With Moa'ki Harbour secure, the Order needed only to wait a few days for Apu'api, the descendant of the Tuskarr hunter To'toni, to arrive. He took them to the hunter's ancestral stone, but the spirit would not speak to them, mistaking them for Svanrir, who had long ago stolen from him.
Thus the Order returned, hastily, to the Grizzly Hills, recruiting the aid of all forces that they could muster on the way to the heavily-fortified Solstice Hill. In an arduous battle against the Cult of the Damned, and some of their latest creations of darker origins, the Order defeated the cultists and reclaimed the seashell necklace from the cousin of Gorm, who had, the day before, been murdered by the cult.
With the necklace of To'toni in their possession, they rode westwards with renewed fervor, encountering the Order of the Blood of Martyrs along the way. In a lightning skirmish, the two orders clashed once more, and the Hoary Key changed hands. Beseeching To'toni for his aid, and defeating the shadowy assassin construct of their dreadlord nemesis one more time, they were then shown the path to the Crypt of Arduran.
Deep beneath the crystal cliffs at the northern edge of the Dragonblight, the Order descended into the darkness and, with the Hoary Key in their possession, unlocked the ancient tomb of Arduran, To'toni and Kelmir, their spirits trapped within the frigid cavern... until now. Without the enchantment placed upon the cave, the spirit of Kelmir was freed, bound to return to a tenebrous staff that he had left in the lands of Tirisfal long, long ago.
The spirits of Arduran and To'toni gave thanks to those that had at last freed them, and in turn they were sent to the Light's keeping by the paladins of the Order. Sir Renald reclaimed the haft of Arduran's hammer, engraved with the countless oaths and vows the Tyr's Guard had sworn, whilst both of their bodies were taken to be cremated, save from the grip of the Scourge.
There was some comfort in that the spirit of Arduran was freed, and his possessions taken safely from the clutches of the Order's enemies, but the freedom of the ancient wizard Kelmir's spirit left many questions unanswered. The path ahead was obscured once again, though the Order knew they needed to return to Stormwind first and foremost, where the Cult of the Damned had only recently sent agents in preparation for the Crypt of Arduran being opened...
The Order returns to the Kingdom of Stormwind once more! Those interested in partaking in the third, climactic part of the Diathonix trilogy are more than welcome to join us ASAP!
