## Summary

*Summary is taken from Reddit Wiki, written by u/astralcortex*

The party arrives at Camp Last Stand. Once they get there they consult with the blacksmith to get several items commissioned and go to Igor to get poison, health potions, and cocaine made from dragon blood. Seren talks to Neve about her emotional instability from all of her adventures and says that at some point there'll be a time where Seren will need Neve's help. After talking to the *Gambler's Delight* party, they go and talk to Erin.

They first hand him *The Ramblings of Murdoch*, a book from Adabbon, from it Erin discovers that if the camp agrees they can open a portal to Abaddon with Antonius's presence at the cost of many souls. Antonius also hands Erin *The Call of Abaddon*, and finds out interesting information that he says he'll tell Antonius later. Madd Morc then asks Erin how to contain The Violet eye that he possesses, to which Erin casts true sight on the eye. This action grants Ster (*not* Erin) the ability to have any two questions answered by Arcadum, with a potential consequence of the universe ending.

The first question Ster asks is *"What is the most effective way for a mortal to control The Violet?"* To which Arcadum answers,

> "Only one controls The Violet."
>
>

 Ster then asks, *"How is it that this one particular individual has grown capable of using The Violet where others cannot?"*, then Arcadum answers,

> "The Violet and this One are the same. One controls oneself. One gained The Violet by the shattering of a covenant."
>
>

 A Violet flash of light goes across the sky as a Violet lightning bolt crashes down on the camp, but it is blocked by the Vizier. The Herald is empowered and grows closer, and Violet enemies get added to Tyre's dungeon.

Braktor reveals that he was a Seven in a different refraction, and also explains that the world exists in cycles and people change that through courage. He also states that he broke a covenant, but he does not believe it's the same covenant that The Enemy broke. Braktor also talks about how he met Inu, but as he does so Morc feels a pain in the chest so they stop. Arcadum also reveals the role of the Cardinal, an individual that's meant to bear forbidden knowledge and safely pass it to others.

Madd Morc then asks what's special about his hat, Braktor finds that it's magical and has a rune to activate it, but knows nothing more. Erin then tells Antonius that he's a Vega, and that *The Call of Abaddon* is a journal of his, and it's mentioned that The Reckoning happened 70 years ago. Seren has a meltdown and goes and gives herself a makeover with Ahst and Neve. They then receive their portal stone and they head into the labyrinth.
