## Plot

Aragi and Vargas gather information on the Dragon Tribes while Phylyco joins Hezekiah to fight Dhaxx.

## Synopsis

The meeting has taken a turn. Aragi needs to make sure what Elbije is saying is true so he leaves and heads towards Prin. Vargas has Tadal follow him in case things go sour. The King continues to discuss how helpful Hezekiah can be. The Merc however is still focused on the destruction of Dhaxx the Beholder. Phylyco agrees to deal with the Merchant King with him for an increase in resources. Elbije demands double but decides it’s not her battle and declines to help. She leaves to focus on the Dragons. Phylyco alters his deal to include any treasures within the fortress and allow himself, his Iquisitor, and his Commander free roam of Aethel. Vargas agrees, knowing they will need Dhaxx dealt with for him to have a true united country. He decides to go after Aragi and Tadal while Phylyco and Layne join Hezekiah back to Aethel. Aragi arrives at Prin to discover the Defteros camp has been divided between the Prota and Tritos. He reevaluates the situation and decides to gather information about where the Defteros have gone. He gets no information from the Prota Tribe so he goes to the Tritos and immediately gets an answer.

Hezekiah and the others are scouting the Silver Throne. He signals the others to prepare as he enters the fortress. Vargas catches up to Aragi and Tadal as they are arriving at the burned down camp. A voice in Vargas’ head warns them to leave as Aragi finds a necklace belonging to Rathisi. It is too late as a massive shadow looms above them and a gigantic silver dragon lands. An Elven gentleman steps off and he informs the King that something very bad is going to be happening at the Spire and he should go deal with it. He requests that Aragi stay to speak with his superior. Vargas and Tadal leave to go save their people. They arrive and he warns the Warden that an attack is coming and he is curious how many prisoners they have. Meanwhile, Aragi is introduced to the Tiefling that has been killing the Dragonborn. He is adamant on finding the thirteenth legendary dragon and he believes Aragi has access to her. Aragi’s stupidity enrages the man but the Elf calms him down. They get onto their dragons and depart, leaving him stranded to question not only the motives but if Singula is actually what they claim. Hezekiah approaches Dhaxx and the Beholder only gets two words out before he is muted by Phylyco. Without his voice, he cannot use his magic and Hezekiah takes this opportunity to call upon his barbarians to slaughter the Monstrosity. Phylyco immediately begins to loot the room and suggests that he misheard Layne refer to him as “sir” earlier in the fight. The Inquisitor apologizes yet again and Hezekiah checks off his list. He calls out for Butler. The bandaged halfling comes out from the corner and Hezekiah names him the new Merchant king before leaving, on to his next task.

Vargas suggests that they may give some prisoners amnesty if they join his army but the building begins to shake. He runs out to find a Sapphire dragon assaulting the Spire. He rushes over to the Castle to gets his Wyvern Corps airborne. The voice in his head again warns him against attacking the beast but he ignores it. He fires on it with his rifle but it doesn’t even phase it. He flies up to it and lands on it’s back. He fires on the rider and he falls off into the crumbling building. The Dragon attempts to shake him off but he is resilient so it retreats back to its lair, Vargas in tow. Aragi arrives at the Gates of Pentropolis and begins shouting for Elbije that Dragons are real and very much here. He passes out from exhaustion. Layne finds a deck of cards and gives it to Phylyco. He pulls one and Layne attacks him almost immediately. He subdues him and places the deck in his pouch. He throws the inquisitor over his shoulder and leaves to return back to Stoneclaw. Aragi reawakens in Elbije’s office. He warns her about the Tiefling and she asks for a description. He gives her as much as he can remember and she informs him that it is Pragaras, her father. When Layne reawakens, He continues to attack Phylyco. The man knocks him back out and continues his trip, unaware of why his inquisitor is acting this way but will deal with it later. Vargas is brought deep into the mountains of Pentropolis and finds nine petrified Dragon statues. He begins to question the Dragon that bought him there and learns she is Vomenos the Sapphire Strike. The dragon informs him that the twelve ancient Dragons created this world and left it in the care of a mortal race called the Eladrin once. However, the Thirteenth Dragon, Gnosis the Wise, took the world from them. They stopped him, but at the cost of their lives. So, they shattered their souls into the Dragonborn tribes to be reborn generations later. Someone is resurrecting them now, so She believes Gnosis may return as well. Before Vargas can get anymore information, Pragaras and Salen return. The elf begins a ritual on another statue while Pragaras and Vargas chat. The Tiefling formally introduces himself and warns the king to surrender his people to him and allow the gods to reclaim their world. Vargas refuses and insults the enemy, claiming he could never win because he is a tiefling and they are all scum. Pragaras shows off his army and fires back as the two get into a shouting match. Vargas retreats, knowing he is out numbered but he made it known that Pragaras should be worried. The Infernari rise and begin to march as Pragaras announces that Aethel city falls first.
