## Lore

### Start of Something Greater

Opens up on the border between K'arthen and Cydonia. Borgen, who is now the leader of K'arthen, and Hasan, the leader of Cydonia, meet in the middle. Hasan asks about the attack on Phaethon but Borgen assures him that the actual attack didn't take place at all and that if it wasn't for the brave Magnorite Igneous, the whole city would have been destroyed. He also offers the Cydonians two chests full of ores as a sign of peace. The Cydonia official says that if he thinks this brings peace, he is wrong. To which Borgen replies, that he doesn't expect this bring peace, but that it is start of something greater.

### Take Back the Crown

Cuts to the End. Abbigail is being healed by an Ender Crystal, surrounded by Endermen. She heads out into the Overworld, where she finds Denny and Luna waiting. He says that Allister and Thunderdome flew to Crown Peak while Saxon and Trevor went to it by foot. Denny would have went too but Luna didn't want to, so he stayed with her. As he says this, Galleous aproaches them and asks what happened. After Abbigail informs him, she asks what must she do, after which Galleous reveals, that he's carrying female obsidian armor and replies to take back the Ender crown.

### Battle of Felora

In Felora, the attack has already begun and the Felden armies have just arrived. Kiyoshi orders the troops to mainly protect civilians and to evacuate as many people as possible. The Felden officials are being escorted by a Necromancer and few Undead. Kiyoshi jumps in and kills them and asks if the Nether star has been taken out of the beacon, to which the officials reply yes. Just as the officials evacuate as well, the Necrolord, along with an escort, that includes brainwashed Niika, steps in Kiyoshi's way. They talk for a bit before Lucan reveals that he's still dressed as a Necromancer and in the Necrolord's escort. He kills the rest of it, excluding Niika, and jumps to Kiyoshi's side, saying that they can talk about their punishment later. Kiyoshi fights the Necrolord, while Lucan fights Niika. Niika is clearly a better fighter than Lucan, but Lucan tricks her into thinking he's going to admit he loves her, but instead says that she needs to learn how to swim and along with her jumps into the water below. They both go onto the shoreline, Niika no longer being brainwashed, but are quickly cornered by the Necromancers and the Undead. The other fight is rather on Kiyoshi's side. The Necrolord, realizing he's loosing, reveals his Ardoni identity and fires a Song at Kiyoshi. After he asks about it, the Necrolord says that he was once named Xan Voltaris and that after he has seen the Nether control the Undead, creatures thought to be mindless, he decided to control this army as well. Using his Ardoni advantage, the Necrolord beats Kiyoshi up severaly, eventually knocking his axe away, forcing him to use a small back-up sword. Shortly after, he is cut across the chest. Kiyoshi sadly looks towards Felora, knowing he failed, as his opponent talks about it. At the end of his monolouge, the Necrolord pick up Kiyoshi's sword and stabs him in the back with it. He flinches but still keeps looking into Felora. As the Necrolord walks away, Kiyoshi slowly falls to the ground, dead. Cuts to a forest outside of Felora, the prisoners, including Lucan and Niika, are being rounded up. The Necromancers also bring the officials, who say, that they can't enslave them, because they're official council members of Felden. The Necrolord responds, that there's no more Felden and orders the Undead to kill them. He turns his attention to Lucan and Niika, who hold hands, knowing they're going to die. The Necrolord raises his staff towards Lucan and Niika, but nothing happens. They all look around and on top of a hill, see a Wither, with Pythus and the Angel of Death beneath them.
