Multiverse History The universe was empty all that existed was the Creator and the Destroyer. These two bickered and argued, their fighting eventually birthed the Neutrality. The Neutrality used its powers to end their battles and give them both their own domains. The neutrality separated these domains with its own neutral home. Each one decided to fill their domains with their own worlds. Thus, they created the Elemental Chaos this realm of pure elements was used to pull resources from to help build the worlds. These worlds became filled with their own forms of life. The oldest life in the universe were the Great Old Ones. Born just after the Neutrality separated the Creator and Destroyer. The left-over energy and sudden creation of physicality amassed into horrifying beasts. Overtime these creatures were able to use the powers of the different worlds to build their own world and monsters. They first built the Far Realm, but it was flawed, and its corruption seeped across the other worlds. The Neutrality saw this and separated it from the rest of the universe, this frustrated them, and they found ways to unleash their essence subtly. They gave birth to Aboleths, Mindflayers, Beholders, and other beasts that love to feast on the insanity of other beings. These were all unleashed and made to believe they had autonomy when they all unknowingly serve the Great Old Ones. The Creator began with first creating the realms of good and gods to oversee them. These would be realms home to all things good and would serve as bastions of creation. The realms of good are: Mount Celestia, Elysium, Arborea, Bytopia, The Beastlands, Ysgard, and Arcadia. Each world became home to the good gods and angels. Eventually the spirits of mortals would find their homes in these planes. The Destroyer also built their realms of evil and their own overseer’s. These would be the home of despair, death, and destruction. The realms of evil are: The Abyss, Hades, The Nine Hells, Pandemonium, Carceri, Gehenna, and Acheron. Each of these planes is home various dark beasts, demon princes, archdevils, and evil gods. The spirits of mortals also end up in these planes whether by choice or force. The Neutrality knew that these planes had to be separated so it created the realms of neutrality. The three planes that were made became strange lands of balance and change. The neutral planes shared their neutrality with the panes of good and evil that bordered them. The three planes are Mechanus, Limbo, and The Outlands. These realms defend the peace and provide order to the multiverse. With all of these planes made the multiverse had come into being. However, it felt empty and lacking still. All three prime gods came together and created a new plane. This would provide life and support to all other realms. This was the material plane. A plane of mortal beings that gave the universe meaning and drive. The mortals provide all understanding to the universe and became the favored creations of all beings. The magic and energy of all the planes twisted and melded to create more planes. These planes served as dividers and twisted copies. They were: The Astral Plane, Ethereal Plane, Feywild, and Shadowfell. These planes developed their own life and creations in time, but no god called them home. With these created the Neutrality called forth the other prime deities. They formed a pact that none of them would be involved in the realm of mortals. All mortal affairs would be handled by the gods and other powerful beings. This would be the case unless something endangered all of the multiverse. For several millennia the plan worked, and the multiverse flourished. Until Vecna came into being. Vecna was a powerful mage that wanted to be a deity, so he met with different gods. He used magic and his command of secrets to trick them into fighting each other. He sparked a great war and gathered energy from the mass death and the battling of the gods. With his growth in power he built his empire on lies, secrets, and undeath. Eventually he traded with Orcus and gained the knowledge of lichdom. With this extra power he came to the near power of a deity until his top lieutenant fought him and annihilated his physical form except for his left eye and hand. It was too late though for Vecna had ascended past his physical form. This war and sudden emergence of new god threatened the balance though and summoned the trinity. The trinity came to the material plane and summoned Vecna to his trial. All of the gods, archdevils, demon princes, and powerful beings came to his trial. They began their judgement of Vecna, but he did not understand his place in the multiverse. He berated the trinity and felt they were of little power. The Destroyer in that moment wanted to annihilate Vecna. The Creator wanted to change Vecna into a different being that would be eternally left on the bottom of the world. The Neutrality saw a different lesson in Vecna. It proposed that Vecna may retain godhood over evil secrets and