Midsummer

The holy day of the Corellon the Arch Heart celebrates the first emergence of the Elves into Exandria from the Feywild. In Syngorn, the elves open small doorways into the Feywild and celebrate alongside the wild fey with uncharacteristic vigor. The elves in Bysaes Tyl celebrate similarly to those in Syngorn, but it is a much quieter affair, as worship of Corellon is banned within the Dwendalian Empire. Still, the elves on this day often have a little more wine than usual.

As the Tide of Ruidus sailed on toward Whitedawn Lagoon, Prezzie revealed that she found an asteroid that fell near the farm and gave her a big ruby from inside it; she’s been sleeping with it under her bed. Della and Scrum saw that this ruby, actually a piece of Ruidus, has been discovered at the house, but left in the center of Prezzie’s room. Unsure who knows about it or what awaits there, Della and Scrum decided to portal jump to the farm and take it. Doing so, they realized that the stone is giving off a radius of ruidic energy and it’s high enough that, when under her bed, Prezzie’s been sleeping in the aura of Ruidus for a month.

That night, Applethorn was visited by the Moon Weaver who called him an “enigma” and one who was “twice foretold”. She mostly seemed interested in his preparation for the prophecy’s that involve him now and noted that others with similar fate strands did not fare as well (a scream of Alyxian sounded, but she didn’t react as if she heard it). She explained that the prophecy of Applethorn’s birth was put into motion when he released Tharizdun, the Chained Oblivion, under the Three Spires. Death is coming but the devils want it sooner as they believe Applethorn is the only thing stopping Tharizdun’s corruption of the world. They want to destroy him in order to let the Oblivion flow. To face Tharizdun, Applethorn will need to find the Armor of Ilmater in Druvenlode and stand against the Oblivion in the Barbed Fields. He’s not yet ready, but striking early might give an advantage.

For the newer prophecy, for Melora’s blessing, the Moon Weaver offered to help you find the temple that would grant this blessing, if you travel to Charis and remove a harp that has falsely been given to Melora instead of Sehanine, as it should be. Remove the harp, return it to Guntherie Miggles in town, and Sehanine will grant you the knowledge of what temple of Melora’s you need to travel to. Additionally, if you agree, she will tell you how the Devil’s are tracking him.
