Tree Trauma and Tree Accessories

The Wanderers emerged into the Verdant Grove, to be greeted by the haggard voice of the Weeping Rowan. The Rowan expressed his disappointed that the Wanderers had not come to the Verdant Grove seeking him and his deal, but rather for Dalee and Ascher. Upon mentioning them, the Rowan revealed that they were bound in the ivy that covered the stone walls of the Verdant Grove. No one was able to deal through the thick ivy and distance the status of the two, and frankly there was not time to do so either as the Rowan quickly moved past the two. He offered to show the group the deal that he offers all who enter the Verdant Grove despite it not being their goal in arriving there, and at this moment all of the Wanderers vision went black and they were in an ethereal dream plane with the Weeping Rowan.

Individually the Rowan went through the memories of the Wanderers, showing them their most sorrowful memories and offering to take away that pain and guilt that the Wanderers felt because of those memories. Most of the Wanderers stood strong and declined the Weeping Rowans offer and awoke back in the Verdant Grove in control of their emotions and bodies. This was true for all of them, except Aggraash, who returned to conscious not in control of themselves, but rather as a thrall of the Weeping Rowan. Panicked, members of the Wanderers quickly rushed into action; a few went after Aggarash, others to Dalee and Ascher, and a few after the Weeping Rowan itself.

During the battle against the Rowan, the Wanderers found they needed to destroy several vines that were allowing the Rowan to protect himself. The group had to do this while protecting themselves from the thralls, lair, and the Rowan. Ernelis quickly took Aggrash out of the fight by casting hold person on them and managed to tank a lot of the damage from the thralls while Toven and Jothomir rescued Dalee and Ascher. Also during this time; Clover, Kaedra, Garyn, and Kelta focused on the vines to weaken the Rowan. The group was worn down during the battle with Clover, Jothomir, and Ernelis all going down at different points as the thralls, and eventualy Aggarash, were able to deal solid blows to the group. After being healed by Kelta, Jothomir was able to strike the final blow on the Rowan, who had lost his extra defense and had been severely weakened by the others. The Rowan stumbled out of the tree, free from his prison and able to feel his own emotion for the first time since. He felt profound sadness as he breathed his final breath.

Tally reinforced the claim that Roxterra had no mayor, although Eldrin found record of Davik Haye being the last in a line of mayors.

* Jothomir Joros, Clover Noel, and Garyn Hillbridge investigated the main hall, taking particular note of the study. Jothomir found two sets of footprints - one that seemed to be the remnants of someone clearing out the study's books and one set of wandering footsteps that Jothomir theorized belonged to Riala Haye. Clover found a secret door behind one of the bookshelves with no keyhole and an inscription of mysterious writing, which Jothomir recognized as Deep Speech.
* After several attempts to break down the door with brute strength, Eldrin dispelled the magic of the door and, instantly after, Toven broke the door nearly off its hinges. The party discovered a hidden basement area with a small bundle of bedding, as well as writings and drawings all across the wooden paneling of the walls. Several of the party members recognized that some of the scratching resembled sheet music, and realized that it corresponded to the same mysterious song they heard from Nessa. The party then departed, with Toven in particular feeling very uncomfortable in the basement
* Later that night, the Wanderers tracked Riala Haye back to the Mayor's House. Riala noted that her door had been broken through but continued on, growing slightly excited that the Wanderers, newcomers to the town, may be able to help.

Temple to Bahamut

*This article is about the temple in Esselvar. For the temple in the Shattered City, see Temple of Bahamut.*

The **Temple to Bahamut** is a largely defunct temple in the center of the city of Esselvar.

Built to honor both the god Bahamut and commemorate the founding of Esselvar by Laiex Sha’varis, the temple eventually fell into disuse. The Wanderers explored the temple during their investigation of the resurgence of An-Mirima upon hearing that Jaric Zoul had been sneaking into the temple.

