The Master Below

Quests

Type
Quest

My new steward has informed me that, long ago, a powerful Engwithan constructed a labyrinthine dungeon underneath Caed Nua now known as the Endless Paths of Od Nua.

Od Nua was killed by the people of his time for his deeds, but the steward claims that a powerful force still dwells within the ruins. Whenever someone attempts to take possession of Caed Nua, this 'Master Below' stirs awake and sends forth a flood of monsters to reclaim it. If I do not deal with this sinister presence, I may eventually share the same fate as the Aedyrans who tried to claim this land long ago.

Endings

  1. At the bottom of the Endless Paths, near the very heart of the world, I found the Master Below, and defeated her in battle. Caed Nua will not suffer her influence any longer.
  2. Moved by the dragon's plight, I found her a new vessel in the form of Falanroed, a wandering dragon hunter. Possessed of a new body, the dragon can now roam the surface among us. She has vowed never to trouble Caed Nua again, and I have gained a powerful ally for journeys to come.
