In a ruined temple beneath the Smoking Sea, Nyra leads Andrew and Maelora to a vision chamber—built by dragonseers long dead.
There, Andrew sees the Doom not as fire—but as punishment. The death of a people who chained gods.
In the vision, Rhaemion is seen speaking with a being made of molten darkness. It offers him a throne of bone and flame. He kneels.
Ashmourne screams. Maelora faints.
