Episode Introduction
Six months following the defeat of Lord Vaarelixian in Waterdeep, the Mortal Guardians have nearly driven the Coven of Zul from the Sword Coast. With a trove of information gathered from the Conductor’s assets, our brave heroes have fought tirelessly to ensure these cultists have nowhere left to hide. Following the coven’s trail, we have tracked down a sanctum nearly where it all began: not far from Arcamaryndel, the mages college on the outskirts of the moors and in the shadows of the shining city of Cindervaeld. Whatever forces remain, a sanctum of this size has not been found before, and the impending assault will surely be dangerous--for the coven grows desperate in these late hours, and they will not yield without a fight.

Episode Recap
Six months after the defeat of Lord Vaarelixian in Wintervaeld, the Mortal Guardians pursued the trails of the Coven of Zul near the faraway sister city of Cindervaeld. There in the nearby moors of Brightgleam Valley they discovered a large coven sanctum just as its members were fleeing. Breaching its doors, our brave heroes were prepared for a fight against the coven, but they quickly discovered something far more sinister: a deadly, malicious demon had broken free within the underground Tomb of the Sun Dragon. Trapped in an ancient battle, the demon’s awakening also brought forth the return of the ghost of an long dead dragonborn paladin in the service of the Sun God—who’d sworn to battle the demon for eternity. Joining forces, the ghost and the Guardians defeated the demon and purged the tomb of its evil menace. In addition, they gained crucial information on the coven’s dealings in Cindervaeld, preparing them for the dangers ahead.
