Other Information & History
- After The Sundering, Ashira Yelris † found herself trapped in a love triangle with Caden SteelBreaker † and Galen Verix ‡. Ultimately she falls for Caden but it's considered Taboo to marry humans in Elvin culture so she promises to love Caden forever in secret.
- Soon after she returned to Ehobel, she was known to constantly leave the palace at night time and only return in the early hours of the morning looking incredibly drained. Over time she became so weak that she passed away.
- This explosion also caused a wyvern to attack the area. During the chaos of the attack, no one noticed when Xekai secretly caused the tree to fall onto Caden's body, killing him. His death was verified and his body was brought back to Blackwall.
- Later on, the party adventured out to The Emerald Fort and met Genevieve † who revealed that Caden was originally a part of The Dawn but defected to help from the OFC. It was also revealed that he fought in The Sundering 250 years ago.
History & Mentions

|---|---|
| Session 30 | Malin carried on talking, almost losing himself in his own words of doom and gloom. He explained that During the first Sundering, the world had The Auditors, Galen Verix ‡, and other strong warriors, like Caden SteelBreaker †. Now, most of those warriors are dead and missing. The Dawn Empire is fractured, and Ehobel has lost its most powerful Wizard queen, Ashira Yelris. Strixhaven, although still a strong faction, is nowhere near the same strength as before, with its renewed focus on research during times of peace. Tulan Fort is in shambles, and The Emerald Fort is without a leader. |
| Session 30 | Obeus Yelris, recalling her own family background, inquired about Halfbie’s parents. Halfbie revealed that they wanted to earn money to support their family in Paraton. Although they had limited financial resources, they shared what little they had. Obeus mentioned her own tragic family history, stating that her mother had passed away shortly after her birth, and she did not know her father until after his death. |
| Session 26 | The Party soon arrive at Foxtail Orchards, they're very tense as they remember the contract they signed with the Goblin Mafia during the war meant that this town was their official territory. Korrigan manages to get a small look inside and everything seems calm. There aren't that many people on the streets, notably less than when they were last there. They decide to go in and have a look, there are no guards so getting to the tavern is pretty easy. Looking inside they see the Halfling barkeep still behind the bar doing their normal work and no one else around them. Chenris and Korrigan enter, and the barkeep welcomes them in. Mordecai asks how things are going. She notes that not many people walk through Foxtail anymore with the Pyramid]] blocking a lot of the trade and the goblins being murdered. According to her, Caden SteelBreaker † came into town during the war and killed most of the goblins on their way to fight. The party promises to help the best they can and move on. |
| Session 22 | They cross the portal to find themselves on a road they recognise to be near Foxtail Orchards with Obeus and Xekai waiting for them. Shocked to see the ever-mysterious cloaked figure, Mordecai asked what happened and why he was there. Obeus explained that when the door closed on her she went looking for help and found Xekai who offered to help them. Xekai spoke up, looking disgusted at how damaged and bloody they all were after the fight and opened a portal. A halfling woman soon walked through and asked if he wanted the usual, Xekai nodded and she fully healed The Party. They were now filled with questions that seemed to flow from their mouths like a vast waterfall, however, Xekai refused to answer any of them. Instead opting to say "At least you cleared that pyramid, a little behind schedule perhaps, but a good job nonetheless". Korrigan's questions about this schedule were only met with Xekai's refusal to answer. Korrigan then realises that Xekai was the one who killed Caden SteelBreaker †, otherwise known as Obeus' father. He tries to quietly point this out to Mordecai but Obeus overhears him and bursts into tears. |
