SotE Chapter 1 - The Adventurer’s Guild

3E482/09/23 - Gideon, hired by a caravan of farmers as security, picks up Kai Li as a hitchhiker on the road up to Rockham. Kai Li reveals the DoD notice to him, and he takes an interest in the artifact and agrees to help them out.
3E482/09/24 - As they’re traveling southeast to Rockham, Ingrid and Erna meet two farmers who ask them to help out with the case of a missing farmer, old man Treich. They discover that he was polymorphed into an Owlbear, and barely manage to put him down. The farmers give them shelter for the night as they recover from the fight.
3E482/09/25 - Gideon and Kai Li’s caravan is stopped by a group of bandits pretending to be city guards extorting them for money. After a fight breaks out, they manage to take down the bandit gang, other than their leader who escapes.
3E482/09/26 - It is the day of the Nosalia Fall Harvest Festival. In the morning, Werner reaches Rockham and sees Tasmyn being yelled at by a dwarven fisherwoman. He gets wrapped up in Tasmyn’s mission of figuring out how people including the woman’s husband have been going missing. After getting to know each other over a stakeout, they discover that her husband has been polymorphed into a purple wormling which has been stealing fish and eating people. They put him down, informing the lady of her husband’s fate, though she wasn’t that concerned about it. They head back to the Department of Dungeons and talk to the receptionist, just as Ingrid, Erna, Gideon, and Kai Li get there. After some talk of polymorphed animals and such, they all decide to make an impromptu team. The receptionist, Syndra, as well as Prof. Anxos, tell them to go oversee the festivities in outer westway. They head over there to watch over the festival and get to know each other, Kai Li even getting drunk on a beer fountain. A huge pumpkin orge disrupts the festival, and the party manages to take it down. Making their way back to the DoD with a barely conscious Kai Li, they meet Guildmaster Holroth and are accepted as an official team.
3E482/09/27 - In the morning, the party eats food with a hungover Kai Li, and they meet Meras of the Ivory Suns, a popular adventuring party in the region. They also see Prof. Anxos talking to a Knight of Gothwyn, and are to head to Gothwynburg for a rundown on the mission. At the castle, Sofia von Gothwyn alongside the Guildmaster give the three teams- Ivory Suns, TBD, and Team Rosé, the gist- They are to enter the ruins of an ancient Omniborn City of Varkaria and acquire a mythical time gear to bring back to Gothwynburg. The expedition is to begin in a few days. On their way back to the DoD, a sheep runs over to the party with a scroll of speak with animals. Ingrid casts the spell, and the sheep reveals himself to be a polymorphed elf, Finethir Shinehelle, Ingrid’s relative. He immediately outs Ingrid as a noble, and reveals to them that his apprentice Noke had polymorphed him into a sheep a year or so ago and is polymorphing people all over the place. The party encounters a half-orc named Guz alongside some polymorphed wolves and a bear, who demand the party give the sheep over. The party defends Finethir, taking down everyone but Guz, arresting him and taking him to Rockham Jail where they question him. Learning about Finethir’s mistreatment of his apprentice, they agree to help him if he rewards them and improves. That night, Werner secretly sends a letter to his family.
3E482/09/28 - The party travels to Finethir’s tower led by the sheep himself, where they are discovered sneaking around by polymorphed apes and Noke himself. They try to negotiate with Noke, but negotiations fall apart pretty quickly. A polymorphed bear bursts out of an outhouse at them, as combat begins. The party manages to take down his goons and bust down the doors to the treehouse, as Noke runs into his bedroom and polymorphs his bed into a Bed Wyrmling. As the fight gets tough, Noke is shot out of the sky and falls to the ground, barely alive. His wand of polymorph that he was using to cast the spell, overworked, fizzles out- Turning him into a blob. The party loots Finethir’s tower before restoring him to his elven form using the faulty wand. After he rewards them all with gear and knowledge, Ingrid turns Noke into a sheep, saving him from death.
3E482/10/01 - The three teams wake up and get ready for the expedition. Gabryel von Gothwyn appears to them for the first time, giving a speech about the goals of the expedition. The three teams alongside some Knights of Gothwyn and Gabryel head out of Rockham, traveling in a caravan of four wagons. That night, as they camp, Meras senses something wrong in their surroundings, but is not sure what. The party sneaks around Gothwyn’s wagon as he does not mingle in the camp. They see his time gear tattoo, but leave before they get discovered.
3E482/10/02 - Around mid-day, the caravan enters the foggy Rockholz, where the magical fog is overwhelming. They know the route, and manage to keep on track. That night, at the foggy campsite, they overhear Gabryel talking to one of his knights in celestial. Kai Li takes the form of the knight to talk a bit more with Gabryel before backing out of the conversation.
3E482/10/03 - In the morning, they reach the entrance into the ravine that houses the ruins of Varkaria. Werner gets a magic letter from his family, as they all head deeper into the ruin. After a rockfall, everyone gets split up. Ingrid, Werner, Kai Li, Meras, and Dagaek end up in a part of the ruin where they discover some loot but get ambushed by some needle bights. After reaching for a magic ring, a trap activates and Werner and Dagaek fall down a chasm, but are rescued. Erna, Gideon, Tasmyn, Lorndyr, and Sakii end up falling through an underground river into a temple ruin. After getting some loot and solving some puzzles, the grumpy crew manages to decode an ancient book of Omniborn Gods to solve a door puzzle. Leaving the temple into a secluded waterfall, they are attacked by water weirds but manage to deal with them. The parties all meet back up at a secondary base camp, continuing on with their own people. Meras gives Ingrid a sending stone to call for help if they need to. The party continues to explore the ruins, getting caught up in a gas trap room, solving puzzles, spotting shadows, picking up a rainbow skull, eventually ending up in a small alcove with a giant tree. The pond at the base of the tree houses the time gear, as they meet its guardian, a myconid named Galdip. Gothwyn shows up after the discussion, wounded. After an intense discussion about his goals, the party realizes that Gothwyn is a vampire, and Ingrid activates the sending stone for help. A difficult fight ensues. Erna eventually manages to shoot Gothwyn through the heart, turning the vampire into dust. However, time gets fuzzy, the party almost flash forwarding a few days of travel back as the universe adjusts to Gothwyn’s multiversal replacement.
