There was a distress call as the heroes were on the way to another shard.
The call came from a tiny little shard with catacombs.
The call described a purple teifling and a human among the eladrin victims.
An empire ship is parked near these tunnels, and the Homeshard Heroes investigated it before proceeding.
From materials inside, they learned that there were some jars that were being created for certain “targets”
They also understood that they were siphoning energy for Albion and that something is wrong with the Emperor of Blossoms.
Reportedly the Emperor hasn't been seen in centuries only speaking through their proxies.
Slate's mining experience helped navigating through the half-collapsed pre-sundering ruins.
The first room had some Eladrin who were freed and take to safety.
Deeper within the cave complex the heroes encountered more Eladrin who were trapped behind a collapse and were lost.
Some of those individuals were known to Vicurian.
The party was attacked by Selina the Lich supported by Caelus and Mac.
Selina commands the Cult of Cyric.
These forces of Cyric are joined by a giant chompy, a skeletal butler, and a giant bug called a Toxikreen.
Cyric hunts for a powerful artifact called the Cyrinishad with the help of a lich named Selina in the hopes of once again vying for position as Overgod just as he did many thousands of years ago.
Specifically, Selina is helping the Empire with the research of “jarring” gods.
Selina has access to Divine Ash found on the Frost Shepherds.
The Homeshard Heroes attacked this group, and were overmatched barely escaping with their lives.
