Survive the Apocalypse

The Breaking

When you return from the Realm of Chaos, Maya tells you that you’ve been gone for weeks. She asks whether you killed Drakath. You tell her he’s still alive and you expect to see him again. The Queen appeared over Mount Doomskull and vanished after the Breaking began. Her monsters are still attacking, and people are starting to flee the continent.

Maya has been holding a summons from a group calling itself the Council. The Loremaster’s code forbids her to name the sender or interfere. The letters look like a cipher until you learn they were written in ink that scrambles the message. In Arcangrove, Rayst makes a counteragent and discovers that the scroll changes as you complete the tasks it sets.

The Trail to the Watchers

The scroll leads you to She Who Answers, who can guide you only by asking a question. You answer her riddle by saying that you find the unfindable in the last place you look. She sends you after the Watchers. In the Twisted Land, you drive off the Queen’s monsters and help villagers rebuild. DewDrop then gives you a shield that can make its bearer invisible. A stranger whose face she couldn’t see told her to expect you and left the shield for you.

Ironfist gives you the Pick of Destiny and asks you to take an iron vial to Madra. She tells you that many Darkblood still worship the Mother of Monsters, although she and others condemn what the Queen has done. The vial was made for the Tears of the Children, which Madra hopes will help save Lore. The scroll next sends you for musical crystals from Mythsong and DreamDust from Sek-Duat. The dust lets you look into other worlds.

Elucidas and the DragonPlane

A pale dragon named Elucidas appears and says he has fought the Void with another version of you. He brings a message from friends who want you to know that losing your powers hasn’t changed who you are. Entire planes are disappearing, he warns, and the Queen is a greater threat than Drakath ever was. He urges you to stay close to Maya. She tells you that the DragonPlane must fall for the one true dragon to rise and rebuild it, and you fight your way home.

The Doors of Knowledge

Lord Brentan has a note from the people you’ve been looking for. It sends you to the Guardian Tower in Battleon for a map to the Watchers’ tower. The Queen’s minions have driven the Guardians out, so you recover the maps from the war room before the invaders can take them.

Maya parts from you at the Loremasters’ entrance. She has a ceremony and a debriefing of her own, while you’re to enter the Doors of Knowledge for the Exchange. The Loremasters want what you know and will offer information in return. You hope they can make sense of the map and tell you where to find the Queen. At the doorway, Dominus says you’re expected and calls you onward.