undeath but would be eternally broken. He would face eternal torment and agony every secret and undead would cause him pain. The true punishment though was he would lack the true power he craved. He would be trapped unable to do anything himself and stuck relying on underlings. With this they trapped him in Hades to rule the larva that lived there. Before they left, they gave one final decree. They declared this the War of Tragedy. The last decree would be that supreme beings would not be allowed on the Material Plane any longer. They could commune with mortals through other means, but not come to the realm themselves. With this decree all supreme beings left the material plane taking a few of their followers with them. The trinity placed a caveat on the rule that if another mortal sought the power of a god in such away then the supreme beings may attempt to stop said creature through champions. With this they left the mortal plane again. The realm of mortals rebuilt and grew creating a new date system. Their B.W.T. or Before War of Tragedy, and P.W.T or Post War of Tragedy. New kingdoms were formed while others were lost in time. This also led to the follow of some gods as their main cities of worship disappeared. Time moved on though. Nations have grown, and wars have been fought. Outer Planes Mount Celestia, home of the impossibly huge mountain that rises from a beautiful silver sea. The Creator made it as the home of lawful good. It serves as the essence of justice, order, celestial grace, and mercy. In order to ensure the realms continued success the Creator assigned four gods to protect it. These gods were Bahamut, Tyr, Ra, and Moradin. They made their homes across the seven plateaus. Moradin lives on the first plateau. He wanted to be the first and closest to the core of creation. Tyr made his home on the third plateau. He sought to celebrate and ensure that justice was kept across all layers. Bahamut, rests on the sixth layer. He used his essence of good to spread across all layers and protected Ra. While Ra rested on the seventh plateau. His sun showered light and faith across all layers. Each plateau slowly gained names from their caretakers: Morala, Mortayr, Tylo, Tyhadu, Baty, Bahakal, and Ra-Bahail. With the Neutrality separating the gods and archdevils from the material plane Ra fell into a deep sleep. His worship plummeted as his power no longer fed his followers. Bahamut now guards the sleeping god hoping that one day there will be an opportunity to awaken him. Elysium is a beautiful realm of filled with fields and forests. This realm serves as the home of the neutral good. It is in essence a home of pure safety and rest. To oversee the land three gods were given control of it: Pelor, Odin and Chauntea. Odin became the watchful protector gathering all knowledge in his tower of black and blue crystals. Chauntea however made her home in the fields. She decided to oversee the agriculture and harvest of the land. Pelor moved deep into a forest and created a stunning gold and ivory citadel. He became a pure light illuminating the land and healing all things. Their homes became known as Valhalla, The Everlasting Harvest, and The Citadel of Dawn. After the Neutrality separated the gods and archdevils from the material plane Odin’s worship fell. He became forgotten and his tower slowly crumbles. Arborea is a mountainous expanse covered in ancient forests. The realm serves as home to chaotic good forces. In this land lives creatures that are dedicated to defeating evil. It is a land of emotion and beauty. Joy and rage both are causes of celebration and honor. Two gods were given dominion in this realm: Corellon Larethian and Selûne. Corellon revels in the magic and beauty of Arborea. His rage creating vast storms of arcane energy that destroys evil. Selûne is one of beauty and strength her essence fuels the moon. She is known for a quiet rage that will cause all evil to fear the moon. Correllon makes his home deep in the forest named Arcellon. Selûne lives at the peak of the mountain Lunadale. With the creation of elves both gods took a liking to them. They plucked certain elves and created a new elvish race in Arborea that love battle and the wilds of Arborea. Bytopia is a strange plane. It has two perpendicular layers where the sky for one layer is the other layer. It is a place of balance between lawfulness and neutrality. One layer is a tamed landscape of pastures. The other is a wild landscape of trees and forest. Both serve as a land of productivity and satisfaction. No gods call this their home, but Moradin and Chauntea visit here frequently. Moradin has filled it with creations and made a peaceful utopia of harmony and nature. Chauntea carefully oversees the pastures of this land and provides workers. The Beastlands is a land of wild nature. Every climate is here in an unbound manner. This is a land built for hunters. The land is an embodiment of neutral good and chaotic good. It is home to no gods as they feel it is best