30 Kuthona AR 4713

Returning triumphantly to the Pathfinder Society, the Pathfinders Aurelius, Delilah, Krelan and Sir Clank-a-lot are unquestioningly given the title of Seekers.

The Vault Keeper, power source of the Emerald spire is no more.

The various allies that the Pathfinders keep are still holding up on the first few levels of the Spire, as Delilah dedicates her time to the conversion of the Spire as a hunting lodge, in honour of her own deity, Erastil. A safe perimeter is formed where the levels which delves into the Darklands are sealed and protected against. Delilah also wishes to use the Emerald Spire as a Pathfinder Lodge, in which she wishes to head the lodge.

The ranger, Krelan, returns to the Pathfinder Society to serve as a Special Agent to the Decemvirate, called upon only on extreme circumstances where his special set of skills are required.

The sorcerer, Aurelius, having acquired one chapter of the Book of the Damned, decided to make the best use of the book, and heads off to Nerosyan, to offer his services in the Mendevian Crusade.

The paladin of Iomedae, Hellknight armiger, Sir Clank-a-lot gladly offered to join Aurelius in the Mendevian Crusade, where his experience in fighting otherworldly beings from the Emerald Spire might be of help to the Crusade.

==========

An uneasy truce exists between the new Emerald Spire, and Fort Inevitable. 
At the onset, many refugees tried to seek refuge at Spire, but they were firmly, but politely turned away, at the command of Delilah. 
Fort Inevitable, upon learning of this strict non-intervention policy, closed an eye to many of the Spire's activities, even if it was later learnt to be a Pathfinder Lodge, and the hunting of bandits, and the like. 
This isolationist policy, however, prevented the growth of the Emerald Spire as a proper settlement, and it remained in this state for many years. 
Eventually, the presence of the Spire grew as a Pathfinder Lodge as many of the Pathfinders have to pass by the Spire as they proceed onwards to Nerosyan in Mendev.

==========

The cantankerous Abernard Royst made a magnificent map of the Emerald Spire, and eventually, hiring some nice Pathfinders, he had his chance to see the wonders of the Emerald Spire himself, although he always stops shy of venturing too deeply into the levels of the Spire for fear of encountering the denizens of the Darklands.

Hellknight Signifier Chaid DiViri returned back to Fort Inevitable when the Inevitables lost their power source. Realising that there was no way to summon their army of Law, they decided to return to the Plane of Law to make sense of what they have learnt in the short span of time on the Material Plane.

The members of the Seven Foxes were never discovered, and their secret activities frustrates the Hellknights in Fort Inevitable to no end.
