## Plot Synopsis

### The Arrival

With a burst of white light, the players are blinded. A shrill ringing fills their skulls, causing a disorienting dizziness. As the light dissipates, they see the room around them: The Eternal Hall of the Grand High Council.

As they regain their senses they hear water rushing from the golden fountains and slight confused chatter from the other strangers.

### The Introduction

Confused, they come together as a group and are introduced to one another.

The group realizes that each of the six waterfalls is a portal to one of the realms of Greater Ochuria.

### The High Council

A small gnome enters through the giant doors at the side of the room. With a booming voice he welcomes everyone to Eternal Hall. He explains that one of the group shall be chosen to speak to high council.

*Lady Xyrneth Ravensong is selected by the group and she embarks on the High Council Sidequest.*

Inside she witnesses the entrance of the high council. Finally the King speaks:

> "My Child… I thank you for coming to see us. Your reputation precedes you… I am a man of great means, but I cannot solve the problem before me. Neither the all-knowing shelves of the Great Library, nor the all-powerful light that sits at my left can help us… I have called you all before me- before the high council to solicit your support. You are all great adventurers of even greater acclaim. And you are our land's final fighting chance. No one outside this room knows of the dangers oncoming… My son, the prince royal has been taken, by a force beyond our control or understanding and we require your help to save him and return him to his rightful throne-"
>

She then witnesses a series of chaotic events centering around the Celestial Oneira's faltering magic, before being thrown from the hall to the others.

### The Chosen Few

Shortly after Lady Ravensong enters the great double doors, they magically seal themselves shut.

The leftover crew tries to figure out what is going on, meeting the renowned Cartographer Kosmia Pan. Dismas tries to steal her bag, she catches him and stabs him in the hand with a cursed dagger.

The group then pivots to medic Niki Klin, who mends Dismas' wounds. Suddenly the waterfalls run dry.

### The Sentries

An odd spell falls over the Ochurian Sentries and they raise their weapons. Combat ensues and the four of the chosen are killed, among them Kosmia Pan and Niki Klin.

Halfway through the fight, Lady Ravensong is flung through the giant doors and aids in the back half of the fight.

### The Intervention and Finale

As the last sentry is slain, the waterfalls run and the group realizes they are trapped. They can hear an army behind the waterfalls and cower towards the giant door. They fight to escape when finally the army of sentries fills the room.

Suddenly the sentries turn to stone, as the doors behind them open, revealing four members of the high council: Paron, Mellona, Proseta and the floating angel Oneira.

Oneira turns looks down to Mellona and says something in Celestial. This was later translated by Lady Ravensong to be:

"I shall take care of this... I promise... I will fix this..."

The room fills with the same white light as in the beginning.

As the light dissipates, the group sits at a table in a small cabin, somewhere in the East-Kritharian woods. (We later learn that this is Matraga Muodon's Cabin)