to let nature be free there. Ysgard is a rugged and dangerous realm. It is filled with mountains, fjords, icy caverns, and many other hazards. The weather fluctuates immensely with blistering summers and freezing winters. However, it is home to the greatest battlefield of all existence, Olyhalla. The battlefield contains every hazard and danger of Ysgard. In this chaotic neutral and chaotic good land has four gods that call it home: Kord, Hercules, Thor, and Tymora. Kord, Hercules, and Thor all will claim heroic souls from the material plane and send them into battle in Olyhalla. Tymora meanwhile provide good fortune to certain participants creating a never-ending competition. As time went on though Hercules and Thor lost followers becoming weaker gods. This hampered their abilities to keep a large army growing, thus Tymora supports them most. Each has their own castle while Tymora’s home floats above the battlefield in a golden disc. Thor lives in a large crystalline stave fortress named Ragnarolo. Hercules has a marble citadel named Marthel. Kord lives in a large silver castle that is constantly under a storm named The Storms Will. Tymora’s golden disk is named Clofair. Arcadia is a plane of perfection and order. Everything here is perfectly arranged, nothing is random, and all is perfectly straight. It works constantly towards the common good and perfection. The world is a lawful good and lawful neutral land. A perfect mountain range lies in the center of the land. It has a large orb that serves as the sun and moon, one half of it is the sun while the other is the moon. The orb rotates perfectly, never missing a beat. The land is governed by four demigods created by Zeus to continue its unity. They are titled the Storm Kings and each lives in a castle that is surrounded by their respective domain. The Cloud King lives in the Cloud Keep. The Wind Queen lives in the Gale Fort. The Lightning King lives in the Castle of Bolts. The Rain Queen lives in the Downpour Fort. While under the central mountain range lives a race of dwarves plucked from the material plane. They created the kingdom named Arcenstone. Ioun also calls this land home. She lives in the ever expanding and changing library, Infinatum. The library is always meticulously cared for and organized. The library lies near the peak of the mountain range, and while it is infinite it will never expand outside the mountain. The Abyss is home to the chaotic evil of demons and the demon princes. It is filled with death, gore, and horror. It is an endless pit of layers that get even more horrifying the farther you go. Each layer is different, but they all are inhospitable and decaying. The demon princes and various evil gods make their homes on different layers. The Demogorgon makes its home in The Gaping Maw. It lives in two twisting towers that rise from an inky sea. Its fortress is named Abysm and it is a place of madness. Orcus makes its home in Thanatos a realm of undeath. It is filled with tombs and other burial chambers. His large necropolis named Everlost is where he plots to conquer the multiverse. The goddess Lolth calls the Demonweb her home. It’s infinite tunnels and webs open portals to other planes drawing in objects for her schemes. Her home lies in the Demonweb Pits. Baphomet lives in The Endless Maze. At the center of this endless maze is his giant ziggurat fortress called the Well of Insanity. Dark Prince Graz’zt rules over the realm of Azzagrat. This covers three layers of the abyss. He created the city of Zelatar where he lives in Argent Palace. Yeenoghu lives in the Death Dells. He has no distinct home as he roams the landscape killing and hunting to sate his infinite hunger. Talona ruled alongside Graz’zt but as her followers faded, she fell in power and Graz’zt usurped her taking her in as a royal prisoner. The Nine Hells are layers of law and evil. It is filled with devils that all follow a dark caste system and are under the rule of Asmodeus. The law of the land is to work your way up from the bottom whether it is by favor or an underhanded plot. In order to traverse the planes, you have to start at the top and work your way down. No portals connect to any layer other than the first one. However, the River Styx connects every layer and is the fastest means of travel between layers. The first layer is Avernus and is the entrance to the Nine Hells. It is ruled by the Archduchess Zariel who took the place of Bel who is now her adviser. The goddess Tiamat lives in the realm as a prisoner but holds her own domain named Chromalia. Zariel rules from a large basalt citadel known as the Burning Citadel. Sobek has also made his home in this realm ruling over the River Styx calling the river itself his home. The second layer is the layer of Dis and is ruled by the Archduke Dispater. He rules from the Iron City of Dis in his Iron Tower. The third layer is Minauros and is ruled by the Archduke Mammon. He rules from the city of Minauros in a flooded castle named Mammon.

