===== Major Plot Points =====

  * Everyone received a message to meet a person someplace or they'd be killed. It was from Mr. Blue , who gives the Homeshard Heroes the task of investigating Empire activity on Riya. Figured it would be of equal interest to both parties. On arriving, they found a secret research facility (after stumbling into a zombie mound). 
  * Gutboy tripped over his own feet and woke a bunch of zombies and a zombie mound. They were just, you know, there. 
  * They met a dwarf cleric named Wendy who sheltered them in a cave from a dangerous solar flare. Turns out she was the goddess Aurora.
    * She appeared as a dwarf cleric
    * The Dragon was Aurora’s child and was awakened early and never meant to attack us, Aurora was big mad. 
    * Aurora wouldn't say the name of Dagon (Klarna's demon patron)
  * The group found a great deal of information on the Empire's activities!
    * The Empire if Blossoms is using magic to trap gods in jars.  
    * They have the blueprints for the myriad drive and The Lady
    * The facility is a mining facility drilling to the center of Riya to extract the divine ash used to maintain the Empire Eladrins' immortality when away from their own kingdom. 
    * They created another version of The Lady called The Gentleman. 
    * They are trying to capture the goddess Aurora, last seen on Riya.
  * In their investigations they also learned:
    * The Lady is a goddess, and the Empire created another version, called the Gentleman.
    * The Gentleman was made from the chaotic good god Corellon Larethian. God of elves and magic. 
    * The Lady used to be one of the most powerful gods in existence and had control over all the voidgates, travel between planes, everything. Afterwards, Baila spoke with The Lady and discovered she is a fragment of the goddess The Lady of Pain.
    * Gods trapped in jars are being used to power things, and some of them are dying
    * The Heroes freed The Gentleman, who then helped return Cosimo the Cunning to her own plane of existence.
    * The zombies explode when they die? re-die? (ew)
  * Cosimo the Cunning arrived, tyring to drag Val back to his conquered home. But Baila released Corellon, who stopped her and banished her back to where she came from. 
  * They destroyed the ash mining operation/drill


  * All notes, books, documents, blueprints, and everything were collected and turned over to [[guinevere|Guinevere Fraoch]]. Anything they couldn't bring with, they burned. Guinevere was impressed and concerned. The phrase "we got gods comin' out of our arse" was uttered. 
    * They turned over: scouting reports for every shard from teh Empire, Evidence of the ash of Riya being used to power thier immortality, details on how and who the Lady is, details on the Empire trapping gods and people in jars, designs for the myriad drives

Lore Axe the Origin of Aurora
  * Klast sacrifices Keeka's ficus on the altar of knowledge to request the Origin of Aurora
  * A yin yang symbol sprouts and begins to turn from the roots, creating a porthole to look in to the history he seeks
  * He sees [[sundering|The Sundering]], and AO's fall. In that fall, he sees two godesses, rivals of light and shadow vying for control, striking into one another (Selune and Shar). And in The Sundering when so much was fractured and destroyed, the energy around these two goddesses was enough to merge them. As they stab each other in the heart, their bodies become intertwined. In their place a goddess of balance, neither good nor evil, is formed. Aurora awakens with intense purpose, alone on a shard in the Aether. One eye bright blue, one deep purple. The shards and the stars and night all bend to her will.
