==='''<font color=red>CURRENT</font>''' '''''04/15/08 & end of Chapter 45''''' === : '''13th''' :: Kyuad learns of a possible plan of the Arrows who may be splitting at the Bloody Tower to move both to '''Gasterfang''' and '''the Scar'''. This plot is noted by the High Captain who seeks the "weapon" the elves carry on his "'''''Plague Quest'''''". :: As Durgaz and Eranon search for clues and info in visions and communes, the elf (Zal'Kazzir?) seeks advice from the '''Witch Queen''' on what to do about the '''Bloodguard''', '''Anaximath''' and the '''Arrows'''. :: The '''High Captain of the Bloodguard''' negotiates with Kyuad (whom he believes to be the Lord of House Gyrn) to allow his men refuge from the open tundra for the night... :: After Midnight, in the morning of Bimba, the '''Bloodguard''' of Steel Hill ride on Crystal Keep... : '''11-12th''' :: Returning to Crystal Keep in hopes Dierro and his forces will not be able to track/find them, the pathwalkers discuss current needs: ::: Should Zal'Kazzir be returned to the living if it is possible through the magics of the Elven staff? ::: With the revelation of Ahemia being with child, what is the baby? An examination is needed... :: Eranon, with Kyuad's direction, examines Ahemia. The child is not "evil" as the magics tell them, and Durgaz learns that she is with twins! :: Following Kyuad seeking out Zal'Kazzir in the "Gray Realms", the group uses a spell of Reincarnate to conjure a new body for their old friend Zal'Kazzir to inhabit. Hopefully free of the demon beast that he had become... If this is Zal... he has returned as an Elf... Cairnsil : '''11th''' :: On the morning the pathwalkers leave Crystal Keep, they make their way toward the Bloody Tower to the North-East. Only a quarter days travel out - Kyuad, Durgaz and Eranon (to his surprise) spring the trap laid for Zal'Kazzir. The execution of Zal'Kazzir Ghulvenne takes place. :: As their "friend" falls into peddles of roses on the ground (a halmark of his demoic nature) the calling card left days ago comes. Dierro has brought a dragon, and it is on the wind coming to intercept the pathwalkers, now down a warrior and resources spent from the execution... They run! As they do so Durgaz captures and kills Dierro's asterax tracker (Neega) by driving him into the ground at terminal velocity... : '''9-10th''' :: The group takes refuge at Crystal Keep, one of the fortfresses along the wall seperating the Cold Downs from the Weal in the Northern Marches. :: Kyuad faces a "wizard's dual" with Irding the monster duke of House Gyrn. Kyuad slays the beast. : '''9th''' :: After leaving the Corbron Isles (by way of Eranon's spell to change the group into gasseous clouds), the pathwalkers make their way into the high north, their trip takes winding through the province of the Black Mirrors of the Cold Downs... But there amid the endless tyga... from the sky a crate falls... Collune's severed head - a calling card from Dierro out of the Gray Realms. :: On this day Eranon has predicted that the beginning of a week to two week "astrological event" will begin. The skies will progressively grow darker. This darkness seems to be a magic fog making Darkvision function as Low-light vision and Low-light function as normal vision in the starless night... : '''8th''' :: At the other's approval Zal'Kazzir (Zael, prince among princes) calls to him the Succubus Vepheri whom he questions for knowledge of the area of the Cold Downs (Gasterfang's larger region). The demon-witch reluctantly gives the name of another demon that may know more. "the Just Advisor" is called, but not fully controlled... Appearing in the illusionary form of the Night King Ardherin, it toys with the pathwalkers providing little confusing informations. But Kyuad and Durgaz return the confusion attacking it with questions to learn that they've taken it off guard... Durgaz "sees" that Ardherin is actually nearby watching (perhaps speaking through the Outsider?) but soon leaves... The pathwalkers continue their planning. :: The group spends some time organizing and preparing to take the next leg of the journey north toward the Bloody Tower along the Fortress Wall below Gasterfang. They plan to take the Paths again, risking the dangers... :: Learning of the tragedy of First-Hold's murders, Walden and Khalim's family plan to begin travelling south toward First-Hold. Following their explanation of the events of the past months, Walden tells the patherwalkers that he will continue into Caradul to right what's wrong with Aradil... They plan to leave on the