During the Great Fire of Arün five years ago, Prince Laverne Ingerman stared down death, succumbed to fear and accepted that his life was at its end to save his father. However, Laverne survived thanks to his father's love for his children and King Valka took Laverne's place in the afterlife. Now, King Laverne has one wish: to resurrect Valka. Unfortunately for him, there is only one way to get his impossible wish granted: resurrect the dead gods. 
 

What Is Done

The two male elves eventually heeded Essaerae's words and went around Lake Oribel, along the far side. On the western side of Lake Oribel was the town of Kaylik, trapped between the Triple Peaks and the water. The eastern side of Lake Oribel harbored a few small villages along it's length. They had been closer to Kaylik than they had thought. By the late afternoon, they were halfway down Lake Oribel's length. 


They went through the streets of the smaller towns on the east side. Each of the villages was more run down and shady than the last. In this particular village, there were patrons on the streets, sitting outside restaurants and bars. Gambling filled the streets. Many of them didn't pay attention to strangers until someone noticed Laverne's crown. 


"Elf King!" A passing dwarf shouted, pointing at Laverne.
