The Grimoire Hearts wondered about the nature of this encounter and the potential ramifications of Malachoz's presence.
The Shadows Edge Apothecary and Leland's Aspirations
Leland and Tempest sought new avenues of knowledge at the Shadows Edge Apothecary, with Leland aspiring to be mentored in the field of herbs and alchemy. Along their journey, they encountered intriguing characters and witnessed the secretive symbol of a red jar, hinting at a local sickness unknown to tourists. Inside the apothecary, they met a pharmacist and engaged in conversations that unraveled unexpected insights. On their way out the group encounters a begger named Abilen, who asks for money.
The Mysterious Encounter and Arud's Dagger
Their path led them to Melodies' Respite, where they had hoped to encounter the mysterious man from the apothecary. This enigmatic figure promised information about Arud's Dagger, believed to lie at the bottom of the ocean. Intrigued by the potential to uncover hidden truths, the Grimoire Hearts made plans to rendezvous with him here, though he never showed. They met instead, a man named Eems who promised to get them a boat and help them retrieved the dagger. All the while claiming to sail under the flag of Arud, though this was a lie.
Cursed Curiosities and Madame Leblanc's Tarakka Reading
Stepping into the eerie realm of Cursed Curiosities, the Grimoire Hearts found themselves surrounded by macabre artifacts and foreboding relics. Seeking guidance, they sought a tarakka reading from Madame Leblanc. The cards foretold a looming betrayal and ignited personal reflections within the group, leaving them with more questions than answers.
The Voyage and the Unexpected Transformation
Driven by their desire to uncover the secrets of Arud's Dagger, the Grimoire Hearts secured a boat and set sail under Eems' guidance. Little did they know, Eems concealed secrets of his own. He had stole this boat from Captain Nightwood. Their journey took an unexpected turn when their companion, Abilen, revealed his true form as a majestic bronze dragon. This revelation cast a new light on their voyage, intertwining their fate with the dragon's and the mysteries that lay ahead.
Into the Tempest
In a dramatic encounter at sea, the Grimoire Hearts faced off against a formidable bronze dragon named Abilen while aboard Eems' stolen ship. Tempest's daring dive led him to the sunken wreckage where Arud's Dagger awaited discovery. As the battle unfolded, Captain Arud emerged, seeking answers and claiming the dagger. The group's lives were spared, and they acquired an incantation that would unlock the secrets of the Veiled Catacombs. With their minds set on unraveling the mysteries of the shards of the Sundering and confronting the looming threat of Malachoz and his family, the Grimoire Hearts returned to land, ready to embark on their next extraordinary adventure.
The Veiled Catacombs and the Family Secret
In their search for answers, the Grimoire Hearts found themselves descending into the foreboding depths of the Veiled Catacombs. Guided by whispers and ethereal forces, they confronted the demon known as Malachoz, who revealed a dark family secret.

Manipulated by Malachoz's charm, Lyra stood as both ally and adversary, endangering herself and her friends. Through unwavering loyalty and fierce determination, they overcame their inner conflicts and emerged victorious, with Faenore's valiant efforts turning the tide of the battle. Their triumph came at a cost, leaving them with wounds physical and emotional.
