Blazareth
Black dragon controlled by kingfishers
He reveals there is a young black dragon and a black dragonborn located within the factory.
Aero scouts out the walls to reveal there are no guards along the wall. Triss and Joseph decode to infiltrate to let the group know something is amiss. They meet up in the great hall and find the other keys.
Triss turns an armory into an oven and kills 4 of them while collecting some weapons.
The party releases a dragon with the help of the Synapse and it blasts a hole through the ceiling.
Finding another key amongst purple moths similar to the ones you found in Gyaron.
The last key is in the dwarven barracks where the Red Heron stayed. They find orders from the Red Heron to the Butcherbird telling them to mobilize their armies on the target.
The party concurs that this must mean the Capitol of Arboran. The Kingfishers seek power and wish to take the East.
The make their way into the room being used as a conduit to control the dragons. The purple glow corrupts a symbol of Synapsid.
Arygos can take the lightning and destroys the totems as Bedlam gathers some more crystals.
The party moves forward, sossai hiding back because she is exhausted from her fever.
You enter a room used for experiments.
You see the Cross brothers strapped to chairs and in bad shape. They have been tortured.
As arygos frees the second brother, he hears a low grunt from the back. Attached to a chair by spikes is Pathos.
His brother gives Arygos a necklace that was their mothers, it has the emblem of the Merkaynian Enclave.
Rayne and Grai suggest the others should leave while commenting how they don't think they could do what Arygos has to do.
Arygos gives back his brother hammer but Pathos immediately gives it back, as a gift this time. The brothers look into each others eyes as Pathos whispers, do it.
Arygos kills his brother, doing so breaks the curse as he completed a true act of mercy.
Arygos takes the axe and throws it into a molten metal flow nearby.
Arygos walks out and declares they are going to kill the kingfishers.
He breathes electricity as his kinalite hammer charges up and his boots glow lightning blue.
After you make your way passed the acidic ground water, you enter the city of Arboran from a the hole in the surface. You see the adult black dragon circling the skies and melting the stone brickwork of the castle with its powerful acid breath.
You also see Aero storming the castle with the help of more werewolves. Aero takes out the rest of the grunt Kingfishers with the help of Bedlam and the Cross brothers. Aero set out a call in the night of the full two moons and the wolves expended their energy to rally to their Alpha. 6 days of travel and they made it here without a fae crossing.
The Cross brothers escaped when Addikus betrayed the team.
Rayne wants to reestablish the Cardinalhood but without the corruption Barren Blackcherry brought with him. Rayne seeks to invite Aero and his hunters to help him bring order back to the Mooncrest. He will help rebuild Greywyn and also wants to be officially affiliated with the Shatterbrand. Triss mentions they should rebrand from Blackcherry's team name.
Grai is a man without a home, he still seeks to fight even after his military record was forcibly ended years ago. Grai offers his sword to help lead the mercenaries of Eidon.
It is revealed that the Red Heron Christopher Knackle, the Mockingbird Addikus Windslayer and the Bloodhawk Maven Grimbind all escaped when the Fenris Tribe and black dragon stormed the castle. The trio was saved when Maven revealed herself to be a succubus and flew off with the leaders. They were aiming towards the Vargen Swamplands province.
Rayne fears that they are regrouping with their leader with the Capitol of Skygarde in their sights. The throne sits empty and all of Galfin now knows this.
Grai points out that he noticed Addikus had fang marks on his neck.
He reveals it has been 6 days since you were incarcerated. Aero was able to stop a transport wagon before the other kingfishers could escape.
Triss tasks Grai with searching the Eidon library for any hints on how to kill a succubus.
Triss and Bedlam decide to try and speak to the dragon sitting atop the melted Hedgespire.
Triss repeats some synapsi she has heard but the dragon does not respond. Bedlam unknowingly speaks its language as the ridges on her horn glow bright white. She can communicate with the dragon who reveals his name to be Blazareth.
It understands the Synapsi language. It will thank them for saving it by acknowledging their presence. He mentions how the Kingfishers are just a human reaction to the problem. The dragons were awoken to counteract something much more pressing. He is unaware of why but knows that dragons are immortal beings of chaos, they would only be used to balance an extreme shift in power and oppression. He is hesitant to say the reason for the reawakening is to fight the humans as they came into power because of the reawakening, the kingfishers did not cause it. Alas he no longer can hear Synapsid's murmurs within his mind. He can still sense remnants of the dragon god with the world as order and chaos rock the scales. He slightly gestures towards bedlam's horns. He informs you that he will fly north to the Firefang jags where the last dragon was slaughtered. It was a dragon safe haven and he hopes to rally his kind there.
At this point the world knows that the High King and his son were killed by dragons, this takes a more sinister turn when you realize that Addikus was the last person to see them alive and he commanded with the faction who could enrage dragons.
This was a lie, Addikus knew the group had been imprisoned since the king was killed and the then enthralled in the Pacuran Civil War.
Flew away to find a cave in Fallrest
