-Ashriel’s voice rings out over the grey square. Standing just below and behind the spire, draped in the tattered remnants of a traveler’s cloak, is the broken silhouette of [[Dane Shadowstrike]]. The Tabaxi is a horrific sight. The left side of his head has been partially caved in leaving his skull fractured and matted with dark, tacky blood that refused to wash away in the transition to undeath. His left eye is a hollow, dark crater, while his right eye burns with a cold, slaved violet light. On his hip is the cursed fascist blade [[Vesperfang]].

-This is no mere engine of war. It is a vessel of the Primordial Furnace, a crucible of creation itself. Within its core, controlled only by the volatile torrents of the [[Monster Energy]], it carries the power of the beginning and the end. It possesses the divine right to destroy the obsolete and create the absolute. With this furnace, we shall burn away the frantic, disordered noise of the ‘[[Whimsicals]]’ and forge a civilization of order and devotion that cannot be broken.

-The prophecy is no longer a whisper in the dark, but rather a map. Guided by the careful eye of the [[Spawn of Chaddarus]], as foretold, our path is unerring. We do not guess. We do not hope. We execute a vision that was written before the first star was born.

 Now, we turn our gaze toward the Welmet and the soft, drifting realms beyond. They will see our Dark Messiah hurtling through the Aether and they will call it the end. They are correct. It is the end of their era of accidents.

   * **[[Steve McSword]]** - An ancient Shadar-Kai marshall who managed to stop the murderous wishes of the Shadowfell Warlords. Founder of Flaygallows, and barrister at the Flaygallows war crimes trials.
   * **General Morvax Umbrahand** - An ancient pre-Sundering Shadowfell Warlord who led the attack on the Feywild and later the Prime Material Plane. He is known for his wandering [[Tower of Death]] and the fact that he wielded the blade Vesperfang, created by the Raven Queen before she went mad.
+  * **Solon the Wretched** - Another ancient pre-Sundering Shadowfell Warlord known for his floating throne and the deadly magic it projects.
   * **[[ashriel|Ashriel the Mourning Saint]]** -  A Daeva known in pre-Sundering times as as a Messianic Prophet. He joined the forces of the [[shadowfell arises|Shadowfell Fascists]] becoming one of their most powerful generals.  The Shadowfell Warlords praised his work crushing the peoples of the Feywild and his attacks against the civilized folk of the Prime Material Planes. A war criminal sentenced to the Vault of Regret for eternity, he recently escaped and now leads the Shadowfell Fascists to reshape the Aetherverse in the name of his cause.

+  * **Vesperfang** - This magic weapon, once weilded by General Morax Umbrahand was thought lost until it reappeared in the hands of [[Kairon]] and was recovered by Dane Shadowstrike before he disappeared.
+  * **Delphi** - A long, lost shard left floating in the province of [[The Blight]]. It was believed that this was the site created by the Demiurge to entertain the requests of the forces of the outer planes. In this case, particularly that of the [[shadowfell arises|Shadowfell Fascists]].

   * The Homeshard Heroes have traveled to province of [[The Blight]] to scout on the state of the [[Dark Messiah]].
+  * As the episode starts, the group is hit by a plot cannon and their ship is reduced to rubble. They are forced to crash-land on a shard in The Blight they later realize is named Delphi.
+  * They first visit the caverns that hold the Confessionals of the Demiurge. There they communicate with the Primordial Speech that is written on the walls.
+  * Inside the Confessionals, Ace meets [[Forsooth]] a being of rock that looks very much like [[Klast]].
+  * Forsooth explains that they are a "sliver" of the long destroyed [[Demiurge]]. They confirm that the [[Sundering]] was caused by an attack on Ao, and that the Demiurge allowed it to happen in order to experience mortality for itself.
+  * Forsooth explains that the shard of Delphi was meant as a way for at least one of the delegations from the Outer Planes (in this case the Shadowfell Fascists' infernal interlocutors) to meet with Ao.
+  * The Homeshard Heroes investigate the Planetarium of the Demiurge. It featured a titanic throne. The Homeshard Heroes entertain some theories about the piles of natural rock that is strewn about.
+  * Finally, the Homeshard Heroes visit the Crucible of the Demiurge where they find some clues that perhaps [[Gamma Co]] has visited and stolen some secrets of the universe that could potentially be used for a weapon of some sort.
+  * They are attacked by a voidship sent from the Dark Messiah filled with undead followers and fascist operatives. They are led by the warlord Solon the Wretched on his floating throne supported by [[dane|Dane Shadowstrike]] who continually does his best to taunt and confront Yuna.
+  * Forsooth is nearly taken by the fascists. They learn that "slivers" like Forsooth are unable to be scryed and are of value to the operation of a cobbled-together Demiurge monster like the Dark Messiah.
+  * The heroes manage to save Forsooth and fight their way onto the fascists' ship to steal it.
+  * As Dane is struck down, the undead curse is lifted and there is a sweet moment where Yuna learns truly what she meant to her colleague Dane before he slips away forever.
