Guardian of Loridael.

The party left the Enclave, leaving Elden to deal with the other Dreamers.
- They left him a few pages of the Twinned Book so that they could communicate with him.

The party arrived in Arduin Rudal.
Revana and Faen confronted Balagol about the Guardian Rudal being a fake.
- Balagol appeared to have no idea of the deception, and the three of them returned Guardian Rudal to his proper place.
The party then decided to leave for Hallowfel, where they believed the Elemental of Light to be.
- Using Sanglant's Wind Walk ability, they left for Hallowfel.

After three days of travel, they arrived a few hours outside of Hallowfel.
- During their travels, they had noticed the entire area surrounded by a giant ball of light in the Faerealm.
The party entered the Faerealm to investigate, and were greeting by an extremely hot and bright ball of light.
They attempts to cross the barrier, and when they did they all appeared to be back in the physical plane.
- Sang, not thinking they were really in the physical plane attempted to bring every back.
- When he did, they traveled between worlds but it looked exactly the same.
After a bit of sleuthing, the party noticed that some of them were in the Faerealm and some of them were in the physical realm.
- There appeared to be doppelgangers in their place where the real ones were gone!
