Heroes (lvl 12): Amani, Deet, Gunnar, Hassan, Regall, Ryel
674 MR - Summer
The party strides into the grand throne room, where the Emperor awaits, wearing the mythical Crown of the Empire. With a voice dripping with charisma and malevolence, he attempts to persuade the heroes to lay down their arms and join him in ruling the empire, proposing Amani as his bride. Yet, the righteous fury of the heroes, kindled by two decades of tyranny and death, is unyielding.
Battle erupts, shadows springing to life as Thalion and Malik launch their assault on the Emperor. But the Emperor’s dark magic is formidable, inflicting excruciating pain on those who dare to oppose him.
Malik is the first to fall, the Emperor’s ruthless strike piercing his heart and siphoning his bloodline, ensuring he cannot return.
Desperation grips the heroes until Amani plunges her magical dagger into the altar that feeds the Emperor’s shadowy power. In the reflective surface, a gauntleted hand emerges. Seizing it, Amani summons Anomander from beyond the veil.
With Anomander’s immense magical prowess now bolstering them, the tide of battle shifts. The climax arrives when Anomander transforms into a colossal black-scaled dragon, cleaving the Emperor in two with a single, devastating bite.
The heroes reclaim the crown, and Anomander places it upon Amani’s head, crowning her Empress. As the Emperor's dark power dissipates, the undead in the streets crumble to dust, and the rebel dukes' armies surge forward.
A jubilant crowd gathers in the main square outside the imperial palace. When Empress Amani steps onto the balcony, a resounding cheer of glory and victory echoes through the air.

Far to the north, in the depths of his foreboding lair, the Gorgon whispers to the shadows.
"The Bloodline of Roele has returned..." he hisses.
Fiery eyes blaze with renewed hatred in the darkness as the ancient dragon growls ominously.