The final layer is Nessus a real, of dark pits. It is ruled by Asmodeus in his spire fortress Malsheem. Hades is a land of neutral evil. It’s perpetual gray and leeching of all hope leads to the souls that wander there to become larva. The realm was devoid of any ruler until Vecna was imprisoned there to forever rule over the larva that wander it’s wastes. Vecna lives in the obsidian spire Devlor. Pandemonium is realm of maddening winds. It is perpetually dark and noisy and embodies chaotic evil and chaotic neutral. The god Tharizdun calls this plane his home. He loves the wind and endless darkness. He watches as all other creatures go mad. He basks in their silent screams. Carceri is the realm that models all prisons and is the embodiment of neutral evil and chaotic evil. It is the home of traitorous souls. The god Bhaal calls it his home as he hunts and torments souls. He also loves to bring the souls of murderers to here for him to flip the table on them. This realm is also perfect for the god of murder as none can leave the plane unless taking one of the secret exits. Gehenna is a plane of suspicion and greed. The plane embodies neutral evil and lawful evil. It is a volcanic plane of death and lacks mercy. It was the birthplace of yugoloths. The yugoloth city Gefolo resides deep inside of the central volcano that dominates the plane. Acheron is known as a realm of infinite battle. It is the embodiment of lawful neutral and lawful evil. The plane has four floating iron cubes for its land. Battle is always present here as the god Gruumsh makes his home here. It perpetually gives him discomfort to reside here which fuels his endless rage and lust for battle. Mechanus is the embodiment of the lawful neutral. It is a realm of clockwork with an infinite amount cogs working for some unfathomable goal. A race of beings called modrons wander the plane perpetually. Their creator is a man named Primus. He is creature made to protect the infinite algorithm of the realm. He creates modrons in his workshop named Cogdrone. The god Farlor also calls this realm home. He uses the cogs in his infinite understanding of time. He lives in a citadel made of eternally shifting sand named Cloanus. Outlands is the disc plane of neutrality. It is what separates the outer planes from the material plane. It looks quite similar to the material plane as it is a combination of all planes. Around its edges lie sixteen towns each one home to a portal to a respective plane. In the center of it lies the needle mountain Spire. Above its peak lies the ring city Sigil. A merchant’s paradise with portals to every world and plane. Inside the outlands reside many beings. The god Helm lives at the base of the Spire in a fort known as the Steel Fortress. The god Dunatis calls the peak of the spire his home living in a carefully crafted castle, Spire’s Edge. The Raven Queen made her home in Sigil living in the Dark Mausoleum. Melora lives in the Rose Forest at the central lake named Fentain Lake. Limbo is the plane of the chaotic neutral. Inside this realm everything is in constant flux. Only powerful minds or creatures can reside here. The god Zeus lived in a fortress made of solid lightening named the Thunder Fort. As he lost followers though the fort fell into disrepair and it’s lightening has become less and less solid.

Continents Lolore

The isolated continent of Lolore lies in the North Western hemisphere of Kavreal. It is a continent with no large nations and only three major cities. The continent is shaped like a dragon’s head. This has led to the creation myth that the world is an ancient dragon that is in a deep sleep, or that the world is a primordial dragon that the gods slew and built the world on. The nation is known to be almost always covered in snow. It is home to all sorts of beasts that lead to it being very dangerous. Notably an ancient ice dragon lives deep within its Northern mountains. The continent was home to a frost giant city, but it was abandoned after the War of Tragedy. It has since become home to a dwarven kingdom. In the East lie several tunnels that have become home to a cult dedicated to the lords of undeath, Vecna and Orcus. Deep within the tunnels locked behind solid iron doors is a path into the Underdark that leads eventually to a portal into the Abyss. There are only a few major areas. Stole Lake is a massive lake that lies on the western side of the continent. It is nearly always frozen. Deep below its icy top layer lies an ancient city that was built by goliaths before the War of Tragedy. During the war though it had been attacked and destroyed leading to the goliaths becoming the nomadic tribes of the North. Various creatures have taken up their homes inside of this ancient city. Then as time went on water filled the crater it was in becoming Stole Lake. In the center of the continent lies the Revyel Mountains. This large mountain range is surrounded by the ancient Slenday Forest. In the center of the mountain range lies the huge mountain named Glacialstone Mountain. Inside of the mountain lies an ancient forge of Moradin. The forge lies deep in the mountain surrounded by magma. The forge vents out of the peak making the mountain seem like an ancient volcano. Magical protections and illusions prevent anyone from entering the forge this way. At the base of the mountain range lies the ancient frost giant city of Storvenhum. The frost giants though abandoned the city during the War of Tragedy to join the battle but were all wiped out in battle, or unable to return to their old home. Dwarves found the city and moved into it renaming