A New Dawn for Amn
Upon returning to Eshpurta, Ellis hurries to check on his wife. Along the way, he notices that most of the deceased are non-humans and members of the church. He arrives at the bookshop and finds his wife, who, despite some wounds, has managed to defend herself using arcane means. Ellis heals her, creating a moment of connection between them.
Darcell heads to the temple grounds where he finds Camilla and Duncan severely wounded. He heals both of them, feeling a mix of emotions—anger, sadness, and relief. He then focuses on healing the others who were injured. Suddenly, Darcell’s holy symbol warms, and he hears Ilmater's voice, pleased with his actions and granting him the power to heal and revive those who perished. Darcell emits a light that brings a dead citizen back to life, spreading talk throughout Eshpurta about Darcell and Ilmater's miracles.
Meanwhile, Mezo, Mavros, and Haldir return to the noble ball, where Lucius welcomes them and expresses pride in Mavros for Deios's fall. Mezo checks on Lady Crimmor, agreeing to meet when things settle down.
We return to Athkatla, welcomed as heroes. Baram, now holding a high rank after a significant promotion, organizes a procession through the grand city to the seat of the capital. In the council room, we find four of the five family leaders seated—the fifth seat vacant. Elara Selemchant, the granddaughter of Amn's founder, presides over the council. She acknowledges our successes and suggests that Amn owes us a great debt—except Darcell, who is overlooked.
Mezo speaks first, requesting acceptance in Amn and the freedom to move in and out. Meisarch Selemchant agrees, even offering to allow non-Amnians to return. Ellis then requests the establishment of an arcane academy. After some discussion, Lysander is given the responsibility to run it, with Mezo being titled First Knight and High Arbiter. Mavros expresses his dissatisfaction with House Nashivaar and requests to serve another family. Elara agrees, offering him the vacant Alibakkar seat upon marriage to Thaddeus's daughter. Haldir requests the advisor position left vacant by Gwilym's death, and Vael Dannihyr immediately agrees to take Haldir on as his advisor. Darcell requests the reopening of the temple in Eshpurta and the freedom to worship Ilmater. He also asks to guide High Arbiter Mezo. Elara agrees, provided Darcell renounces his Cormyrian citizenship in favor of Amn, which he readily does.
We celebrate that night and are gifted a villa in the noble quarters, next to Lucius Nashivaar's villa.
As the counting occurs and emblems are delivered:
Mezo receives a platinum emblem upon accepting Lady Crimmor's proposal.
Mavros receives a platinum emblem with the intent to take over the Alibakkar seat.
Ellis receives a gold emblem (with his parents now holding steel).
Haldir receives an adamantine emblem.
Darcell finds himself the second most powerful cleric in Amn.
Lysander moves to the third position in the council while Lucius is forced out. The Alibakkar family drops to the fifth position, and the Crimmor family is invited to the fourth house, potentially headed by Mezo if he accepts Lady Crimmor's proposal.
The Unbound step forward, revealing that they can no longer operate from the shadows. High Priestess Aria, Dorian Selemchant, and Lysander Ophal emerge as their leaders, signaling a new era for Amn and the Unbound alike.
