Chain of Worlds

Since I have been bound to the Sword of Summer, It came to me to decide the final circles.

The first seem to be focussed on the actual construction of the Aerie of Autumn. It seems that various elementals of different pure types were merged in the construction.

This might explain why Pure elementals are so uncommon. The merging in thjis process may have caused a wide reaching effect.

It would appear that the clan of Autumn used magic to travel between worlds as traders. This is fortunate as it allowed them to have the magics to allow for the Exodus.

My calculations indicate that it would have taken the energies of a Million Mages to keep the Dimensional Rift open long enough to allow for the Great Migration.

If the final circle is to be believed, this is precisely what happened. Their lives were fed to a process to keep the Rift open.

We are just about to enter the final elemental room.

Next, of course, was summer.

The Ancient wonder was the Library of Anabaris. Contained in two great towers, and surrounded by desert.

Unfortunately, my companions refused to follow my sage advice and, again, the second question was incorrectly answered.

In this case, the battle revolved around the destruction of a 50 headed demon which was crushed with the Aerie of Summer. The others assumed that magic hads been used.

The final circle again was focussed of the Aeries. This time the Aerie of summer which was obtained from the Spring Clan (Known for their Aeries) through marriage.

We again were forced to fight the final guardian (in this case a fire elemental)

We know have a vial of elemental fire which does still require Oxygen (though it requires no fuel)

Following the seasonal cycle, we next attempted Spring.

Following what appeared to be a pattern, the first circle focussed on one of the ancient wonders. In this case the Palesian Guardens. A forest of Glass Trees that appeared to grow from the ocean.

The next focussed on a great battle where a demon was destroyed. Unfortunately, we mistook the songbird as an indication of the sobriquette of the general responsible. We got this one wrong (I have indicated what I believe to be the correct answer)

Finally, was a circle focussed on the oriogin of the Aerie of Spring. In this case, it appears that the Aerie was siezed after the Exodus from the now extinct Colubra Humanus race.

When the door opened, the room contained an air elemental that sucked the very air from the room. Again, the sword bearer was asked the Soul of the sword but, in this case, the name did not come to mind and we were forced to fight the creature.

We pervailed and retrieved a vial of elemental air.

Winter is, of course, Neflheim, Voss and Olen's house. This enabled a reasonably easy solution to the puzzle.

The first circle was solved with a great wall and a snowy waste.

The resulting image was that of the Nrun Fastness one of the great ancient wonders; a great wall that held back the glaciers.

The second was centered around the shield of Voss and Olen's grandfather. This made the soltion relatively clear.

Since the man is only famous for his slaughter and impalement of the golbinoids of Haven after the Exodus, the goblin and spear were the clear choices.

The resulting image, reinforced the brutality of this leader of the Neflheim clan

The final circle was centered on an image of the Aerie of Winter.

The answer revolved around the war the Eladrin and Dwarves fought over the destruction of several mountain tops during the construction of the Aerie of Winter.

After the door opened we found ourselves in a chamber that was extremely dry. At its center was a pur Water elemental that drew all of the moisture from the air. It asked Voss for the name of the soul of the sword of Winter. At this point, Voss suddenly knew the answer (Peter Kovak) upon answering, the elemental disapated, and we retrienved a vial of elementally pure water from a small font.