it. The city became known as Galenforge. They reworked the city and began digging into the mountain range. The dwarves have not found the forge, but they have found ancient armors and weapons. They have found other hints to this forge. The mountain range is also occupied by other creatures such as yeti’s, goliath’s, and more frost creatures. The Slenday Forest is a large central forest that rings the Revyel Mountains. This ancient forest is filled with all sorts of creatures. The most prominent though is the wild tribe of druids, Feyslen. The Feyslen has a small druid village hidden deep in the forest that guards a portal to the Feywild. Just beyond the portal is a larger city in the Feywild named, Synlangdor. The rest of the forest has no distinguishable towns or villages, but it is home to a lumber mill and outpost that lies on the road between Galenforge and Tulain, named Pinelen. Various nomadic tribes will also make their homes in the forest. Namely the northern goliath tribe Ice Breakers and the orc tribe Grok’lo. It is this forest that provides a lot of the sustenance for the continent. A huge portion of the Eastern part of the continent is covered by the Elorei Tundra. The tundra stretches for miles but is lacking in any real destinations. A few outposts dot its landscapes, but the largest locations are hidden in the hills. A large underground cave system lies in the Delona Hills. These caves were once home to an outpost of Drow, but a faction of the Undying Cult cleared it out and delved deep into its tunnels. They entered the Underdark and continued deeper until they found a Drow village. They cleared the village and found a portal to the abyss, but it went to the Demonweb. They corrupted it and changed it to connect to Thanatos, so they could easily contact their master. The cult uses this remote location to easily develop their power in peace while drawing in unknowing travelers. The largest outpost of the tundra is located South East of the hills near the Slenday Forest. This outpost is called the Tulal Outpost. The outpost serves as the largest place for people who want to go out into the Eastern portion of Lolore. To the North East are the Cleave Mountains. The mountains are home to an Ancient White Dragon called Ferom. The dragon rules over a clan of kobolds and lizardfolk. The dragon will hunt the mountains for different beasts and creatures. Namely it will hunt wandering frost giants. A small frost giant fort lies in the mountains named Goven. The fort and its different residents live in squalor. They used to have a much livelier life style, but with the white dragon living there now it has made it hard for them to raid effectively. The rest of the mountain range has various caves scattered around it. The most notable is home to a large Dwarven City. This city is the only reason people will travel this far North. It used to be the capitol of a small Dwarven nation until the dragon arrived. The Dwarven city is called Iceforge. It was built inside an ancient cave system that they have expanded upon. North of main land mass is the island Veggel. The icy island is very desolate and empty of most life. Only the strongest of ice creatures will stay on the island. Kalrone

Events Historical Events • Current Events • Building Events • Player Events • Past o The group was sent to town Canven by Lord Fanvel in order to solve the issue of kobolds attacking the town. While journeying down the road between Cliffven and Canven the group comes across a small camp containing a scouting party of kobolds. The camp lies in the woods just off the road. The group investigates and fights what they can before being forced to evacuate to their own camp. The next morning the group journeys South to Canven reaching the town. o Upon reaching the town the group finds the nearest tavern and inn and stays there for the night. The next morning, they leave for what they think is the mayor’s estate but is actually the home of a local wizard that helps the town. They are then directed to the mayor’s estate and are informed of what has been happening. For 5 years the town had been experiencing kidnappings and local legends of snake people in the Yuanleaf Forest. That was until recently when the town came under attack by a horde of kobolds. The kobolds first attacked in force then slowly would raid the outer parts of the village. The group was given a guide named Escibope to hunt down the kobolds in the Yuanleaf Forest. o After leaving Canven the group journeys deep into the forest eventually coming across a series of clearings that are home to various cultists. The group captures one of the cultists who reveals they worship the god Sseth. The group then journeys further through the clearings and encounter kobolds that had been hunting the cultists. They fight the kobolds until they find a large tent that has several statues inside it of various creatures and a strange bed. They continue forward noticing a large clearing with a strange pyramid temple in it. The group decides to rest. o The next morning the group makes their plan of assault on the temple. They notice holes that were carved through the temple and that the temple is surrounded by piles of burned corpses. They continue forward climbing the temple to very top and finding several kobolds and an altar. They kill the kobolds then head to the second-floor leaping to it instead of going all the way to the bottom. They continue to fight through the pyramid until finding two gazers on the top floor and more statues. They kill them and learn of some master that is in charge of them. They then journey