Heroes (lvl 14): Deet, Ryel, Hassan, Horgin, Rhys, Nura
676 MR - Spring
The canyon shakes with thunder as two Brazen Gorgons emerge, iron beasts blazing with molten fire. Their breath scorches the air, their hooves shatter stone, but the Heroes stand firm. Steel and sorcery smash through iron hides until the constructs collapse into cooling heaps of obsidian.
The way forward leads into the shattered shrine of Basaïa. Once a radiant temple, it now lies corrupted — halls lined with petrified priests, mosaics warped into shadow, veins of crystal crawling across the floor. The very air hums with the Basilisk’s curse. The Heroes press on, pushing through collapsed passages and avoiding traps where divine light has twisted into necrotic flame.
Then the tremors rise. Dust rains from the ceiling as the Stone Tyrant emerges. The Basilisk towers from the sanctum, marble-scaled and many-eyed, its mane bristling with shards of stone. Around it lies its hoard of bones and statues, and at the center gleams the Obsidian Eye.
The battle shakes the temple. Gaze after gaze threatens to turn flesh to stone, columns collapse, and shattered statues lurch to life. Yet the Heroes endure. With a final roar, the Basilisk shatters into fragments of blackened stone.
The Obsidian Eye is theirs — the first relic to break the Seals of the Suncrown.
