673 MR - Winter

The party moves towards the center of the sargasso, fending off the nocturnal attacks of horrific plant creatures raising from the kelp. They reach the wreck of the Thunderer, the ship stuck at the center of it all. Inside the ship they find the Mother of All, a huge amalgamation of seaweed and body parts of previous victims. The PCs destroy the creature, putting an end to the sargasso's existence.

Freed from this peril, the PCs continue their voyage towards the Isle of Ghosts. After a few more days of sailing they reach their destination, but the island is shrouded in heavy mist, making their approach very treacherous. Through a combination of navigation skills and magic they find their way through the reefs, and drop anchor off the coast.

The PCs and a few volunteers board a sloop and row to the nearest beach. Ancient masetian ruins dot the landscape. While the party investigates the beach, ghostly figures make their approach. The PCs are confronted by the spirit of long gone masetians, challenging their arrival. Hassan shows proof of his masetian bloodline, and the ghosts let them through.

The mists part, and the explorers find themselves in a lush primeval jungle. After a few miles, they reach civilization. A thriving hidden settlement grows on the island, the mythical City of Dorotheas. The PCs are challenged by a war party led by the noble Kleio, who escorts them to the city. When Hassan shows her the locket he received from his father, Kleio recognizes the coat of arms of the Thalassios, regents of the city. The party is escorted to the palace, where they meet Queen Naunet, Hassan's mother.
