Session 9 - The Calamity Revealed
The party arrived in Nanaze and learned the true scope of the threat they face.
Summary
- Continued the desert journey after the Sandworm battle
- During camp, the party learned that Ariameia has a connection to Vokarth Academy, from which she was — according to her — abandoned
- Arrived at Nanaze and met Brennan, who revealed the history of The Calamity:
- During The Calamity, Tiamat was defeated by Bahamut and Pelor, and her soul was split in two
- One piece ended up in Avernus, where it was used to create the 5 powerful rings
- The rings spread across continents: 3 in Tal’Dorei, 1 in the Cobalt Soul, and 1 in Vokarth Academy
- Vespin Chloras, a powerful post-Calamity mage, tried to reunite the rings to resurrect Tiamat, manipulated by her promises of power
- Vespin was defeated by Moelwyn, Ishanah, and Kallum, who kept three of the rings
- Kallum eventually fell to the ring’s corruption and now plans to attack Vokarth Academy to seize another ring
- The academy exists in a pocket dimension — a circle of teleportation is needed to reach it
- The party returned to their residence for Brennan to spend 2-3 days casting the teleportation spell