next ship south, this would have them arriving at First-Hold approximately ~17 days later (travelling ~12 days by ship, ~5 days by cart) : '''7th''' :: The pathwalkers arrive in the forest wood on the isle of Bildgewater, in the Corbron Isles. : '''6th''' :: Durgaz begins a meditation on the banks of the Pelluria, sitting alone for 24 hours. The others plan and prepare for the trip along the Paths of Dal Colia toward the Corbron Isles. :: Late in the evening the group travels the Paths of Dal Colia to the Pirate Isles. On the Paths Kyuad is struck by the Beast in the Black and loses memory of Zal'Kazzir, while the group is almost seen by the Shadow in the Black! : '''5th''' :: Zal returns to the rendezvous site with Durgaz. :: Kyuad and Kaiel arrive at the rendezvous site in the evening having ran from First-Hold nearly 26 hours straight. : '''4th''' :: With the aid of his faithful companion, Belal, Zal is saved from sure death at the hands of the powers that be of the Bluff. And he is reunited with the Lady Ahemia in his sisters cottage amid the Bluff. They ride out under cover of the Shadow Hour at Midnight. :: Eranon reunites with Zal'Kazzir and Ahemia at the rendezvous site as planned from the Paths of Dal Colia - thought Durgaz is nowhere yet to be seen. :: Eranon rushes out to stalk Dahiran, Ahemia's Asterax cat - while Zal decides to leave to intercept Durgaz, who he's heard rumor of from Belal's info gathering from the Bluff. : '''3rd''' :: Zal'Kazzir finds his way back along the southern shore of the Pelluria, soon making his way to Baden's Bluff. Trying to find entrance into the Bluff's Quarrie district from the sea atop his nightmare steed, Vishmala, he attracts the attention of the Bluff's Drake - Zaindal... In a fierce attack Zaindal is shredded and strewn across the Quarrie cliffs as all of Baden's Bluff experiences the shocks of the arythquake resulting. Zal falls unconscious from the strain of the battle and crash into the sea, before he can see the result. :: Kyuad leaves First-Hold for the rendezvous site. : '''1st''' :: Eranon finds himself beneath Aryth, having "fallen" out of the Paths of Dal Colia inside the Salt Mines of Aarl. He quickly finds his way out but not before his new friend and companion, Kethrial, gives her life for his defending him from salt-water logged "Brine Fell". :: Durgaz finds himself backdated in time within the Emerald Tears of the Trollskarl. When he leaves the wood, he travels nearly two days south-east before heading back toward the rendezvous site near the Bluff. ====Arc of SENNEACH, LA 100 ''(summer)''==== 4.

Believing the Cadaverous Eye has caused strange phenomenon, something he coins as a "necromental" rises from the ashes of the fallen graves of the shanty town below First-Hold. The combination of this necro-power and the earth elemental summoned days prior by Zal'Kazzir form this creature. But it is satiated somehow, not frenzying - the same is true of smaller creations called "grave or tomb motes". Following taking care of these beasts Kyuad comes to believe that it is he that holds back their evil hunger, the same hunger that his new friend Kaiel seems to be free of in his presence... :: The last morning of the Festivals, Zal'Kazzir opens the Paths of Dal Colia. He, Durgaz and Eranon walk the paths finding many treacherous points along the way. Zal nearly gets lost along the way and the group is separated as they jump from the Paths. : '''29th''' :: The Pathwalkers take the days following the battle to recuperate and plan their next moves, to save the world :: From out of the Green March as Sarcosan man, who had apparently fought alongside the Elves near the Rivers Fangs attached to Lord Liafan's men, Kaiel seeks out Kyaud - the center of a "storm" that calms his hunger. He is Fell, and he doesn't know it. :: Zal'Kazzir sends a dream vision to his father in Sharuun asking that they send a troop of Zal's men to First-Hold (this should take roughly 73 days) :::* '''27th-28th''': Zal'Kazzir, at the request of the pathwalkers, forms "[[Midnight The Council of Captains|The Council of Captains]] for First-Hold. Creating an election for the High Captaincy of First-Hold.

He wakes to tell the pathwalkers of these problems. :::: Meanwhile Durgaz begins speaking with his new command ([[Midnight the Black Masks|the Black Masks]]), sending 'the Four' out to track many of the deserters that have fled. :::: Eranon seeks out a new aid in the fight against the Shadow, with [[Midnight Eranon's Animal Companion|Anauil]] having died in the Battle for First-Hold.