3E482/10/06 - The party wakes up in their own beds at the DoD. After realizing what happened, they hear Gothwyn’s voice outside- He is talking to Holroth, Anxos, and Meras about the ‘failed’ expedition, and is leaving for the capital- Not before glancing at the party. Ingrid also realizes that the time gear is in her bag. The party discusses the possibilities of what just happened, and eventually decide to not tell anyone about the time gear and head to the College of Zaubarovia to research more on this. The party gets upgrades and buys more gear, and finally decides on a name- The Krono Krew. They head to Oli’s Bar to celebrate, when Kai Li hears a psionic voice from the rainbow skull they picked up at Varkaria. Back at the DoD, the party realizes that this is the skull of a demilich, who says the word ‘Gothwyn’.

SotE Chapter 2 - The Mage’s College

3E482/10/07 - On the road outside Rockham, the party thinks about what to do with the skull, eventually purchasing a chicken from a farmer to sacrifice to the skull. The skull asks for more souls. At night, the party sees fire up ahead- encountering a goliath raid on Fort Altenhügel led by a warrior named Nagal. Ingrid sees a familiar face, Paladin Sascha, who asks for help. After a huge fight in which a Hill Giant also shows up and multiple fireballs, the party manages to save the soldiers from certain death, taking down Nagal. The party stays at the Fort overnight, where it's revealed that the skull absorbed the souls of many of the fallen. The skull takes humanoid shape as the archfey lich Zuq’zeen. He thanks them for their help, and reveals what he knows about Gothwyn- he has the power of a time gear already, and is replaced by a different timeline version of him whenever he is killed. He promises many rewards to the party soon, but rewards Kai Li with a ring of spell storing immediately. He also reveals to everyone nonchalantly that Werner is a noble of House Gaten. After he leaves, the party has a discussion with Werner about his role as a spy working against Gothwyn.
3E482/10/08 - The party meets Paladin Sascha and Finethir outside the fort before leaving. Paladin Sascha agrees to keep their involvement on the down-low, other than mentioning it to the DoD. Finethir rewards them with a map of teleportation and some chronostone dust. Sascha tells them of the Ogolavi clan of Goliaths which is getting bolder. The party continues to travel ahead.
3E482/10/10 - They leave the Terrosi Grasslands, entering the Dwarven Highlands. Erna and Ingrid talk about how Erna isn’t connected to her dwarven roots at all.
3E482/10/12 - The party reaches Kystby around mid-day, a small village of hill dwarves and halflings. They head to a barrel-themed pub where Kai Li drinks dwarven liquor. Ingrid and Werner talk to a duergar named Grenthrum who agrees grumpily to upgrade their weapons if they can get him a ton of Aeterian Bronze from a nearby lake called Rustrest Lake, where a gigantic warforged fell long ago. It is owned by a college professor named Juniper. They head to the lake, and try to sneakily get the bronze without letting the owner know. They are ambushed by oozes led by a giant tarr named Gooka, who almost manages to take down Gideon. Juniper helps them out, but they manage to not let her know about the bronze they took. Back at the town at night, Grenthrum thanks them for the bronze, reawakening Werner’s Moonshade rapier and upgrading Ingrid’s spear into a halberd using the weapon she took from Nagal.
3E482/10/13 - In the morning, Gideon is plagued by a dream from the pure light about a darkness under Tromden. After a day of travel from Sanâdir, the party reaches Tromden by night. Walking through the city of spires, they head to Tromdenburg. They see an open manhole cover on the central bridge, but decide to leave that for later. At the castle, Erna pretends to have captured Ingrid. They meet Ingrid’s brothers, Roderick and Rolf of House Rennwald. After a long discussion, Erna gets paid while Ingrid catches Rolf on the time gear and Gothwyn situation personally. He agrees to not let their mother know, and lets her continue on her journey. He does warn her of the impending civil war. The party enjoys a lavish night at the castle for once.
3E482/10/14 - After saying goodbye to her brothers, Ingrid leaves the castle. Heading down the docks, the party sees a ship docked that has Blackreyne symbols. The party eventually manages to enter the sewers under the Once-Drowned Chapel. After some exploration, they see a Blackreyne Hunter named Heigall under attack by some dark aberrations who took over the bodies of the dock workers. They save him, and he reveals his mission of taking down a source of darkness under Tromden that could start another darkplague. He talks of his fallen partner. He talks to Gideon about an order of light worshipers called the Lightwatchers, as Gideon gains insight into the orb within his eye. They eventually head into the ruins under Tromden, coming onto an Abyss-Drowned Chapel in the shape of a skull. Gideon sees a flashback of this source of darkness being stormed by Lightbringers in the past, as a gigantic amalgamate of people, a Dark Abomination, attacks the party in the present day. After a hard fight in the darkness, Gideon’s light dispels the darkness and the party manages to take down the monster. Gideon is rewarded for this task by acquiring a Lightwatcher’s shield. The party uses Finethir’s Map to teleport back to Tromdenburg, where they rest for the night once more.
3E482/10/15 - After acquiring upgrades and gear from the city, the party purchases a wagon and two horses, heading out of the city towards Hyarat. While traveling north, they spot griffons flying overhead northward to the Chronostone Crags.
3E482/10/16 - They spot an overturned cart on the road, a traveler whose horse was attacked by griffons. They pick up the hitchhiker, a minotaur bard named Aselo from the Ashfall Isles. He connects with Tasmyn, and talks about gaining admission into the college via a benefactor named Stellern who has a hunting lodge up ahead in the Eulebärwald. He plays and sings songs from his homeland which are nostalgic for Tasmyn.
3E482/10/17 - In the evening, they enter the dark forest of the Eulebärwald beyond a danger sign.
3E482/10/18 - Camping at night, they see the remains of an older campfire from a few days ago. They spot a journal left behind with text written in Xiuhua, Kai Li’s language. She reads the journal, assuming it belongs to a monk who’s in search of a monastery nearby. Stellern is known to house and help foreigners for free, a philanthropist.
3E482/10/19 - The party reaches Stellern’s Hunting Lodge by midday, meeting Gustaf ‘Falcon’ Stellern and his daughter, Freja. He welcomes them to the lodge, and informs Kai Li that the monk Yi-Wen left early to meditate. As night falls, she isn’t back, so Freja and the party head out to find her. They spot her meditating by a pond and some snakes, where Kai Li returns her journal to her. She reveals that she’s headed to an air temple nearby called Aeplanera Monastery. As they reach the lodge, Gideon perceives something following them, as they are attacked by a pack of Zaubaraptors. The fight is difficult as Ingrid and Werner almost lose their lives, but they all manage to huddle inside and wait out the pack. They spend the night at the lodge.
