Events
The group learned more about the History of Karsus from the Sea of Swords. In the Age of Arcanum mortals (people of Neterio) were at war with the gods and had access to high level magic (would be considered 12th level spells today). Karsus crafted a ritual to allow him to assume the mantle of a god. He killed thousands in the process of creating this avatar, becoming the god of magic, Mystra, for a brief moment. But in doing so broke her concentration the weave which destroyed all magic and Mystra herself. In that moment a new goddess of magic was born and Karsus died, falling into the sea. The floating cities fell as well, killing thousands. His body makes up the land, but is suspected to not be inert. They think that the heart of Karsus could be used to create another avatar. A new god/goddess of magic was born and stabilized the weave and put limitations on magic so the same mistakes would not be made again.
The group signed on as Sea of Swords Crusaders, meaning they are willing to protect the city of New Calim. Additionally the group needs to obtain all the pieces of The The Inevitable as a backup plan to prevent the heart of Karsus being used again. They want us to obtain the pieces peacefully or otherwise. Otiluke thinks some people, like Ironsoul, might be willing to peacefully give up his portion of Aurunat, The Inevitable.
We met with the Restore Family to ask about contacts in Langston. They will give us gold and information on a contact there is we are able to obtain a magical deck of cards from a wizard named, Cadrick, in Karsus Folly.
On the way to Karsus Folly, the group encountered a forest being consumed by blight. A Young Green Dragon was the cause of this blight along with his druid servant. After a brief battle, Allara, made peace.
Setting up camp for the night, Sundara sent a message to Solonor using a spell scroll. He met her in her dreams. He said that he tried to save our people long ago, but they chose Karsus instead. Sundara asked about Spark and if it was made of souls, he said something as insignificant as that didn’t matter, Sundara is a daughter of Mechanus, not a daughter of Valendri, and therefore she is immortal. Time will not pass for her and soon nothing she is experiencing now will matter. But he has lived for millennia and the only time he ever felt something was with her. Sundara abruptly woke from the dream.
