Session 16 - A Little Illumination

by Jack

The party found their way to the mouth of the White River, and were greeted by an aged, tired, and emaciated unicorn that introduced itself as Nelle. Nelle revealed that he was tasked by Bhurisrava to protect several elves living in the village within the Fire Forest. Nelle complied, healing the elves as much as he could over 40 years, but his magic had little to no effect. The elves still burned, never dying, constantly suffering, their minds destroyed by the pain.
 
Nelle also revealed that Bhurisrava tried to remove one of these burning elves from the forest, but the elf turned to ash upon leaving the boarders of the woods. The party now had confirmation of their fears for Myetharia's fate.
 
As talk turned to Bhurisrava, Nelle shared that he was an elf with red hair and a healing mace. The same mace that Bryn found in the shrine, held by a dead elf with red hair. In all likelihood, Bhurisrava was dead. Nelle shared that Bhurisrava was allied with the Seela people, a village that remained in the forest to this day. They are the singers of the song that Winry heard in her vision from the dream seed.
 
Jack used Minor Illusion to create an image of Indomitability, and Nelle shared that he is a child of Trilla (also known as "Trillith"). He invaded the forest many years ago in the form of a giant fiery stag. Anyariel repelled him, but he was not defeated.
 
Nelle then showed the group a statue of an eagle and a dragon intertwined, and on it were six Feather Tokens. Nelle gifted these to the party, and clarified the grave truth of the situation - the party must end the suffering of the forest; they must free or defeat Indomitability.
 
Heading back down the river to reconnect with Torrent and Crystin, the party came across a fairy-like woman named Tiljann who was being attacked by other fairy people. The attackers claimed that Vohl demanded Tiljann's death. The party scared away most of the attackers and saved Tiljann, who revealed she and her attackers were of the Seela people. In thanks for saving her life, Tiljann agreed to tell the party a story that would answer many of their questions.
