Ouroboros and Camlan

Before the campaign in Skye, an Eclipse opens over Battleon as an unnamed summoner releases three condemned Shadows: the Metamorphosis Maw, Umbra Chaos, and the One Who Sets the Sun. Ordered to spread fear and drive mortals toward salvation, Ouro, Apophis, and Eos struggle with damaged memories and the pain of daylight. They withdraw to find Champions, weapons, and a new empire of their own.

You defend Battleon with Warlic, Tara, and Gravelyn against spirits that also threaten her rule, rejecting claims that the Shadowscythe had launched the attack. Sigrid Sunshield, an ArchPaladin empowered by Astero, nevertheless attacks her and refuses to recognize Lynaria's daughter as Champion of Light. Brentan brokers an uneasy arrangement: the Lightguard will protect the civilians while Gravelyn hunts the rebel Shadows.

Alina supplies the defenders while Serenity shelters civilians in the cellars and warns you against the creatures' whispers. Aria wants to join the fight, but she is still recovering. Gravelyn refuses to be protected by children again, despite a wound that resists treatment and makes using her Light painful, while Yulgar struggles to let Aria choose her own risks.

The creatures are not simply undead: Shadows had joined living bodies, remade townspeople, and animated armor. Your investigation also uncovers the graves of powerful Clerics and fragments of solidified Light. Meanwhile, words return to previously blank records in Maya and Muusa's care. A forest pedestal once thought harmless resembles Undine's machinery, and forgotten accounts of a great swallowing Maw begin to reappear.

In the northern forest, Warden Dryden initially mistakes Gravelyn's forces for the attackers, but his welcome changes when he recognizes her as Champion of Light. He leads you toward Camlan's monument and the Mysterious Stranger bound to its pedestal. Gravelyn knows it as the adviser who had urged Sepulchure to discard her. Even captive, it claims responsibility for her family's survival and her empire's existence.

The Stranger explains that it had helped erase the Doom Triad's names and deeds through Condemnatio Memoriae after they sought Lore for themselves rather than their Master, only for a Nameless Mage to use it to reverse that sentence and bring them back. In a private warning, it describes the Maw's earlier conquest of the Northlands and urges you to reach Camlan before Dryden's people become its next vessels.

Gravelyn sends the Stranger toward Shadowfall while you follow Dryden into Camlan. You find Elves who welcome Ouroboros as a path back to power, along with Clerics' graves beneath the supposed sanctuary and Lynaria's recovered letter exposing attempts to make Champions of Light serve Elven conquest. With Clarent, the Kingmaker Blade, at the center of that ambition, Dryden begins questioning the history his parents had taught him.

After Bellona and Sleih admit opening Camlan to Ouroboros to make Dryden king, you and Gravelyn confront the Maw and its stolen Clarent in the temple. Dryden wounds Sigrid while protecting his parents, then accepts their demand that he become Ouroboros's knight. You drive the creature back, but Gravelyn collapses as it escapes with the Elves. When Infamy threatens to Silence you if you use time to pursue it, you stay to save Gravelyn and Sigrid instead.