3E482/10/20 - They leave the four at the lodge, gaining an ally in Falcon. They continue heading northward.
3E482/10/21 - They spot owlbear markings as they camp, but no signs of any more raptors.
3E482/10/23 - Leaving the Eulebärwald behind, the party finally reaches the city of Hyarat by night, the College of Zaubarovia looming above them. They take the cable car up while listening to the projection of the Archchancellor. Heading out into the courtyard, they get used to the College. Tasmyn and Erna head off to attend a guest lecture by Dr. Stali of the Lunar Skion Labs about Automaton Souls. Meanwhile, Ingrid leads the others into the Library of Oblivinus where everyone researches their own origins and topics. Ingrid runs into one of her old teachers, Prof. Azal, who scolds her over her usage of the halberd. He asks for a duel, and invites Werner as well. The party meets back up in the courtyard, and heads over to the Uhrwerk Conspectus. Prof. Quintorius lets them in, and they talk to Magister Uxius. After a while of explaining their situation to them, Uxius transports them to the Uhrwerk Bowels deep under the college, where they reveal themselves to be one of the guardians of the Time Gears, showing them Time Gear Gamma. They also learn that Gothwyn is coming in two days. Uxius gives them a free pass for rooms and other services. At night, Erna is called over to Magister Alfarihm’s office, where he catches up with her and gives her a new mission by Gothwyn- Kill Julian von Gaten. He also promises her a reward in the morning upon her hesitation.
3E482/10/24 - Tasmyn works in the rooms on Mysha and bakes all day, as Erna heads back to Alfarihm’s Office. It’s a cold and rainy day. She overhears him talking to an armored figure, but is spotted. Alfarihm introduces Qesrea and Erna to each other, and gives Erna a new heavy crossbow made in the college- The Comet Ballista. Erna heads back before anyone else wakes up, and has a talk with Ingrid. Ingrid and Werner with the rest as spectators head to the Schattenjäger Classroom where Prof. Azal is teaching. They have a Truel, in which the professor is extremely hard to beat. He eventually manages to take Werner out, but Ingrid and Werner together manage to just barely beat him before he calls it off. He asks the students about their observations, and tells them to rely on magic weapons less and for Ingrid to try out a new defensive fighting style. He also tells Werner to seek out a Drow professor named Urmene in the Wizzan Conspectus who can help. The party heads out, and spots Knights of Gothwyn entering the college at the courtyard, led by Preceptor Vollrath van Etamann. They introduce themselves and say Hi to the party almost immediately, asking them candidly whether they have the time gear. After a short interaction, they head off to set things up for Gabryel’s arrival. Ingrid runs over to the Uhrwerk Conspectus to warn Uxius, but Quintorius stops her, and lets her cast sending via scroll instead. Meanwhile, Erna asks Alfarihm about protection from scrying, and he sends her to one of the college shops where Erna gets a ring of mind shielding. Kai Li ‘buys’ two more while disguised as Magister Uxius. Heading to the Wizzan Conspectus, the party meets Prof. Urmene who has a summoned demon nearby. She tells Werner about Moonshade, and the fact that it is legendary and has thousands of souls within it. She also agrees to help Kai Li figure out her origin, summoning an Ulitharid for Kai Li to telepathically connect with. Kai Li receives visions of her past, the plane of madness, and other such eldritch beings- Before the Ulitharid breaks free of Urmene’s control. A quick and deadly fight ensues, during which the Ulitharid stuns everyone and manages to extract Gideon's brain before dying. The party is left in mourning, as Prof. Urmene gets a scroll of revivify and brings him back, telling him to rest. As everyone heads back to the rooms, Ingrid goes to meet Uxius and talks about Tempos, where they suggest she learn from spellbooks instead. Ingrid heads over to meet Professor Azal, and decides to forge a shield. He takes her to a spellsmith who helps her catch and forge lightning into a shield on the college rooftop.
3E482/10/25 - The next day, the meeting of Gabryel with all the Magisters and the Archchancellor begins. The party buys a Zaubarovian newspaper that has an article about Gothwyn’s visit to the college as well as the party’s heroics in helping the Blackreynes at Tromden. Meanwhile, Vollrath invites the Krono Krew to have some coffee at the Clifftop Café. The conversation is generally philosophical and into why each party does what they do, and doesn’t end up going anywhere. As they part ways, Gideon heads to Prof. Urmene to talk about yesterday as well as the Lightwatchers. They then hear that the Knights of Gothwyn are forcing themselves into the Uhrwerk Conspectus. As the party reaches, they see Quintorius on the ground, who tells them to head up to the clocktower where they mistakenly went searching for the time gear. The party heads up, and finally fights Vollrath in the clocktower mechanism. After a tough battle, they win, but are immediately contacted by Uxius who was followed into the Bowels by Gabyrel. They teleport there, and see Gabryel taking down and knocking out Uxius. After exchanging some talk, Gabyrel reveals that this version of him is cursed differently, transforming into a werewolf. He also killed the party at Varkaria in his timeline before being called to this one, except for Ingrid who was replaced by Edwin Lorentz in his timeline. Just as that happens, some Hounds of Tindalos appear, attracted to both Gabryel and Ingrid. They fight alongside Gabryel for a brief moment as they fight off the aberrations, but Kai Li reaches for and grabs the time gear. After the hounds are down, Gabryel immediately attacks them, almost taking all of them down. He knocks down Ingrid, taking her time gear and almost escaping with both the time gears. However, using Gideon’s command to stop him in his tracks, Erna shoots him with a silver ring, killing him for good once more. Time gets fuzzy for the party once more, as Uxius explains to them that they only lose a day this time. They see Qesrea take the time gear and take it to Alfarihm, losing it to a third party.
3E482/10/26 - As the party comes to, they discuss Alfarihm and Qesrea with Erna. They also look at the newspaper they got yesterday and realize that Gothwyn is now a woman- Gabryelle. They head back over to Uxius, who is very dejected. They finally tell them that a sort of race has begun, and that they should assume that the enemy has two time gears while they only have the one. They tell them to seek out the next time gear in the Underdark, in the Hourglass Caverns. The closest safe entrance would be the city of Vogh Vulfrhûn. They head over to Prof. Azal’s classroom to talk where they see him having a heated debate with his students on what could kill a werewolf. The party discusses their strategies, and decides to stay at the college for a week to study and recover. Ingrid studies under the Uhrwerk conspectus, while Werner takes paladin lessons from Prof. Azal.

