The Nildorin break camp high in the frozen mountains and continue south toward Nord’s Helm, but their day collapses into terror when a horror gives chase. A warped aberration of unknown origin crashes into their path and the first blows fall as the mountain itself begins to give way. Claws, spellwork, and snow all come down at once, and survival is no longer guaranteed.

In the quiet after the battle, the Nildorin finally stop moving. Grief, doubt, and exhaustion settle in as each of them reaches for something to hold onto, a voice, a memory, a promise, a direction. New truths surface, tempers flare and soften, and the need for hope becomes louder than any plan. By morning, they are not healed, perhaps steadier, ready to try again, setting back out into Truistria.

After the chaos beneath Coldrot, the Nildorin face the fallout of everything they have endured. The cult’s sanctuary lies in ruins, but victory comes at a heavy cost. Tarin’s final breath still echoes through the halls, and the Ignis Tome now burns in Harding’s grasp, alive, hungry, and dangerous. Grief collides with power as the party ascends from the depths. The smoke of battle gives way to questions of loyalty, purpose, and fate. Old wounds reopen, tempers flare, and the red tome whispers in the dark. When gods are silent and hearts are heavy, will the Nildorin hold their fragile unity or fracture beneath the weight of what they have lost?

After months of perilous journeys across deserts, mountains, and hidden dungeons, the Nildorin finally reach the heart of Coldrot’s shadows. Old friends are found at last—but are they too late to save them? The Ignis Tome burns brighter in Harding’s hands, its power growing with each moment. Yet the Cult of Chaos will not be silenced, and their grip tightens as ancient magic threatens to break free.

Will the party stand together against fate, or will the darkness claim more than they can bear?

Intrigue takes the Nildorin deeper into Coldrot, where danger and destiny intertwine. After months of searching, their path leads into the shadows below the goblin capital, but the answers waiting there may come at a greater cost than any of them imagined.
