Raszageth and her storms are gone, but our troubles are far from over.
The way to the Reach is clear again, and some of our allies have returned to establish a base camp. However, Sarkareth and the Sundered Flame have begun making their way there as well.
We need to secure the island. We would appreciate your aid.
Thankfully, our enemies have not discovered our scouts. The Incarnates and the Sundered Flame are both formidable foes. I'm uncertain whether we'll be able to safely monitor them again without retribution.
The situation is heating up. Some of the dracthyr have already returned to the island, but they're going to need a lot of help building up their base of operations.
Scalecommander Emberthal says: Raszageth's storm has abated. It is time to return to the Forbidden Reach and search for survivors... and seek answers about the dracthyr's past.
Sarkareth: The storm is receding. The reach is ours once again.
He hears a distant roar and spots the three remaining Primal Incarnates flying in.
Sarkareth: Take cover!
They escape under some trees as the Incarnates fly past. In a whisper, Dezran wonders aloud:
Dezran: Who are they, Sarkareth? Is it the Aspects?
With a squint, the three incarnates flying past are reflected in Sarkareth's eye.
Sarkareth: No. Raszageth's kin.
The incarnates land at the Old Weyrn Grounds at the entrance to the War Creche. Their shadows show them shifting to their humanoid visages.
Vyranoth: The last echoes of her storm are fading. She is truly gone.
Fyrakk: We should be devouring her murderers' hearts.
Iridikron: Do not underestimate them, Fyrakk. Our sister's overconfidence was her downfall.
They walk inside the building, stopping before a passageway blocked with rocks.
Iridikron: While the Aspects' power has waned, their forces grow stronger. And we must even the scales.
Iridikron's right hand starts glowing with power, which he uses to blast the rocks out of the way.
Vyranoth: They kept so many secrets... from us, and even from each other.
They enter the main chamber of the Earth-Warder's Cauldron as the camera pulls back. The visible eye of the dragon statue in the center lets off a red glint, detecting the intruders. Numerous circles light up the ground, and crystalline earth elementals pull themselves out of those circles.
With heavy thuds, one starts to climb up the wall to Vyranoth, but she instantly freezes it, and it falls to the ground and shatters. Another takes an overhead swing at Fyrakk, who catches it in his left hand and pulses fire magic through the elemental's arm, melting it into lava. Fyrakk laughs menacingly.
A large group attempts to surround Iridikron, but with his still-glowing right hand, he magically floats them all off the ground and shatters them all into dust.
Iridikron: It is here.
He walks up to the dragon statue.
Iridikron: Neltharion's betrayal shattered their unity... left fissures in their hearts.
As the other Incarnates walk up behind him, Iridikron raises his right hand again. He magically lifts the statue, revealing a magical artifact inscribed by a rune in the base of the statue.
Iridikron: Yet the pain he inflicted was only the beginning.
Iridikron grabs the artifact and channels more of his power into it, revealing more runes from inside it.
Iridikron: One last secret, deep within the earth.
Iridikron releases his magical power and, in a jump cut, they all exit the War Creche back to the surface.
Vyranoth: The location of Aberrus must lie within this vessel. I will decipher its knowledge.
Fyrakk scoffs.
Fyrakk: What use of Neltharion's twisted experiments to us?
Iridikron: The laboratory itself is of no consequence.
The camera cuts to reveal the dracthyr eavesdropping.
Iridikron: But the molten fire that powers it... that we can use.
In a whisper, Sarkareth gives his order:
Sarkareth: Keep eyes on them, Dezran. Whatever remains of Neltharion's legacy... belongs to us.
Offscreen, the incarnates shift back into their proto-drake forms, then fly up through the camera's view off into the distance.
After the cinematic, Kurazidaia can be asked to show the cinematic again:
Um, can you repeat that report? <Watch cutscene again.>
PTR version
Description
Trouble is brewing in the Forbidden Reach. The recently freed Primal Incarnates are on the move, seeking something on the island.
Some of the dracthyr former comrades have also traveled to the Reach. The Sundered Flame is there in force, led by Sarkareth, a former scalecommander. Danger abounds, and we would appreciate your aid.
Completion
Your timing is impeccable, and your aid is sorely needed.
We've got a Scouting Drake you can use, or you can find your own way there.
Either way, you're about to be very busy.
Second gossip
I am relieved to hear our enemies have not discovered our scouts. The Incarnates and the Sundered Flame are both formidable foes. I'm uncertain whether we'll be able to safely monitor them again without retribution.
The situation is heating up. Some of the dracthyr have already returned to the island, but they're going to need a lot of help building up their base of operations.
Do you understand the situation, <class>? I know you'll do the right thing.
Understood!
Um, can you repeat that report? <Watch cutscene again.>
