The dragon lies dead and the Angels' Blessing has shattered. The survivors who lived through the hunt now face a changed world where old protections no longer hold. The Land itself bears the scars of what transpired, and those who remain must navigate the aftermath of their victory. What seemed like an ending was only the beginning of new troubles. The party members who survived the first ordeal discover that breaking ancient magic comes with a price. Other inhabitants of the Land emerge to deal with the consequences of the dragon's death and the Blessing's destruction. The story picks up immediately where the previous adventure ended, thrusting the characters into a world where the rules have changed. Each survivor must confront not only external threats but the weight of what they accomplished and lost. This continuation explores how victory can bring its own form of devastation.
