Upon observing the moon of change, Moradeim, flux and bathe the Lunar
Spire with its light and flowing energy, a small group of people came to
investigate the happenings at the tower. Silver energy rolled over the
surface of the moonstone spire, and lashed out at the group lingering at
its base. From within the tower a humming vibration could be heard, and
the ground started to shake beneath their feet. Then as quickly as it
all started, the light diminished and life returned to normal.
Upon the arrival of the next month however, the moon sprung to life once
again. Pulsing with an eerie blue light, a pinpoint of light jumped from
its surface and made its way down to the planet. Panic and chaos
followed with everyone pondering the end of the world, and taking up
arms against the foreign object. The sparkling boulder entered the
atmosphere and stopped before it hit the ground. It warped and changed
eventually revealing that it was Uz'Kahor, the Moradeim Dragon.
Uz'Kahor immediately went to work looking for something, circling over
many cities and forests before settling into the Dun Valley. A large
audience amassed at the dragon, and many questions were fired all at
once. Uz'Kahor delegated a speaker, though everyone continued to ask
many questions, the dragon became impatient and left.
The crystalline dragon did not give up though; he searched over a very
wide area, over rock and under river, for what he named a disturbance in
the moon's magick flow. He eventually turned to the populace of
Aetherius once again for help. Heeding the words of Ikitae about the
strange events at the spire involving Aydamar, he flew to the spire and
found what he was looking for, the source of the disturbance.
The dragon flew into the sky and demanded that Aydamar come out, and be
destroyed, though Aydamar had other plans. Aydamar ran to his native
Antioch seeking sanctuary from the dragon that wished to eliminate his
life. The city found him guilty of turning to magick and cast him from
their ranks.
Finding nowhere else to turn, Aydamar made his way back to the Lunar
Spire, where the dragon caught scent of him again, and called him out to
fight. At the base of the tower a battle ensued involving the two.
Eventually Aydamar climbed up onto the dragon's back, and plunged two
moonstone sabers deep into the dragon's shoulders. In a final dire
effort, the dragon rose high into the sky, carrying Aydamar with him,
and plunged himself onto the peak of the tower, with the very end
puncturing Aydamar's forehead.
Shadows and energy crept up from the base of the spire. The dragon faded
away and Aydamar wretched his head from the peak, breaking off a piece
of stone in the process. The dragon, a mere shadow of its former glory
writhed itself off of the tower and carried his new master to safety
within the confines of the Spire.
Many questions remain. What did the power Aydamar was tampering with, do
to him? Will his mortal body be able to handle the strain the changes
are putting on it? Only time will tell the answers.
