==Recap==
===14th November 1500: I'Yaara Oryn===
The party fly from the Red Desert east to the Elven Forest of I'Yaara Oryn upon the back of the brass dragon Thraxaldor. I'Yaara Oryn is said to be the elven homeland where elves were first brought to The World. One upon a time the forest was four times larger but much was destroyed during the first ogre war. Abigaël & Bregor bond over their joined feelings of going to such a significant elven place.
Thraxaldor lands south of the road that runs through the forest in a city under the canopy. There are buildings make from shaped trees as well as marble buildings carved to look like woven tree trunks. Around the party is panic at the arrival of a dragon in the city.
The party then notice the nearby wooden throne where the Elven King, Loth'Logar, sits. The king's honorguard is on edge, but relax as the king recognises Thraxaldor. The elven king speaks in elvish while Vincent, Lisa and Azril don't understand. Thraxaldor explains the party can help with the coming war so the elven king speaks common. Vincent Longborn introduces the party to the king, explaining himself to be a Prince of the Longborn Kingdom.
Loth'Logar is already aware of the Bannerless Army & the Chromatic Dragons, and he has started to gather elven forces to defend I'Yaara Oryn. Loth'Logar however was unaware of Oris's plans to become the vessel for Voraci.
Thraxaldor the dragon departs. The party are seated at a long table and given refreshments as the king speaks with his council. Bregor explains King Loth'Logar's attitude comes from the lack of aid from elves and dwarves during The Last Dragon War which resulted in massive elven casualties and the reduction of I'Yaara Oryn to 1/4 of its former size. Azril explains to his ancestors the Dragon War was a surface problem which is why the dwarves decided to just hide under their mountains during the conflict.
===Lisa Feng===
Lisa is agitated by the situation and Vincent tries to comfort her. Lisa gets up and asks for an audience with the elven king. Lisa explains her father was Lord Feng who Vincent murdered in Rollplay Legacy: Episode 04, and Lisa wants justice. Vincent and Lisa give their own sides of the story of Lord Feng's death. Vincent and Lisa are both willing to duel to the death, however trial by combat is considered barbaric in elven culture so Loth'Logar doesn't accept the idea that such a combat would result in a fair verdict. The elven king calls forth a cleric to cast to find the truth of the matter. 
In the zone of truth, Vincent explains that Lord Feng presided over the trail of Tudagub in an unfair way, giving credence to circumstance evidence. While Vincent did lose the honor duel at the end of the trial, it was Tudagub who killed Lord Feng afterwards during the party's escape from the town. Lisa affirms since Vincent lost the trial by combat that Tudagub's life was forfeit and their killing of Lord Feng in "self-defence" was unlawful. King Loth'Logar declares he doesn't care at all what happened to her father, or the murder of any human. Loth'Logar then orders Lisa to be taken away from I'Yaara Oryn with 3 days of provisions. Lisa is disarmed before she can attack Vincent and taken away by the guards.
===The Last Dragon War===
King Loth'Logar speaks to the party of the last dragon war and how he fought in the war personally. The elves only obtained victory in the war because of weapons forged by people they do not speak of. There are four of these weapons; a sword, a bow, a hammer, and a spear. They were the Dragonbane Weapons. After the weapons were used, they were spread far and wide from one another. The weapons are full of power however are considered dangerous. Loth'Logar tasks the party with obtaining these four weapons.
A messenger arrives saying the Bannerless Army is four days away from the edge of the forest. King Loth'Logar tells the party the location of the first Dragonbane Weapon, Kralfort the hammer in Holy City Emberstone. The party must leave now before the Bannerless Army blocks the path of the party. Loth'Logar's brother, Jamal is in Emberstone will have more information for the party.
Azril says he can use to teleport the party to bypass the army so the party won't try to sneak. The party are given lodgings for the night. Vincent is seething over the betrayal by Lisa.
===15th November===
The next day, Azril casts and the party appears in Renforge, near the Red Desert. Renforge hasn't been attacked by the Bannerless Army as of yet. 
They set out south-east towards Ember Stone. It is 14 days away by 2 horse & pony (which Azril pays for). Abigaël & Bregor share a horse, Azril takes the pony and Vincent has a horse on his own.
Along the road to Ember Stone the party hears rumors that the Holy City has closed it's gates to all because of the coming war.
===29th November: Holy City Ember Stone===
On the 14th day at sunset the party arrive outside the walls of Holy City Ember Stone. The gates are shut as the rumors have suggested. Vincent demands entry, saying they come from Lord Loth'Logar to speak with his brother Jamal. After some hesitation, the guard sends a messenger to bring Lord Jamal. Eventually Lord Jamal arrives and grants the party entry into the city.
The party speak with Lord Jamel and he is surprised to learn that Loth'Logar hid the Kralfort the hammer somewhere in Ember Stone. Lord Jamel guesses that the hammer, Kralfort, is hidden in the Old Catacombs of the Last Dragon War. Lord Jamel gives the party permission to search the crypt tomorrow morning. The party rest at Jamel's residence overnight.
===30th November===
At dawn Lord Jamel takes the though the city towards the tombs. In the centre of the Holy City is a massive temple (the size of the Vatican) to Astair, and considered one of the most sacred sites in the world. This however isn't the location of the Old Catacombs of the Last Dragon War, but elsewhere in the city.
The party are led to the catacombs and they go inside on their own. The party make their way down the set of unlit stairs and down a corridor to a large chamber. In the centre of the chamber is a hammer on a pedestal.
Azril backs up from the chamber back to the stairs, afraid of traps. Abigaël spends some time searching and finds the only trap is on the pedestal. Bregor then ties a rope around Abigaël, and she goes and disarms a trap on the pedestal. Vincent picks up the hammer and the trap goes off. 3 coffins open and 3 flesh golems come out.

Lord Jamel reveals the Dragonbane Spear, Blood Singer, is in Tides End, inside the throne of the king of the Stormtide Kingdom. Lord Jamel thinks the king doesn't even know the spear is there. In the past 200 years the Stormtide Kingdom has grown greedy and taken cities along the coastlines. Lord Jamel gives the party a letter of introduction, but doesn't expect the party a warm welcoming into Tides End.
Lord Jamel explains the reason for the weapons to be spread out like this. When the weapons were made there was a flaw, their personalities grow to match their wielder, and they are difficult to control.
The last reports of the Bannerless Army is they have reach as far east as Rivervale, and were fighting with the forces of Palanthas on their southern flank. Jamel doesn't know if they have reached as far west as Windsail.
