## Scenes

* Anya investigates the outpost where Tealo disappeared and follows him through the portal
	+ When she enters, she sees the Order of Lumis members carrying Tealo away; she is surrounded by light and nothing casts shadow
	+ As Anya hides behind a large tapestry, Tealo into the same room
	+ He is set in the middle of the room as a beam of light radiates from the Order members and spins into a ring around Tealo
* Tealo awakes amidst the light and is questioned by the members
	+ He confronts them on their assault and kidnapping
	+ An old man wearing simple robes and a medallion with the Order’s symbol enters and supports Tealo, repudiating and punishing the members
	+ The old man reveals the sword and places it between Tealo and himself as they sit for tea
	+ The old man speaks of a war and the story of the sword
		- There were two brothers, The Light Bringer and The Shadow Seeker; each of them forged a sword
		- They had one sister and sense of balance between them, Lady Lyra
		- It came time to decide how the mortals of the world would live. The Light Bringer suggested knowledge and power for all, but The Shadow Seeker disagreed, that some knowledge is too powerful to know.
		- Lady Lyra created 5 Shards of Power
		- 2 Shards were given to The Light Bringer, 2 to The Shadow Seeker, and 1 for Lady Lyra
		- Out of fear that his sister would side with his brother, The Shadow Seeker killed Lady Lyra and stole her Shard
		- A child witnessed the act and told the world of what The Shadow Seeker had done
		- The Shadow Seeker was condemned to death for his crimes, but not before he murdered The Light Bringer as well
		- There was no one to govern the world and the 5 Shards were scattered across Taor and hidden
		- Only when the 5 Shards are recovered and placed in either the Sword of Secret or the Sword of Lumis can Lyra's Library, a library that contains all written knowledge, be found
		- The Order of Lumis wishes for all this knowledge to be known. The Order of Secret wishes to hide the library.

* After a few seconds, ancient Talian coins, progressively faster, start pouring out of the fissure
* As Tealo bats away hundreds of coins, Pit manages to close up the fissure

	+ He stayed for a decade with the Order of Secret, though never was truly a part of them
	+ Returning to the monastery one day, he found it burned down; he received a message in his sword detailing his master’s plan and an instruction to find the Order of Lumis
	+ He then details the events that occurred in Nagura earlier that day
* The crew celebrates and embraces Tealo
* Amongst the commotion, Hamlet receives a vision from inside the tower of fire. Inside is a large, almost monstrous, red tiefling. Behind, there is a cough: a regular-sized red tiefling on the floor close to death. The voice of Thane speaks “Keep that one, your friend, close. We have lost our key, she will be our new one.” In an instant, Hamlet is returned to their surroundings.