SotE Chapter 3 - Under the Mountain

3E482/11/05 - The party finally says their farewells (for the time being) to their professors, heading out of the college. They take the lift down, silencing the Archchancellor’s projection once again, and take their horses from the stables. They teleport to Tromdenburg, where Ingrid meets Baranor, one of the Rennwald butlers. He asks for her to meet Rolf, but she just gives him the jist of things. Werner sends a letter back to his family via him, as they leave Tromden. The party plays a card game during which they catch Werner cheating as they travel. In the evening, they see smoke on the horizon, as they realize that Kystby has been under attack by the Ogolavi Goliaths. They spot a goliath searching for a dwarven child, and rush to protect her. They sneak into the city, and see a mound of corpses of people who fell defending the village. They see the raid leader, a necroshaman named Drjugrath, interrogate one of the captured dwarven civilians. When he doesn’t give the answers he is looking for, he ‘de-bones’ him and interrogates the skeleton instead by casting speak-with-dead. They are looking for Grenthrum, who ran off into the Underdark with something he made with the aeterian bronze the party stole for him. They also reveal that they work for someone called the ‘Verdant Fog’, which the party has conflicting information about. The nobles know him to be a goliath leader while Erna and Gideon know him to be a dwarven crime lord. The party intervenes, fighting off the goliaths alone this time and taking them down. The village celebrates them, and offers them lodgings for the night.
3E482/11/06 - The party continue on their travels leaving the village behind, and vow to send more help.
3E482/11/07 - The day before they reach Vulfrhûn, the party rests at a camp. Ingrid has a conversation with Meras using the sending stone. He also gives her some information about a miner’s strike happening in the city and reveals to her that he’s in Verstecktburg at the moment. Werner has a dream in which he meets a tiefling who reveals herself to be the next time gear guardian, but ends up having an argument with her in an underdark dreamscape. She claims that the only ones coming for this time gear are them and she doesn’t trust them. He wakes up and tells the rest about her.
3E482/11/08 - In the evening, they finally reach the city of Vogh Vulfrhûn. Heading through the surface town, they enter the gate and head into the Upperdome. They immediately meet some guards who take their horses to the stables and invite them to the throne itself since the King wants to see them. They are taken to King Baergrumm II, who has General Hanmaeth reward them for saving Kystby. They also meet sitting next to him Baron Tuvik Emeraldeye, who acts suspiciously when they mention the Verdant Fog. He asks for them to union-bust the miner’s strike going on at his mines below. He inquires about Erna's clan, to which she jokes that she’s from the same clan as him. The party leaves, and is given free rooms at the best high-end inn there. Werner has another dream, this time the dreamscape being a mixture of the underdark and the opera house back in Etabrück. This time their conversation is more civil, and she reveals that her name is Olzari, although it seems that she just made it up on the spot since she seemed to have forgotten her name. She also implies that she didn’t choose to be a guardian, and begins to gain some trust in the party.
3E482/11/09 - The party wakes up and discusses Olzari with Werner, before they head out to a magic shop in the Wolfrun Market called the Lightforge. They buy a lot of magic items in bulk, and then head out of the upper exit of the city into the Kosmosi Mountains. After some travel that exhausts Erna and Tasmyn with altitude sickness, they reach Aeplanera Monastery. They meet Yi-Wen again, who reveals that this is an air monastery. She introduces them to Master Molok, a goliath who is in charge of the monastery. After some talk with Kai Li about her background, he reveals to them his belief system of everything being a spirit and that her aberrant background not differing from genasi or aasimar. He reveals to them the spirit of this valley, a hundred-handed-giant. The giant spirit throws Kai Li a stone that enhances her sorcerous powers. Erna realizes that Alfarihm might have some ties to this place as an Air Genasi, but Molok has never heard of him. He sends them to another hut that takes a trek to get to where the oldest monk of the monastery lives. They reach the hut and steal weed from his garden, before being assaulted by Master Carlos, a ratfolk monk. He reveals to be a childhood friend of Alfarihm and tells them about his twisted desires and his heritage as the son of a Djinn. The party heads back to Vulfrhûn, reaching there late at night. Heading to a high end tavern called the Steel Fist, they see Lawkeeper Rynnis Frosteye with a colleague. Erna and Werner talk to her about Emeraldeye and the strike while the others get drunk. She seems concerned for them, but tells them of a dwarf who was talking of a conspiracy that the safety accident wasn’t an accident.
3E482/11/10 - Waking up, they head down the elevator through the Middleslab into the Lowerforge. Heading to the mines, they talk to the strike leader, a young woman named Bedda. She points out the dwarf Rynnis mentioned to them, a man named Navrus. He reveals to them that he thinks that his friend and the others who died in the flooding incident might’ve been murdered since they spotted Baron Emeraldeye with some suspicious drow and goliaths. He tells them to check out the mine for themselves. They head down to the unsafe mines, and decide to grab some potions of waterbreathing. As they head back up the elevators, they are attacked by dwarven assassins who tell them to stop looking into the Verdant Fog. After dealing with them, they capture one that they then interrogate in an alley. Taking him up to the Lawhall, the police tell them that they’ll send someone who can cast water breathing for them down in the mines, where they meet Polina, a cleric who works with the police. With her, they dive down into the flooded mines, discovering a dead bloated body as well as an entirely different flooded mine that is centuries older. They realize that assassins flooded the mine on purpose to kill the miners. Leaving the older mine through a trapdoor and heading back through the elevator for the third time, they bring out the dwarf’s drowned body and cast speak with dead. He tells them about what he saw that day at Baron Emeraldeye’s, about him ‘poisoning the city’ if he doesn’t get his way. New information in hand, they realize they need to go after Grenthrum before the Verdant Fog gets to him, and say goodbye to Polina, heading down into the Underdark through the Pit. Eventually going through the Dharklake, they make camp near a cliff. Erna and Gideon try to make small talk in the watch when they are ambushed by Ropers, who almost eat Kai Li. Meanwhile, Werner has another dream with Olzari, and finally manages to convince her to escape the duty of guardian and let them come to her.
3E482/11/11 - They manage to make it to the Myconid Colony where Grenthrum was last sighted, and talk to a friendly trader Myconid named Psiloma. They trade a lot of things with him, getting a corpse full of trinkets including infinite water as well as a boat. He tells them to sail down to Kidzulduhm. As they sail down the river, they see bodies strung up in the ceiling dressed to look like Ingrid and Werner. Putting them out of their misery and burying them, the party is shocked and talks about this and their goals. Eventually coming to a gate fort, they are attacked by the drow assassins that work with the Emerald Fog. They kill all of them except one, and string them up to the ceiling in front of the captured one, who is named Bakos. He confirms that Baron Emeraldeye is the Verdant Fog himself. After interrogating him, they decide to keep him as a hireling. They go to sleep in the river.
