Chapter 8
Pegulis
A disgruntled Medwick leads a rag-tag group deep into Barvelle's most secret tunnels. He will seek to meet the Vonsoon, a senile Nocturne clan who survived the Cataclysm by burrowing deep into the mountains. The city is still hamstrung by the invasion of the khasidim, angry dragon-followers who seek to take revenge on the city due to the slaughter of their home, a dragon. In addition, a hidden cult with reasons unknown keeps the Archon imprisoned in the highest tower.
New Kaustir
The Czar's army grows restless. However, he will have to prepare for unforeseen circumstances. One of Tattersal's many gambits will pay off, and he will be forced to march North, turned from the East by the giant mangrove barricade.
Viridos
(CONTINGENT ON ACTIVITY!) Tattersal continues in his efforts to cleanse the grevious from the lands. Their interference becomes so great that it threatens an intervention from the Jade Prophet. Should he fail to contain the spread of the aux-eaters, an even more ancient force will return from her self-imposed exile.
The Prosperos
(CONTINGENT ON ACTIVITY!) The merchant nation seeks to solidify its power base. The volatility of New Kaustir's actions are impeding its ability to do business, especially with Tattersal's actions. They wish to restore the peace, or at worst, execute a controlled war so that coin may continue to flow. Their paths fork along diplomacy and subterfuge, and diving deep into the ocean to find a Divine Weapon of omnipotent power - or a sleeping attendant of the Old Gods who would wreck their fledgling city ships.
