Third Elven Age

Arma Lucis, along with Scouting Officer Lyn arrive near Palewood and behold from a mile or so away the amassed force around the wood crafting community.   Nearly 1600 skeletons surrounded he fated community. The small town barely able to hold off the forces. Arma Lucis and Lyn ride through the horde to reach the front gate of the town. Luckily escaping being pulled from their mounts and a well placed Channel Divinity from the Light Cleric, Raine, the skeletons near the gate are vaporized near the front gate, giving them a moment to pull into the town safely.   After getting into town, Teryl the militia captain and Scouting Officer Lyn brief them on the current situation...

The very next day, Arma Lucis is planning their next steps against the Rahkshasa and The Benefactors. After acquiring a few magical weapons from shopping and training up a few new skills they are met by a guild representative. He informs them that the Merchant Queen has heard of their deeds in defeating Garon Sprigg and providing information to the authorities via Liarel the War Cleric. They now head back to their keep that is now being provided from the Mercahnt Queen for the arrests of the Benefactors from the list found in Garon Sprigg's tower.   As they arrive their, they are met by Drago who offers his services once again. The guild representative arrives and officially register's their guild/group name as Arma Lucis.   They hold a small tournament to hire a few more hands for the keep. This tournament finds them four hirelings. Daerus, a Paladin, Granden, a Rogue, Lesnora, A fighter and Therdan, a shield fighter.   Later that afternoon after the tournament, a bard arrives at the keep. He comes bearing a song of congratulations and sings of a tiefling that fell to another plane, as he gives a wry grin. He drops his guise and reveals himself as the Rahkshasa.   A battle ensues with Arma Lucis with Drago and Granden at their side. In the ensuing conflict, the Rahkshasa uses plane shift once more and sends Drago to another plane. Illiana reacts against him with a critical divine smite and finishes his physical form. The Rahkshasa is gone....for now.

Arma Lucis arrives at Mount Saxxorm, the home of Shadow, the Adult white dragon. They skilfully sneak past the orc encampment under cover of a snowstorm to the mouth of Shadow's lair. Here they fight the dragon and a hand full of half orcs that are guarding him. It is a tumultuous battle, at one point the fighter Ein is impaled by a large icicle from Shadow's lair. Ein, with the help of some magic healing from Raine and Azko Lar, is able to recover and throw his Flametongue spear and critically wound the white dragon.   The orc tribe rushes to the lair to find the dragon has been killed. The leader approaches the group and recognizes Rehati. The orc leader is a half orc paladin, by the name of Lakein, who grew up with Rehati in a monk temple years ago, that was just near the border of the Northlands. After a quick reunion, Lakein calls off his clansmen and thanks Arma Lucis for freeing the Grey Orcs from Shadow.   Arma Lucis recovers from the battle, Rehati bids farewell to Lakein and they head into the underdark via a passage in Shadow's Lair.

Arma Lucis face to face with Aethlyn, realize that they are outnumbered. Illiana senses dozens of evil presences surrounding them. Aehtlyn makes a remark about Illiana's neice, before he turns and casts disintegrate on a large pot sitting against a building in a back alley. Aethlyn warns them they need to leave the area for at least four months after his show of power....   Realizing they are outmatched, they make a hasty retreat out of Myrar Hill. Their horses have disappeared, they hop into a magic shop and discover that she and many other citizens are under mind control of Aethlyn and his cohorts. They knock the shopkeeper out and hop in her wagon and leave Myrar Hill...to warn Darendal.

The group looks far and wide for clues to the Scions. They are informed in Darendal of an ancient pillar, said to be a gate to a magical library. They find a stone pillar four days southeast of Illdendor's captiol city and figured out puzzle to unlock it.   A portal opens to a extra planar library, where they meet a sphinx, who tells them of the location of River’s Wind and Averonne’s Grace. The sphinx also gifts them with the spiritual key to River's Wind.   The group decides to head to the Northlands in search for River's Wind. Into the Giant War of the Northlands....

On this day in history, Arma Lucis led a small army against Apanath's remaining forces to raid the interior of Mt.Saxxorm where King Apanath had secured himself.   Upon fighting their way into Apanath's throne room, they found the giant king, strengthening himself with an elemental rift. The following fight was a bloody encounter, that resulted in Gallen losing a leg, Illiana's face was nearly cut open and lost her sight in one of her eyes temporarily and Nennoh's ribcage was nearly crushed.   The fight ended when Illiana landed a critical blow to Apanath, causing him to fall on his sword, Razor of Night. The Storm King's vessel shattered as he fell, releasing his awesome power into the area around him. The lightning storm the poured forth from him enveloped Illiana, granting her the Storm King's Blessing. The blessing strengthened her constitution and made her resistant to lightning.   After Ein attuned to the fallen king's sword, he took up Razor of Night. Arma Lucis was successful in defeating the king and Ein was declared a lord of Elleryn. Arma Lucis also harvests some sky stones from the top of Mt.Saxxorm, which they have taken back and shipped to Darendal to Gibbet for an airship.