3E482/11/12 - They reach Kidzulduhm, heading right for Grenthrum’s house led by Bakos. Finding it already ransacked recently, Gideon spots a child spying on them. Controlling the child to talk to them, they convince him that they are friends of whoever is paying him. The child leads them to the villa of Gokir Myrkrdatter, who Ingrid recognises. Once she realizes that they are allies, she lets them inside and reveals Grenthrum hiding out in her workshop. He finally reveals what all this is about- an earth destroying superbomb called the World Cube. After a lot of moral discussions, the party decides to deal with the Baron once and for all. Gokir, Bakos, and Grenthrum head back to Vogh Vulfrhûn, while the party heads east into uncharted territory alone to get to the Hourglass Caverns. They camp at night in small claustrophobic caves, where Werner has a dream where Olzari shows him the Hourglass Temple. She tells him that she’s trying not to hope for the best, and warns them of potential dangers including sand worms, when Werner wakes up.
3E482/11/13 - The party wanders into some crystal caverns, where they discover a centuries old camp site. As this happens, they are ambushed by bright crystal golems. Taking quick care of them, Werner and Erna immediately go to loot a nearby chest. However, Kai Li and Ingrid hear voices in Celestial, as the golem bodies reform to create a divine golem, a Crystal Guardian. After a hard fought fight, they manage to take it down, and quickly leave the Crystal Caverns. They head right into the start of the Hourglass Caverns, and see the desert storm in front of them. They decide to camp for the night at the boundary here before they go on ahead. Werner has another dream with Olzari, as she is more than hopeful about him helping her at this point, and wishes him luck.
3E482/11/14 - The party sets out into the Hourglass Caverns with a plan in mind, and is immediately hit with the sandstorm. As they feel the purple worm approach after a few hours, they take to the skies, some levitating or flying and Werner levitating a blanket for him, Gideon, and Erna. However, the worm immediately targets him, swallowing him inside. The fight is tense with the worm appearing and disappearing from under the sand as Werner is digested. The worm almost gets Gideon, and does manage to eat Ingrid. However, after a tough fight, Ingrid and Werner do enough damage from the inside that they force the worm to regurgitate them out, as Tasmyn lands the finishing blow on it. Werner angrily carves out a piece from the worm for Gokir later, and they continue on their journey. He hears Olzari’s hopeful voice as they approach the temple, but they find her skeleton instead. Realizing that she is already dead, Werner approaches the time gear and has one final conversation with her as her skeleton turns to dust. Just as, Qesrea appears with three assassins behind Erna through a portal- Erna seems to have a magical tracker within her. She offers a 2v1 fight between her versus Ingrid and Erna, which they accept. The fight starts out in her favor, but between Erna stealing her potion, she quickly decides it's not worth it. Stealing Ingrid’s time gear, she teleports to her friends, when the rest of the party intervenes. Kai Li counterspells her plane shift, and Werner manages to knock out Qesrea just in time and take the time gear back before Qesrea’s companion teleports them away, leaving a single shadowblade behind who they quickly kill. The party teleports back to Vogh Vulfrhûn, heading down to the Lowerforge where they go to Gokir’s Oddities. Meeting back up with Gokir, Bakos, and Grenthrum- They discuss their plans and then spend the night forging new gear and reawakening Werner’s rapier.
3E482/11/15 - The party takes Grenthum and Bakos up to the Lawhall, leaving Gideon, Erna, and a tired Gokir behind for now. They give a full testimony to Rynnis and Polina, getting them on their side. However, Rynnis needs some time to gather enough loyal policemen to arrest Baron Emeraldeye, and suggests a distraction using Kai Li’s changeling abilities. Kai Li transforms into Mayjra, the drow priestess who led Bakos’ party. Those two infiltrate the Emeraldeye Estate, where they find the Baron talking to the Ogolavi Chief, Magan. After a tense conversation, Kai Li convinces the Baron that she has killed the Krono Krew, but apologizes for not finding Grenthrum. Bakos almost flubs it, but Kai Li calms everything down. She convinces the Baron to let her take most of her men out of the building. Meanwhile, Gideon and Erna meet up with General Hanmaeth and Polina with the gathered police force. Hamnaeth talks to Gideon about his past, and how this is a time to redeem himself. As Kai Li heads out with the men, Gideon and Erna show up with the police. They quickly take care of all the goons, and end up defeating Magan Ogolavi. However, when they do enough damage to Baron Emeraldeye, he breaks his ‘polymorph’, turning into a green mist and reverting to his true form, the green dragon Tulunvithar, who Gideon remembers a poem about. He starts to poison the city, as the Krono Krew reaches the amphitheater within the market square. They goad him into attacking them, and after a tough fight with multiple near deaths, Gideon ends up taking Tulunvithar down. As everyone cheers, that night Gideon reveals the truth of his origins to the party at the inn as they heal themselves. Kai Li doesn’t empathize, but accepts it. Ingrid and Gideon manage to remove the tracking lodestone from Erna, which they then mail around Terros for the future. Werner gets a letter from his mother demanding his return.
3E482/11/17 - After two days of rebuilding and picking up the pieces, everyone is gathered at the throne room to celebrate and reward the Krono Krew. King Baergrumm gives them all riches and rewards. General Hanmaeth gives Erna the Emeraldeye ring, a halfling from Sanâdir gives Kai Li a new staff of the four seasons, and Gokir gives Werner a dragonscale whetstone made from Tulunvithar’s body. Finethir is present, and promises Tasmyn that he has the blueprint for her compass. King Baergrumm then asks Ingrid what she wants, and she desires to serve the country. He then proceeds to knight her, giving her the title of ‘Dame Ingrid, Knight of the Roaring Storm’. Preceptor Stella Di Silvestri of the Knights of Gothwyn is present, and hands Gideon the deed to Fort Altenhügel, henceforth known as Fort Huxley. She says that this is a truce offering from Gabryelle, and proclaims Gideon to be ‘Baron Gideon’ now. They discuss that it can be a new branch of the Department of Dungeons. Hanmaeth asks the Krono Krew to help in rounding up and pushing back on the remnants of the Ogolavi clan. Ingrid and Erna decide to help out, while Gideon and Tasmyn decide to fix up the fort. As they leave the city, they see the sunlight for the first time in weeks, as it begins to snow. Werner and Kai Li leave together to Etabrück, from where Kai Li leaves further back to Eteru, promising to return.