to the bottom floor after looting the other floors. Escibope is killed by a powerful kobold that had been guarding the bottom floor. The group kill everything there and leave. While leaving they notice several kobolds running towards a hill in the East. They also notice a large snake that’s watching them before heading South. The group chases the snake but loses it. They head to town with Escibope’s body. o They return to the town and go to a priest and the local wizard to try and revive Escibope, but no one can. They then return to the mayor and the mayor pays them and takes care of Escibope’s body and family. The group informs the mayor of what happened and tell him that they want to return to the temple and hunt down the kobold remnants. The mayor tells them that he will find a new guide for them. The next day the group is introduced to Reyshal, a hunter that trained Escibope. The group journeys back into the forest. o The group returns to the temple and then heads East to where the kobolds were headed. They reach the hill and find a small cave entrance and head inside. Upon entering they set off a trap that caused a series of bells to ring. They continue to enter into the cave and encounter more kobolds. They fight through the cave system setting off more traps along the way. After further exploration they find what seems to be throne room. Inside they find another gazer and some of the kobold leaders. They also find more stone statues and another hay bed. The group kills the leaders and then exits the cave system. o The group returns to Canven and informs the mayor of their findings. The group gains their payment and say goodbye to their new-found associates. The group then heads back to Cliffven. Upon returning they head to Lord Fanvel and report their success. They also informed him of the gazers and the discussion of some master controlling them. This troubles Lord Fanvel and he informs them that he will try to investigate what is going on. He dismisses them and goes about his business. The group then goes about shopping and gathering new resources. They then find a tavern and celebrate. o While at the tavern the group hear screams from the Northern gates. The group rushes out and see the outer city is under siege from a horde of undead monsters. They rush through the gate to help save any civilians they can. They fight through the undead until eventually encountering a large bone naga. After fighting through the horde, they then return to Lord Fanvel to ensure he’s safe. Lord Fanvel and the inner city are safe. The lord, however, is staring through a telescope towards the northern hills. He shows the group what he is looking at. A figure clad in black riding on a skeletal horse. The figure rides into the forest a few undead following behind him. Lord Fanvel informs the group of a banished necromancer that may be the cause of this. He tells the group of Baron Grat who lives in a nearby village and keep who had been keeping an eye on the area around the forest. He also tells them of a nearby wizard university named Raven’s Feather University. The group decides to investigate and gains a new teammate from Lord Fanvel. The group is given a few horses and head out to the university. o The group journeys to the university and makes camp along the way. Upon reaching the university they learn of the different wizard schools and practices. They are also introduced to Headmaster Hidalgo. The headmaster gives them the story of Tevar-Keth the necromancer. The group feeling more prepared head to the village of Oakshire and Fair Fall Keep in order to meet Baron Grat. Upon entering the town, it is strangely empty, and the keeps gate is lowered. o The group journeys into the keep and encounter various magical enemies and zombies. As they journey through, they learn that Baron Grat is now dead and all of the denizens of the town have passed. It seems that the keep had tried to fight away the attackers but failed. As the group explores, they eventually find a blocked door and a staircase heading down. o The group journeys into the catacombs and dungeons. Upon entering they hear someone yelling for help. As they investigate, they find a drow druid. They release it and it joins the group. They journey through the catacombs killing zombies and setting off traps. They eventually reach what seems to be an end chamber. Tevar-Keth stands on the opposite side of the room. The group attacks but quickly discover he’s an illusion. After a brief discussion Tevar-Keth calls out of a central pit a zombie beholder before his illusion vanishes. The group battles the beholder killing it. Upon killing the zombie beholder, the group attempted to discover what they could from the notes in the room but were unsuccessful. After searching the room, they finished exploring the dungeon eventually finding a secret door that led to an encounter with a gelatinous cube, nearly losing a team mate. After killing the cube, they continued through this secret tunnel finding a study with a statue of Vecna. They searched the room finding a secret chest in the statue and a lever. Upon pulling the lever this opened another secret door. They went through the door and found a treasure chest. This turned out be a mimic and nearly killed one of the team members. Upon defeating the mimic, they then decided to leave the dungeon having explored all that they could. They then returned to Cliffven fearing if they chased the necromancer, they would die. They reached the city and went to the Golden Ale Inn to rest and celebrate. • Present o • Future o Conqleq assaults Cliffven in the night.
