Shadowfall Under Siege

Gravelyn and Shadowfall

Earlier in the war against Chaos, Gravelyn calls you to Shadowfall to declare where your loyalties lie. Serving the Alliance can mean following Cynari's Good methods or Tibias's Evil ones. Both strengthen her army, but Tibias orders puppies prepared for undeath and dragon eggs destroyed as potential threats, while Cynari saves them, finds willing recruits and wins the mother dragon's support instead.

Gravelyn also stages a bandit attack on Poisonforest so that your rescue will win the villagers' trust. Tibias explains that she wants spies throughout Lore. Cynari knows she arranged the danger but has not been told why. The service ends below Shadowfall's jail, where you enter Sepulchure's crypt and defeat the shadow of her past.

Gravelyn and Krahen

Deciding that they need the Champion of Light against the shadows, Dage and Nulgath turn toward Dage's ally Gravelyn, Empress of the Shadowscythe. A shadowy bird listens as they discuss seeking her help.

In Shadowfall, Gravelyn offers the connection she has to both Light and Darkness as a possible answer to the Shadowflame army. Dage recognizes the bird from their earlier meeting, and Nulgath identifies Malgor's spy. The Alliance of Evil prepares to fight as the attack reaches the fortress.

Gravelyn intends to counterattack through the Doomblade's connection to the shadows where her father was trapped. You gather the power she needs and oppose infected undead, whom she promises to raise again. Her route might bring you to Malgor's throne without fighting through his whole army.

The Doomblade cuts a portal through the gathered darkness. You help Gravelyn follow the route, suppress the spying Shadowcrows and sustain the blade while seeking guidance from spirits in the realm. A prepared spell finally marks a trail toward your quarry.

Krahen isolates Gravelyn in darkness, claiming that no one can see or hear her while offering friendship and insisting she has always belonged to the shadows. When they cover her in a dark armored form, she declares herself the Champion of Light and breaks their hold, returning to her familiar red armor. Unable to control her, Krahen takes a humanoid form to fight.

You defeat Krahen, and Gravelyn acts on instinct, releasing light that hurls him away, reaches Malgor and shatters the surrounding shadows. Back in Shadowfall, she is as surprised as you are by the strength she released.

Malgor recognizes the burn as the power of a true Elemental Champion and intends to watch Gravelyn, but her blast has also severed the route through the shadows and ended this pursuit. She regrets losing the opening, though she refuses to give up.
