The following morning proved quite busy for The Heroes of Thylea.

The day began quite early for Tryntia. Before the crack of dawn she sent Unknown to scout out the underwater section of the relay hoping that his aquatically adapted eyes would spot some sort of advantage. And so it was as he discovered a strong current that went downwards, through a wrecked ship and up away. While examining this he caught glimpse of something large and tentacly like for a split second but decided to withdraw and report back to TryntiaRekken dreamed that he was flying higher than the clouds themselves before being awakened by the light patter of Hearty, Serafina 's pseudodragon looking at him with affection. Serafina followed in soon after to apologize for the little rascal and the two ended up having a chat about what awaited them next. Eurytus woke in a dream world made of fire, his every synapse screaming in pain. He was able to master himself and realize there was another figure close to him, a woman made of fire. Quickly using his power to shield them both from the fire by surrounding them with water he was shocked to see that he recognized the figure, it being now other than Chalcia The First, seemingly driven mad by pain.She asked for help before the fire broke in and Eurytus awoke. Euryale woke up surrounded by luxury and was confronted by her husband, Sullas. He had inquired about her with Versi, the Oracle and as such had found out more about her past life. Seeing as it was her birthday, he gifted a periapt with her family's motto on it. Sullas now knew that Euryale was a Sideris and while he was persuaded to stop digging he also knows the location of the Sideris estate. Aella, The Whirlwind slept til late. And most dramatically, Praxos was assaulted by an assassin.In his dreams, he was forewarned by Mytros and was able to defend himself admirably even though he was unarmoured. Alas, the assassin had a powerful poison on his blade and was able to barely overwhelm Praxos Thankfully, by striking another during a time when an Oath of Peace held the city, the would be assassin was grabbed, judged and sent to eternal exile by the  Furies. One of them seemed to know about Praxos 's deeds from what she said before she departed.

The team met up and after sharing the events of the day went to take part with the The Great GamesPraxos gets a gift from Vallus. a magical bow. Ultros leaves an heads to The Island of Yonder, the last known location of the missing gear of the Antikythera.

Orrin  had a way with words and his leadership brought much support to the Dragonlord's side when they first came to Thylea. His most notable achievement was his walking into the settlement that is now The City of Mytros and simply convincing them to join on their side of the war.

He was also the author of several of the books and plays that describe the time of the first war

"Look at those stars, scattered across the zenith of the sky.  That's the constellation of The Chariot, which represents Vallus, the Goddess of Wisdom."

"There was once a young priest who travelled all the lands of Thylea, seeking out tomes and texts to bring back to the great library in the The Temple of the Five in The City of Mytros.  He spent decades on his quest until, on one of his journeys, he met a beautiful sorceress.

The sorceress made him an offer: marry her, and she would use her power to summon every book ever written onto the shelves of his library.  The young man refused her.  The journey to obtain knowledge, he said, was just as important as the knowledge itself.

The sorceress revealed herself as Vallus.  She placed her hands upon the priest's eyes, and forever afterwards, he could read books in every language - even those long forgotten.  This was a most beautiful gift from the goddess to her most loyal servant."

Having lost their mounts, the Dragonlords commissioned a fleet of warships and took to the seas. The greatest of these ships was called the Ultros, captained by one Estor Arkelander. The Heroes of Thylea were able to reclaim it from the undead Estor Arkelander and it has now been fully repaired in the docks of The City of Mytros. It is the mobile headquarters of the heroes.

My dragon has abandoned me. She had not the courage nor the fortitude to do what must be done to secure these lands for the future of the civilized peoples of Thylea. Her cowardice will be forever remembered in the histories that we record. But it matters not. I don't need her anymore for now I have the Ultros. Now that the mainland is secure this mighty vessel will be the instrument from which I bring death and defeat to the savages that dwell on the islands of the Cerulean Gulf and the Forgotten Sea. I will be remembered as the greatest of all the Dragonlords. Greater than the simpering fool Xander. Greater than even my brother the king. Soon even the Titans will tremble at the mention of my name. I will live forever…

I have gathered a group of the greatest fighters, sailors, and warriors Thylea has ever seen. I have made them my Thanes and they will crew this great vessel. 200 of the deadliest men and women this land has known will set sail on the morrow and the islands will be bathed in the blood of our enemies. Glory and immortality await! We have been at sea for ten days. The impotent mad Titan of the Sea, Sydon has thrown everything against us and still the Ultros sails on. He has smashed us with 100-foot-tall waves and tried to drag us to the bottom of the sea with whirl pools. He has assaulted us with hurricanes and cyclones yet still we move towards our destiny. I would pay any price to see the look on his face as our ship continues to sail past all obstacles he places before us. Surely, he must know fear now that he knows nothing can stop me.

The Gygan Stronghold on the Island of Yonder has been put to the sword and cleansed with flame. The strength of the Gygans is forever broken. Indeed, if any gygan still draws breath in all Thylea they must know that their race is ended. And they must know that it was I, Estor Arkelander that was the architect of their doom. I can still hear the screaming of their children and the lamentation of their woman as we drove them before us. But being an island, they had nowhere to flee. Even now my men celebrate their mighty victory while their blood dries on our blades. This is what it means to be alive! Tomorrow we begin the utter destruction of all temples and shrines to Sydon on this cursed island. I hope every idol we smash to dust is like a knife in his eye.

[SEVERAL ENTRIES LATER]

It's not enough! The infestation is too deep. I could live 5 lifetimes and not have enough time to rid this land of the filth that inhabits it. There are too many islands. Too many hidden and secret places for them to cower in. I once thought to become immortal by deeds. To be remembered forever as the mightiest warrior in all the world. But now I see that for me to carry out my mission I must find a way to have more time. I have learned things. Things that no mortal has known. In my dreams this knowledge has come to me. I know there is a way for a mortal to become like a god. I will find it. For whom could possibly stand in my way.

Finally, she has revealed herself to me. She comes to me in my dreams. Lutheria, Mistress of Death. She begs me to spare her children! The goddess begs me! A man! The Titans see it now. They see that I cannot be stopped. She says she has an offer for me. Something that only she can give me that I desperately wont. It is obviously a trap but what can she possibly do? She is powerless while I am aboard this vessel. Not even her brother's power could touch the Ultros. Even the Goddess of Death cannot harm me here. This is what I've been waiting for! Eternity is finally within my grasp. Lutheria came to me on her hands and knees, naked and weeping. Beautiful and terrible. I have power over Death herself! She offered this oath: If I swear to end the massacres against her children, she will give my crew and I eternal life by ritual magic. The ritual itself is simple but bloody. My men will understand once they have life everlasting at my side. Tomorrow a new god is born, Estor, God of Thylea.