SotE Chapter 4 - The Shatterworld Tournament

3E483/01/08 - Erna receives a hatchling Griffon from Prof. Skarmour, and ends up naming her Grumpy.
3E483/01/25 - Kai Li reaches her old monastery.
3E483/09/26 - Ingrid, Erna, and Meras manage to take down the new leader of the Ogolavi Clan, forcing his surrender and ending the Ogolavi threat. Ingrid is heavily hurt, but receives his belt of Fire Giant strength as a trophy.
3E483/12/05 - On the day of the Riversong Resonance festival in the city of Etabrück, the Krono Krew come back together to rescue Werner from Arxbrück Castle. They discuss politics and the current state of things with his mother, Duchess Iôlwen von Gaten. She reveals that Julian’s brother Sören has been spying on Duchess Innes at the capital city of Timeron while studying at the Hall of Harmony. They ask for her to not try to kill Innes, and she asks them to go talk to King Renaer Aldriglød and convince him to attend the Grand Wedding held at the capital in a month’s time. Having his enemy there would prompt Gothwyn to get reckless and reveal their true self. They agree, but she doesn’t let Werner go with them. They all eventually manage to convince her to let Werner rejoin the party, but only on the condition that he agrees to marry Princess Sloe Sombra of the Crimson Empire for a political alliance. The party then catches up and goes to celebrate in the festival, where Kai Li looks at a menagerie of exotic animals, Erna and Ingrid buy ceremonial hammers, and the entire party gets their fortunes read by a Tabaxi fortuneteller. The party then plays a drinking game with hard liquor, which Ingrid barely wins. The party then rested the night at Arxbrück Castle.
3E483/12/06 - In the morning, they use the map to teleport to Fort Huxley. They meet all the members that work there as well as Tasmyn, and Erna introduces Werner to Grumpy. They discuss their earnings and future plans, as well as what they’ve been up to in the timeskip. Everything seems to be converging at the capital. Gideon asks Eryka Amberberry what the quickest route to Aldrigvinter would be, and she says that teleporting to Hyarat and taking a ship through the icy ocean would be faster but not safer. They choose that option, and stock up on supplies. That night, Ingrid and Kai Li seem to have a shared dream of the plane of Tindalos. They see corpses of goliaths and monks alike, and sense a time gear under Timeron. They then see a flash of Orr’eeyar.
3E483/12/07 - In the early morning, Ingrid wakes up to Kai Li taking out the time gear from her bag, who apparently sleepwalked into the state. After some misunderstandings with the others when they see the two in Ingrid’s room, they all have a serious discussion about the time gears and the monoliths. Eryka hands Werner a postcard from his father who is still in Kasaaq. Gideon prays for guidance about the darkness of the monoliths and the time gear, and they all set out for the adventure. Teleporting to Hyarat Docks, they ask around but find no one willing to sail up north in this winter. Erna finds a bakery she used to steal from as a kid, and buys bread for everyone with her own money. In a tavern, Werner eventually located Captain Jahaesko, who has some business in Uppborg and willing to drop them off at Aldrigvinter. After some negotiations, they land on 1250 gold and set out. He introduces them to his first mate Ingfrid, who Erna takes a liking to. Werner doesn’t take well to the choppy seas, getting sick. That night, Erna sneaks down to their cargo hold and sees a mysterious locked crate that has a magical trap on it. Stealing some ale, she spends some time talking to Ingrid on the top deck while they watch an aurora.
3E483/12/08 - The next day is spent mostly through storms and harsh seas. After a particularly harsh storm, they all get attacked by a group of White Reaper Crabs that immediately drag a bunch of people underwater. A gigantic iceberg sized crab lord also shows up, making matters worse. After some good thinking and Erna summoning Grumpy, they all manage to take down the crabs with only two crewmembers down.
3E483/12/13 - The day before they reach Uppborg, the crew overhears Jahaesko and Ingfrid argue. Busting into his office, they make them reveal their smuggling operation and deal with the Lunars in Uppborg. They decide to help out and interfere if the need be. That night, the party sneaks into the cargo hold and unlocks the magically locked crate without triggering the trap. They see the Abysscube, which nearly charms Ingrid. They decide to lock it away again and see how things play out.
3E483/12/14 - In the morning, they reach Uppborg and follow Jahaesko to the Lunar warehouse. The deal goes well with the scientist Dr. Viktyr and Ritsin, until the abysscube charms nearly everyone. Ingfrid shoots Viktyr in the head and kills him, as Erna breaks into the warehouse in the charm. In the ensuing chaos, Ingrid accidentally blows up the entire warehouse full of gunpowder using a fireball, nearly killing Ingfrid. Kai Li, in disguise as Alfarihm, scares Ritsin as they take the money and run back to the ship, sailing out of the harbor and onto Aldrigvinter.
3E483/12/15 - They plan out what to say to King Renaer and their arguments against the war.
3E483/12/16 - Reaching Aldrigvinter around 3 PM, they say their farewells to Jahaesko and Ingfrid. The city is decorated for Vakosi Arcanos (the holy day of Varkanus during which all mages are stronger) soon, and they head into Castle Fyrst. At a meeting room, they meet Ser Gerion Ulfheart, one of the most important generals in the Førish military and one of Ingrid’s mother’s main rivals. He greets them and talks about Ingrid and Erna’s takedown of the Ogolavi Clan. When King Renaer enters with a book in his hand, he has a civil conversation about his reasons for wanting independence. They eventually end up telling the full truth about Gothwyn and the time gears to him and Ser Gerion, which makes them reconsider and try to call off the war. However, he’s already made alliances and set things in motion that he can’t easily undo, such as an alliance with JIIK HAN, the ruler of Shatterrealm. Alfarihm helped him make this contract. He asks for their help in calling it off, but shadows fill the room and they are attacked by vampires from Shatterrealm. The vampires avoid Gideon until he uses light magic.
3E483/12/17 - The next morning, some of the party does some research into Shatterrealm and Jiik Han, while Erna and Werner get supplies. They all meet up in front of a portal crystal, and alongside Ser Gerion and King Renaer, they head into Shatterrealm, and start walking towards a city on the horizon. Renaer is worried about what Varkosi Arcanos might bring tomorrow. As they make their way into Zeskahn city, they are ambushed by a gang that they quickly take care of in the market. In the throne room of Khaz Jiik Han, he offers Renaer a way out- win in the Shatterworld tournament tomorrow. Alfarihm is there as well alongside Qesrea, and threatens to kill the party. Zuq’zeen suddenly interjects out of nowhere, and sponsors the party in the tournament. He later reveals to the party everything that’s going on as well as his role as protector of Primerealm. The party shops for magical items and potions in the Shatterrealm markets.
