Session Six: The Arc of History October 23, 2025

History does not bend quietly.

The Garden holds its breath as truths long buried rise to the surface. One among the party vanishes into living light—and returns forever changed. In a realm of moving script and golden radiance, a choice is made: secrets or truth. Memory or power. When Ellumnd reappears as the Avatar of Knowledge, the weight of the past follows with them.

At the edge of the Garden, the party finds an encampment abandoned without struggle. Fires cold. Tools left where hands once rested. The elves are gone—not scattered, but summoned—drawn deeper into the Garden toward an ancient reckoning. As supplies are gathered and signs interpreted, one truth becomes clear: this was not flight. It was judgment.

That judgment awaits within a circle of stone, where gods convene and mortals stand accused. The elves plead for survival. The Garden’s keepers demand purity. And the party finds themselves pulled into the trial—asked not only to defend the elves, but to answer for the corruption spreading across Aer'yndor itself.

When the moment breaks, knowledge becomes a weapon. Memory floods the circle. Lies unravel. And the gods are forced to reckon with the Shattered One’s influence—an offer made to save the Garden at the cost of its soul.

The elves are spared. The Garden dims. And the path forward leads not to peace—but to war.

Through a portal torn open by divine will, the party steps onto the burning plains of Thra’kul. Beneath a crimson sky, gods clash like living cataclysms. Steel meets crown. Justice meets ruin. And when a god falls, his hammer remains—still burning, still waiting.

As thunder gathers and the storm answers the call, Throgg stands before a choice that will echo through history.

Justice… or vengeance.

And the arc of history begins to turn.