Arma Lucis climbs aboard their new airship, developed by Gibbit from Darendal and proceed to fly out to an island off the coast to Illendor to investigate the Merchant Queen's information. The members of Arma Lucis worry that the Benefactors are developing a new weapon or monster to unleash upon the continent. When they arrive, they discover an island of glass and trees that drink absorb the blood of unfortunate visitors and animals.   They believe the island to be near uninhabitable, until they find a stone structure with large stone doors that are seemingly locked. As they approach, an illusory image of Garon Sprigg, who was believed dead, appears before them and taunts them into traversing his dungeon. The group already apprehensive, all agree to see what they can find and if it leads to nowhere, agree to leave immediately. Arma Lucis traverses the dungeon, solving puzzles to proceed and rests for a time after they had expended a majority of their spells and abilities.    After the group is fully rested, the descend into a new part of the dungeon and discover a number of glass containers large enough to hold a standard humanoid. These containers have occasional masses of flesh and intellect devourers inside of them. After they approach the final door and blast it open with a well placed fireball, the smoke clears.   They are face to face, with people identical to some of the original members. A clone of Nennoh, Rayne, Ein and Illiyana await them in the laboratory beyond the door. At their feet, is Garon Sprigg, dead once again. Every one of the clones wears a gemstone ring containing an Amethyst. The clones initiate combat against Arma Lucis in what ends up being a surprising turn of events. The clones quickly learn from Arma Lucis and develop powers nearly equivalent to them during the span of the fight.    Ness casts Hold Person on Rayne's clone, the clone Ein and Illiyana are dispatched, while the clone of Nennoh tries to wildshape into a giant scorpion. She is quickly shut down by Gallen, who uses the spell storing ring previously owned by Aethlyn and casts Disintegrate out of the ring, curtesy of Aethlyn being a higher spellcaster at that current time.    The group inspects the room behind the laboratory and discovers a 7 foot pylon made of Amethyst as well. After Gallen and Nennoh spend time looking over the inscribed runes, they find it is linked to the rings worn by the clones. The group disables the pylon by casting dispel magic and they try to interrogate Rayne's clone to see if she knows anything. She responds with hostility and tries to attack them after Hold Person wears off. Ein and Illiyana respond by quickly dispatching her.    When the final breath leaves her body, the amethyst ring on her hand glows. Gallen casts identify and discovers, Rayne's clone, had her consciousness stored into the ring upon death. After inspecting the other clone's rings, they discover the other ring's are dull colored and inert. Arma Lucis comes to the realization that the other clone's minds had escaped to a different location, unknown to them. They look at each in horror, realizing there are clones of Ein, Illiyana and Nennoh.

Arma Lucis decides to split up around 4 months and search the world for the scions. Ness takes this time to craft herself a powerful Warlock Rapier, a Nine Lives Stealer. Ein, Illiyana and Rayne decide to upgrade their keep in Tarynhall and fortify it a bit, while Gallen helps Ness enchant a few other items over the teams break. Nennoh takes time to head back toward the spire that brought Arma Lucis to the demiplane of the Sphinx. She spends her time there studying history and reading about ancient kingdoms and items.   When they return from their break, the Merchant Queen has sent for the party to gather in Tarynhall once more, upon learning more from her spies. The Queen has received rumors that Ein, Illiyana and Nennoh were spotted boarding a boat into the south sea. The group immediately determines the clones have planning and most likely discovered something in the south sea. Arma Lucis departs Tarynhall immediately in a desperate chase.

On a sunny morning off the coast of Elleryn, Ein Ianson, leads the remnants of Arma Lucis in an attack on an offshore antimagic prison complex. With Ein are Lesnora, Granden, Therdon and the Revenant of Nennoh. Ein lets loose a salvo against the prison with the cannons of the airship. The group descends into the prison where structural damage has been caused. Granden, now more experienced in his role as a member of Arma Lucis leads the way, assassinating guards and soldiers that get in the groups way. Lesnora and Therdon find the first couple of rooms where Gallen and Illianna are being held captive. Lastly finding Ness and removing the bonds and traps keeping her secure.   After being in prison for so long, the rescued members are exhausted and require being defended while the group makes its way to the courtyard. As they approach the escape point, they are surrounded by prison guards and a blood hag. Who has supernatural worms empowering her body and inhabiting a monstrous warrior who obeys her commands. Azko Lar who was piloting the ship, hops down into the battle to assist the rescue party.    During the fight, the blood hag drains Therdon of his blood and he is killed in battle. Lesnora grabs Therdon's body and heads to the airship to escape after as Granden is being held back by the warrior and hag. Azko Lar raises his sword into the air, says a pray to his goddess and the obsidian on the sword flakes and falls away to reveal a platinum and bronze blade. Azko Lar becomes a conduit for all the lightning held in the sword, vaporizing himself, the hag and her warrior. Allowing for Arma Lucis to escape into the skies.

A single blue Dragonborn cleric infiltrated a ceremony in Averonne's Temple of Trials. Attempting to steal what magical items she could for her dead god and the Sapphire Gem dragon that she was assisting. This led to a confrontation that ended in the deaths of three local heroes.   The Senate of Dren Konar is now forced to deal their brother and sisters from ages past.