3E483/12/18 - On the day of Varkosi Arcanos, the first round of the Shatterworld Tournament begins. Erna and Qesrea face off against Durandal and Doomblade, and manage to win without killing anyone. Werner and Kai-Li face off against Yatra and Blazar. Yatra kills both of them, but Kai Li’s revival of Werner comes in clutch and he barely wins the fight after Blazar’s forfeit. Ingrid and Renaer face off against Meurig and Kuu. Kuu kills Renaer who is later revived, but eventually Ingrid defeats him, sparing both of them. Gerion & Gideon face off against Vasirr and Siceois. The fight goes on for a while until Vasirr realizes that this is wasting Primerealm resources, calling off the fight and having a conversation with the new party. As round 2 begins, Ser Gerion and Renaer win their match. Zuq’zeen, Gideon, and Kai-Li face off against Xephak, Ophelia, and Izana. The fight is pretty evenly matched, and at one point Xephak transports everyone into his demiplane. After Gideon kills him, the others forfeit. Erna, Ingrid, and Werner face off against Alfarihm, Qesrea, and Ceolmaer. After some words are exchanged, the fight begins and Alfarihm instantly calls down a meteor swarm. Alfarihm chooses not to disintegrate Erna. Ingrid ends up killing Qesrea, and Erna convinces Ceolmaer to forfeit and escape Alfarihm. Eventually, Ingrid casts earthbind on him, setting up Erna to finally kill him. They take his magical items, and end up having a conversation with Ceolmaer where he reveals that Alfarihm gave the time gear to Gothwyn. Khaz Jiik Han jumps into the ring, and challenges the remaining primerealm fighters directly in a final Round 3. The fight is difficult, with most of the fighters not managing to beat out their fear of him for a while, until Ser Gerion’s aura helps them. Jiik Han used a lot of ki attacks alongside his legendary spear, Krajul. At one point, he punched up Ingrid into the air and slammed her back down into a crater. He kills werner with a ki beam, and Renaer is given a potion by Erna despite him only managing to make a few attacks on Jiik Han. Ingrid blocks all of Jiik Han’s attacks at one point, and eventually manages to get the kill on him, slamming him down into the same crater as before. Zuq’zeen revives Werner and sends out a big proclamation to Shatterrealm to choose their next emperor next year, and that they are forbidden from trying to conquer Primerealm for another century. They teleport back to Castle Fyrst back in Abmarah after taking Jiik Han’s spear and cape. Renaer is angry at his lack of uselfulnsess, but vows to help the party and agrees to attend the wedding.
3E483/12/19 - The next day, Gideon has a bad dream and wakes up having lost 30 kgs, most of his health, and with black veins. Weakened, he even tries to stab out his eye before he’s stopped by Kai Li. Realizing that the battle of light and dark within him is killing him, Zuq’zeen says that he’ll help him out in Timeron. They teleport back to Fort Huxley, where they receive an invitation to dinner with Gothwyn in her Timeron mansion. They discuss their next steps.

SotE Chapter 5 - The Green Wedding

3E483/12/20 - They leave for Timeron alongside Bakos and Tasmyn.
3E483/12/23 - One night during travel, Ingrid and Kai Li have another shared dream of Tindalos. This time, it feels like it was triggered by Tempos. Kai Li hears whispers against her, and finds herself on a pile of monk corpses. Afterward, the corpses all turn into various versions of Kai Li, with Gothwyn at the top. Upon waking up, Kai Li reveals what happened to her during the timeskip, and how she accidentally summoned the hounds of tindalos at her monastery and she let all the monks die.
3E483/12/27 - They reach Timeron early in the morning. They immediately head to Olzarburg Hill, and decide to stay at Villa Gaten instead of Villa Rennwald. They leave Bakos to unpack their stuff as they head out into the city, running into the goblin Count Kruggus who asks for an invitation to the wedding. At the Hall of Harmony, they meet Sören, Werner’s brother, who is very nervous around Ingrid. He promises to meet Werner at night back at the villa, and introduces them to Elise, who recognises the pure light within Gideon. Later, at the DoD, they finally reunite with Team Ivory Suns. Guildmaster Holroth introduces them to the DoD Grandmaster, Aam-Fen-Ross. They decide to reveal everything about the time gears and Gothwyn to Holroth and Fen, who agree to help out the party if push comes to shove. Fen reveals that the Ivory Suns have been working for Gothwyn for the past year. After a brief moment of doubt, Meras says that they have been working for Gothwyn to be closer to the enemy, and have a map to the time gear under Timeron. As everyone heads back to Villa Gaten, they run into Ingrid’s mother Innes and aunt-in-law Melisandey. They exchange some words, and her mother gives her the cold shoulder once she learns that Ingrid will be staying with the Gatens. They catch up with the Ivory Suns and later Sören, who reveals all the major details from his spying diary on Innes. They go to rest, ready for dinner with Gothwyn tomorrow.
3E483/12/28 - In the evening, they head to Villa Gothwyn. The dinner gets heated, and they manage to reach no real compromise. She still wants the wedding to proceed without any issue, and for them to not fight during the ceremonies. They agree for now, and she vows that even in her perfect world, neither she nor any future Gabryel will erase them from the timeline- promising the party their perfect ending in her world. The party doesn’t realize it, but she uses time stop to steal her time gears as they leave. As the party head back to Villa Gaten, they see Meras acting suspiciously outside the villa. They realize that he’s a Meras from a different timeline, and inside the villa, end up fighting various different people from other timelines- Erna from Another World, Sören from Another World, Evil Kai-Li, and ‘Ballista Gemini’ aka Gordon Huxley from Another World. The fight is tough, but they manage to kill most of them and incapacitate Alt. Erna. Werner steals the second moonshade from Alt. Sören just as the real one arrives. He elects to watch his other self die for Gothwyn’s cause. Werner receives a secondary Moonshade, breaking all laws of time.
