Rule of Law

## Summary

Ravvas Arkanen looks at Jalerom Tanlaial as he speaks about Ravvas being guilty of genocide while also taking back the ring. Faerthurin talks about her understanding Ravvas and how he took her father away from her. Amber Hawthorne talks about how she questioned the loyalty of her friends because of him. Ivan Windstrummer shows Ravvas his scared chest, eye and gets savage with his words. Oin Lightbringer actually forgives him for transgressions against him. Rime Bowerstone talks about how she lost her family indirectly thanks to him. Valill Despith talks about how the rest of Venom trusted him and he destroyed that trust. Nion talks about the drow in the crowd that took their own lives because of their loss of pride. Juel then mutters about how he let Elvana Kilvir manipulate her. Jeminya Malum talks about how because of him, she was left rotting in The Nine Hells, left traumatized by looking at other tieflings, her god, Rose Emeraldsong and sister died and that opinions of the drow have worsened. She hopes to add Ravvas' folly to the education of her people.

As Jeminya looks at Ravvas in the eyes, she mentions that Simula's favorite fruit was pineapple. This made Ravvas realize that Simula did indeed care about others that weren't her. When the party explains that to Jeminya, she realizes that he helped change her for the better. She asked him if he wants redemption but he doesn't even know what that is. She asks if he's sorry and Ravvas says yes. Much to Jeminya's dismay, she asks Amber to let him go. Amber obeys and Jeminya tells him to run. Ravvas walks away as Valill forgives him while Ravvas turns to the party with tears in his eyes saying that he doesn't.

King Cassian and Enzio Zadimus enter the arena wondering what happened. Hana Wormwood wants to talk but Jeminya denies her for the people's sake. She mentioned that Ravvas escaped so she orders her people to find him. Valill and Juel are taken into custody with Cassian promising that they will be protected. Rime is given some final moments with Juel, Nion and Oin. Cassian remarks that Nion's warriors are safe but in hiding. The four of them hug before Nion leaves via shadow walk and Rime promises that Oin can help her just as he helped Rime. Ivan then talks with Valill about Ravvas taking the first step to redemption. The last members of Venom are taken away.

Faerthurin and Jeminya hug over the loss of their gods. They hope that it's over but a woman named Mystra, the mother of magic and goddess of the weave, appears saying that it isn't quite over yet. She congratulates the party on their victory and summons Glasya Malum who's been crying for a while. Mystra declares that several gods are missing and their roles must be filled. Glasya is charged with Baator. Ollidamara is delighted as he appears. He mentions that Glasya owed him a favor and he wanted the first draft of the Primeval Pact. Glasya agrees and summons the pact. Everyone feels the pressure while Amber, Jeminya, Rime and Faerthurin feel some kind of empowerment. Ivan and Hana begin shaking at the sense of a primordial evil. Oin and Jalerom are forced onto their knees from the pain.

Ollidamara is delighted when he gets the first draft of the primeval pact and tears it up. The pressure on everyone is alleviated and Ollidamara is so happy that he begins crying. It turned out that tearing up the paper was his goal all along and hoped Heironious would get to see it. Ollidamara tells Oin that even his bad luck curse was a part of this plan. He thanks Oin for believing in him and gives something to him.
