Cataclysm

The final battle began with these words&hellip;

"You've grown in power, my Archons of the Way, but not in wisdom. You have listened to the Book's whispers and succumbed to its temptations. Now it has led you to this end: the students challenge the master, and the Book laughs at us all. There is nothing left but to settle this revolt. Shall we?"

The battle raged on for days. The Archons called on all the knowledge the Book had given them, while Geraine relied on the arcane skills he had amassed over the millennia. Neither side yielded any ground to the other.

In desperation, the Archons called on the darkest power of the Book&hellip;

&hellip;and were consumed by it.

The Archons have lost their battle.

But the war is not over.