## Description

* Composed largely of marble white stone
* Exterior is covered in vines and has carvings that are crumbling in some places, but the overall structure is still strong
* Contains an inner room with five statues, one of which depicts Laiex Sha'varis. Moving the sword of the statue opens a secret passage
* Beyond the secret passage is a room with several stone arches, as well as a distinct air flow that whistles in certain tones upon passing through each arch. Rearranging the arches so that the airflow plays the musical tone imprinted on the door of the room opens the door.
* Beyond the door is a hallway containing pit traps and arrow traps. Beyond this hallway is an arena containing several golems as well as an adamantine pool and an acid pool, acting as a testing ground for adherents of Bahamut.
* Beyond the arena are two pathways. One leads to a door that requires buttons to be pressed in the same order as the tune from the archway room, behind which is a statue containing a riddle. Upon answering the riddle correctly, the statue presented the Wanderers a magic gem. The other pathway leads across another pit, this one adorned with runes that dispelled magic, and into a room that generates hostile constructs. These constructs also require combatants to defeat them in an order matching the tune from the archway room- doing so opens up another secret passageway.
* Beyond the passageway is a room with a mirror on one wall and two torches on the other. The room also contains an inscription: "The mirror reveals those worthy of the journey to light the way." The mirror does not show a reflection for some, possibly based on alignment. Those without a reflection may pass into the mirror in order to light the torches on the other side, while those with a reflection risk harming anyone entering the mirror, as the reflections grow hostile upon anyone entering the mirror. A locked door to the room opens once the torch in the mirror is lit.
* Beyond this door is another set of ornate double doors, labelled "The Final Test." Inside these doors is a large arena filled with murals and carvings depicting the battle between Bahamut and Tiamat, including a large stone statue of Tiamat on the ceiling. Upon a full party entering the room, the doors close, and the Bahamut statue comes to life, aiming to fight the party.

The Destruction of Wander

**The Destruction of Wander** by Kyvrin, the Zealot of Flames, was a pivotal event in Taezan and in the lives of the Wanderers.

## Background

The red dragon Kyvrin was thought to be dead for two centuries up until the Destruction of Wander. He had terrorized Taezan several centuries earlier, but had gone silent for the previous two hundred years.

The town of Wander was a rare point of stability in the chaotic Oceren Region of Taezan. It was ruled by Lady Evanna Trysh, who had recently enlisted the Wanderers to recover an important family heirloom from a goblin attack.

Lady Trysh's senior guard Cole Harl was contacted by the Wanderers during their exploits in Selse. At this point in time, all in Wander seemed well.

## Attack

The Destruction of Wander occurred while the Wanderers were en route to the town after concluding their business in Selse.

In the middle of the night, Kyvrin attacked the town, burning down buildings and townsfolk alike. At several points, he flew low enough to attack with his fangs and claws, as evidenced by the injuries found on Milton's body.

Although the majority of the population of Wander was killed, about two hundred of the townsfolk managed to evacuate, among them Lady Evanna Trysh and her wife Lucretia.

Upon completing his work, Kyvrin flew to the northwest, proclaiming his name as he left ashes and smoke in his wake.

## Known Casualties

* Cole Harl
* Milton
* Sigrid
* Symphony Trysh
* The majority of the population of Wander

## Aftermath

The survivors of the Destruction of Wander gathered to the east and set off for the Shattered City in the hopes of finding shelter for the foreseeable future. The refugees met up with Toven Bryar and Kaedra Wilshorn, who had left Illeyre with the intention of visiting Wander. They additionally met with Warrior McFighter and Sir Wingsalot. These adventurers collectively decided to escort the refugees to the Shattered City to ensure their safety.

The Wanderers caught up with the refugees after several days, and proceeded to escort them for the extent of their journey, including a night spent outside the walls of Madbrook. After the Wanderers' investigation of Lord Madbrook's murder, Gregorios also joined the refugees on their journey to the capital.

Upon arriving at the Shattered City, the refugees waited outside in order to organize themselves and decide what was to be done next. The Wanderers managed to secure shelter for the refugees, sending the majority to lodgings in the Temple of Tyr and guiding the rest to the homeless shelter in Solidarity.
