the betrothed

The group spends some time asking the young woman questions. They learn her name is Anika Brightsun and she had been chosen to be the memorial for remembrance of times when the people had to sacrifice to the dragons, but the great dragon, Aurelius, had brought peace upon the lands. She also shared that she had been prepared for this by a mage named Laurenelle Bhalu. Evangeline recognized this surname as one that had been on the plaque in Philolio.

Kadath and Evangeline used their abilities to attempt to locate either the great dragon or his son, Klastun. They found a young man who was called Cormon who seemed to be working with Arias. Fix connected with his mother to learn that Cormon had been helpful against the attack of the dragons. They quickly made their way to Yosh-ul when Arias confirmed her location.

Once they arrive, they meet Cormon and learn he is indeed the dragon’s son. He shares that his father had brought him here and induced a magical rest. When he awoke, he found he had been bound to the city through magical means. The group manages to dispel the magic and introduce Anika to him.

Evangeline tries again to locate Aurelius and her visions are taken to the Orgorek. The monolith floats above what looked to be a graveyard. Checking a map, the group realizes the Orgorek and White Lake are nearly equidistant from Yosh-ul. After some discussion, they decide to head to White Lake first. In cloud form, they cross the distance quickly and arrive just outside of the city.
