Synopsis

Zerroth's body was missing as of recent events involving the Ragnak Reclamation as a mixture of V'Tullians and Fire Giants from Teras wanted him to lead their armies in battle once again. Rumors of his resurrection have spread, but remain unconfirmed. V'tullians did assault those at his beir enmasse the Day of the Huntress, 26th day of Lormesta, 5124 when his body vanished from Dais in Hinterwilds.

A roiling mass of dark soot and ash surges inland, from across the Frostmain, and funnels downward toward the Angargreft! (21:00 ET)

>LOOK

[Angargreft, Berserker's End]

Blood pools thick and dark on the dais, dripping from and oozing between the blocks of ruddy feldspar in a constant sluggish flow. The source appears to be a monstrous figure draped across an equally behemothic bier of red-veined white marble. A quintet of rounded stone pillars supports an ornate roof over the fallen gigas, and each pillar is deeply graven with a downturned scimitar outlined in smeared ash. Wind barely whispers over the ground, as if even the brazen elements fear the place.

Obvious paths: down

A loud *thud* echoes across the area, followed by another, each accompanied by mild tremors. It repeats at a measured pace, accompanied by the sound of crumbling ice and rocks. (21:25 ET)

A V'tullian gigas destroyer barrels in, bellowing a mad battlecry that shakes the ground with its intensity!

>DESCRIBE destroyer

A V'tullian gigas destroyer is a hulking brute of a fire giant, standing more than four times the height of a man and with the immense muscle mass to match. Covered in ash and streaked with dried blood, the destroyer's features are otherwise impossible to discern.

A V'tullian gigas battlemaster barrels in, bellowing a mad battlecry that shakes the ground with its intensity!

A V'tullian gigas champion barrels in, bellowing a mad battlecry that shakes the ground with its intensity!

You look around, but see no sign of Zerroth. (21:33 ET)

>LOOK

[Angargreft, Berserker's End]

Blood pools thick and dark on the dais, dripping from and oozing between the blocks of ruddy feldspar in a constant sluggish flow. It pools upon the surface of an empty immense bier roughly carved from red-veined white marble. A quintet of rounded stone pillars supports an ornate roof over the monument, each pillar deeply graven with a downturned scimitar outlined in smeared ash. Wind barely whispers over the ground, as if even the brazen elements fear the place.

Obvious paths: down

A voice booms from nearby, "V'tull has sent these warriors! They will bring death and glory in my name! And that name is... ZERROTH!" (21:35 ET)