3E483/13/01 - They interrogate Erna from Another World, and she explains that Gabryelle brought them here and is paying her well. They don’t gain much information beyond realizing that their time gears are gone, but Erna manages to convince her alternate self to stay in our timeline and be free of her Alfarihm. At that point, they are invited by Meras to the DoD, where they also run into Team Rosé. Grandmaster Fenn explains time breaks to them and how sometimes two timelines converge, and that’s how Gothwyn’s multiversal replacement works. The only way to prevent it and actually take her time gear would be to get Adamant Orbs, stones that could protect them from timeline fluctuations. He tells them to go to the Temporal Spire, the grand temple of Tempos in the city. There, a priestess gives them the orbs, and they also witness the Temporal Clock- 12 time gears, only unlockable by gods, and five missing. Werner’s mother also shows back up and catches up with them.
3E483/13/02 - Next morning, Zuq’zeen arrives with a solution for Gideon’s sickness. He warns that he will most likely die, and to come with him alone. However, the entire party decides to go with him. Zuq’zeen takes him to an asteroid above a dying star, a black hole. There, Gideon witnesses two possible futures for himself- The light future leading him into becoming a saint and training new lightwatchers, but ending up causing a lot of religious clashes with the Ballista. The dark path involves him becoming a lich to do what must be done, becoming a herald of darkness to counter Kol Han’s light, even corrupting gods. Conflicted by the two choices, he focuses on the feeling of balance, and is eventually transported before Elder Kosmos himself. He ends up making a pact with the Elder God to be their eyes and ears on Abmarah, as balance is restored within Gideon. He keeps both the artifacts, and his health is restored as he is remade entirely by the Original One. As he and the others return to Abmarah, Werner’s father arrives with an entire Kasaaqi band. The party does some shopping, and heads to the opening ceremony of the wedding. There, they interact with a lot of nobles and important people from all over the world, including Xi-Di, Kasaaq, and Cinoh. Most importantly, they meet Emperor Sombra of the Crimson Empire. He instantly senses their powers, items, and abilities, and asks them how important their goals are, eventually trusting them. Werner also talks to Sabrae Sombra, his potential spouse, and does manage to impress her to a degree. They then see King Renaer enter last, much to everyone’s stress. He kneels before the Kaiser, preventing war. He then baits Gothwyn out into the gardens, where she tries to kill him. The party intervenes, and manages to kill Gabryelle, and this time they end up taking Time Gear Alpha before the new Gothwyn arrives, who feels much stronger than any before.
3E483/13/03 - The next morning, Bakos reveals an entire raid group assembled downstairs- Jahaesko and Ingfrid, Team Ivory Suns, Team Rosé, Erna from Another World, even Grenthrum, Yi-Wen, and Tasmyn. The entire group walks towards the entrance to the depths, as everyone has some solemn conversations about what’s to come and the future. Yi-Wen agrees to travel the world with Kai Li if they survive all this, and as the party sees potentially their last sunlight, they all have a moment of cheer and optimism. Erna and Kai-Li both come out and say that they’re gay, and the party eventually heads into the depths. Immediately, they are ambushed by Innes Rennwald and some Temporal Knights. Refusing to budge, she fights Ingrid one versus one, and almost does take her down. Ingrid manages to defeat her mother, and convinces her to stand down. The party gets lost in the labyrinth a fair bit despite the map, as Gothwyn’s forces are already deep inside. They discover that a part of this used to be a temple of Tiamat, and that the time gears were used by the Omniborn to kill the dragon goddess, but only took away Tempos’ favor and heralded their downfall. The entire group splits up at some crossroads, and the Krono Krew ends up in a mausoleum with a Bone Tree. The Treewalker spirits attack, but the Moonshades counter its abilities and the party ends up winning. Beyond that, they get lost in a minotaur labyrinth, and are attacked by the last guardian, a celestial minotaur spirit named Esteros, one of the first minotaurs to exist. They end up convincing him that they are only there to protect the gear. He lets them pass into the sand-filled epsilon chamber, where they see the goddess Tempos in her slumber alongside the time gear. As Ingrid finally realizes that her prayers truly would never be answered by the slumbering goddess, Kai Li suddenly tries to kill her. Kai Li herself appears in a Tindalos mindscape, as “Prime Kai-Li” reveals herself to both the party and to Kai-Li. She reveals that our Kai-Li was from a different timeline all along, and she was the one who had the pact with Orr’eeyar. She hid herself away behind the only good Kai-Li’s consciousness to hide from gods and scryers alike. She mind controls Ingrid and takes the time gears, almost getting the win before the party and Kai Li manage to take her down. Kai Li vows to stay in this timeline, and defeats her evil self for good. As that happens, Gothwyn shows up with Stella di Silvestri and some knights. They bring out Bakos, Meras, and Iôlwen, threatening to kill them. The party starts their final fight, managing to save the three from harm’s way, and quickly take care of the knights. They kill Stella di Silvestri once her divine intervention to Jakuna fails, as time begins to glitch out with all the time gears reunited. Gothwyn and the Krono Krew alone appear back in the Uhrwerk Bowels, as if rewinding through time and fighting. The fight rewinds further to Varkaria, and even to the DoD Guildhall in Rockham where they first met him. Once they finally get him low enough, time glitches even further back into Rockham Depths, where Gothwyn’s coffin rests. Werner manages to get the final hit on Gabryel, who is returned paralyzed to the coffin. He accepts his fate, and says that all that he did, he did for love for his family and country, and that he wouldn’t change anything if he could do it all over again. The party together pierces his heart with Moonshade, finally killing him for good. Time glitches one final time as they and the three time gear guardians, Uxius, Galdip, and Esteros, appear in the Temporal Spire. The clock is restored, and the timeline irons itself out and fixes everything, including closing all these gateways to other timelines. Uxius decides to scatter the five time gears again, and raise new temples and guardians to protect the time gears again. Orr’eeyar, through Kai Li, offers to protect Tempos. Ingrid agrees, as Time Gear Alpha alongside Tempos herself are transported to Tindalos for good. The party reappears at the surface of the Depths, reuniting with the entire group and celebrating. Ingrid immediately kisses Meras.
3E483/13/04 - The next day, they are honored by the Kaiser and some few important people in the throne room, including Innes as the interim hand of the kaiser as well as the other four monarchs of Terros. Sofia von Gothwyn becomes the new Duchess of Rockham, and vows to atone for Gothwyn’s sins. She promises to reform the Knights of Gothwyn to do better as they originally intended. The party decides to not make Gothwyn’s deeds public, but their actions in saving the world through the Shatterrealm Tournament come to light. Later, they all share farewells with each other and discuss their future plans, as the wedding continues without a hitch. With time finally restored, their work comes to an end.
