Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests trekked across Rokasing and finally reached the capital city of Völsung, where they found the city packed to capacity with warriors from across the region, all ready for a fight that had yet to come.
Leaving Cassie outside the walls, the Tempests entered the city in search of the Jarl or Zaan’s father, Qan’Karro, hoping to share what they had learned. They found Qan’Karro first, giving Zaan a long-awaited reunion with his father—though with everything happening around them, there was little time to enjoy it.
Völsung was overflowing with fighters, with still more on the way, but the Jarl faced one rather significant problem: they had an army ready to hurl itself into battle and no idea where the enemy actually was.
G3-MENI, meanwhile, was safe and about as healthy as one could reasonably expect while missing their legs. They filled the Tempests in on what little they knew, but there were still far more questions than answers.
With evidence that cultists were operating inside Völsung itself, the Jarl placed the Tempests in the care of his Listener, Skava, and tasked them with rooting out the spies within the city. The hunt proved successful, followed by a rousing bout of interrogation involving chains, fire, spells, and threats of feathers. When the captive proved less useful alive than they had hoped, the Tempests turned to Lakin’s ability to negotiate with the dead instead.
From the dead spy, they learned that information from within Völsung was being passed to a Cult Acolyte named Cedric. The spy had never seen Cedric’s face, however, as the Acolyte always wore a mask.
The day still had one more surprise in store. During the interrogation, Kasumi was suddenly overwhelmed by a powerful sense of rage and loss—emotions that were not her own. Attempts to identify or dispel whatever magic might be affecting her revealed nothing, so the Tempests returned to Cassie, where Kasumi attempted to contact her deity, Shenshe.
Through a series of signs and a brief ritual, Kasumi managed to hear the dragon god’s voice. Shenshe revealed the source of the grief Kasumi had felt: her mate, Tlazocolatl, was gone. She gave Kasumi a single task.
Find him.
We rejoin the Tempests now aboard Cassie, just outside the walls of Völsung, as they decide what comes next.
