Summary
The party heads west, past the end of the Empire and the Realms, into the frozen tundra of Kaldur.
- The party makes their way to the Vindurslag, the tallest mountain in the world
- The top of the mountain is hidden inside a raging, swirling, thunderstorm
- Probably magical
- They land the Crimson Hawk a few miles away and approach on foot
- They battle frost giants and remorhazs in the middle of the storm
- Tarkonus finds a path up the mountain and they battle their way to a gate that leads into the mountain itself
- Winding their way through frozen halls, they pass around a massive shaft leading straight down to a pit of lava
- Tarkonus sees a belt stuck on a rock in the middle of the lava, but it doesn’t burn
- Azeem tries flying down to retrieve the belt, but the heat is too intense for him to reach it
- They make their way back outside and see massive, floating rock formations surrounding the summit, with floating stone stairways forming a path upwards
- As they climb, they battle a storm giant who can disperse herself into the storm
- They force her to retreat, and the storm withdraws with her
- They enter the last and largest of the floating rocks, and find a large chamber where the Empyrean waits on his golden throne
- Ezekiel burns the Empyrean to death, and the storm giant flies into a rage
- Corbin beheads the storm giant
- Tarkonus takes Armor of Ifrit from the Empyrean’s collection, armor that wards off any fire or flame
- He uses the armor and Azeem’s cloak to brave the heat and retrieve the belt, which they find to be the Empyreal Wrap, a belt of epic strength
- They return to the Crimson Hawk and find Silvaras waiting for them
