6.01A - Cloudbourne Protection

Anneleigh walked through the quiet village until she came to Kain’s command at the far end of the settlement.  Though she was shivering with the cold and blowing snow, she remained out in the open to observe.  Kain was in conversation with his soldiers and she did not want him to see her in cover and think she eavesdropped on a private conversation.

“The work you’ve been doing here has not gone unnoticed.  Cyril himself has sent commendations, but I’ll dispense with the pleasantries.”

6.00A - Iron Pine Peak Story Summary

This post will chronicle the story of Anneleigh as she travels through Iron Pine Peak, helping citizens, Kain, and the Icewatch.

Although the Iron Pine Peak story starts at the Chancel of Labours, I've chosen to begin Anneleigh's journey at Whitefall, opting to hold the Chancel story until it fits within the timeline at a later point.

Below, you will find a listing of each story, a short outline of that weeks post, as well as significant story moments and characters.

1.02G - The Relics

Gwenllian returned to Talvar, unsure if she found any information that the council would think useful.  When she entered the house she found the room a buzz with planning and excitement.

“We’ve got our first lead, Linny.” Hartigan said.  “The local wildlife has been turning up dead, tainted by planar energy.  Garret just returned from a hunting trip to the coast.  Tell her what you told us, Garret.”

“The Azure Blade has landed on the shores to the south!” said the large dwarf to her right.  She thinks back, trying to remember Garret from her memory but decides this must be the first time they’ve met.   She smiles at him, trying to work up the same level of excitement he was showing.

“Who are the Azure Blades?”  Gwenllian asked.

5.08A - Kain's Mission Complete

Anneleigh crouched beside the shaken prisoner.  He groaned and then looks up to see her.

“What.... What happened?”

“I believe Doctor Visek had kidnapped you and created his vessel around you.”

The prisoner cried out, not in pain but in distress.  “I remember now, yes.”  He puts his head in his hands and shakes his head.  The movement gives Anneleigh the impression of he is trying to shake off a horrible memory.  “I was the vessel; the souls of others have been trapped with me.  The shell of the gnarlbone was only an exterior.”

5.08A - Doctor Visek

Carwin and Anneleigh agreed; there was no time to waste in ridding Scarwood reach of Doctor Visek.  Hoping that Marshal Kain would understand, she disregarded the order to proceed to Camp Cestus and made her way to the Barricade in Shatterbone Canyon.

She found Dame Levitia Volya already stationed in barricade’s command.

“I’ve been sent to kill Doctor Visek.”  Anneleigh said to the commander, who was clearly not expecting her.

1.01G - Returning to Three Springs.

“Gwenllian, A message from Borrin Gammult .” A messenger said to the young dwarf as he handed her a letter.

“Did he what this was about?” she asked, as she tied her long brown hair out of her face and ripped open the letter.

“No, miss, just asked me to deliver this to you.”

Written on the notice, in large, but tidy, handwriting, were the words “Three Springs sends word. Go to Talvar as soon as you can.”

1.00G - Gwenllian's Tale: Story Summary

Gwenllian's tale will be told in a slightly different way than Anneleigh's.  Her story will take place in two, relatively long, parts, rather than segmented by zones I have done with the travels of the high elves.  I am also completing her quests as a level 50, and will more easily have access to story elements like chronicles and raid instances.

As with Anneleigh's story, the following post is the highlights of Gwenllian's journey.
