Notes on Golgaryllgar: Indor is the land of the Vikings. Traditionally protected by the Legion of Three Hundred, Indor is the home of Grindill and Adilbrand Noblesword.

The Guardians went into some of the libraries of Catemar and discovered the order of the Nexuses that Grindill was going to be using to complete his spell. Also in the library was a large black monolith. This monolith was apparently a portal because Raloth of Itsitlawikanah arrived through it.

Sir Raloth explained that he was here to look into Grindill’s doings and he explained the use of the monoliths, explaining that there was a monolith at each nexus of power. Also in the library, they discovered that Grindill used geomancers to create the nexuses in the first place. Amren decided that geomancers could just as well move the nexuses and hopefully destroy Grindill’s plans. Grindill was currently using a form of geomancy to combine at least seven of the known nexuses.

Amren and the Couatl used the power of Yrmenfor, a Chronomancer known to Raloth, to go back in time to learn geomancy from the original practitioners of the ancient art. After several months in the past, they were returned to the present after the art was learned.

The party used the gateway to travel to Atman Tor. They had decided that nothing could be done about Golgaryllgar. At Atman Tor they saw the encampment of Isaxar the Vile, the new Emperor of Drychtnoth. Sir Raloth explained that he had an alliance with Isaxar and might be able to convince the Emperor to leave the site long enough to let Amren and Ragnar move the nexus.

Half the party then decided to go back to Golgaryllgar and try to delay Grindill, because it would take several days to move the Atman Tor nexus. Dovinyae, Pogo, Xhi Xhu, and Toki went to Golgaryllgar. They found Grindill was cutting a glyph through the rainforest, and was using a series of psionic-empowered tapestry-maps to do so. Dovinyae found out how to use the maps. He concentrated on them, and then was lifted out of body into the air where he saw the ground work superimposed with the actual glyph. He found he could mentally direct the workers to miscut the trees, but did not see how that would help since the true glyph would still be able to be seen by the true directors and then corrected. He was soon discovered and he escaped. Going back they thought about stealing the tapestries, but thought that would bring down Grindill’s direct wrath, so they quickly misdirected the workers, and then traded and re-aligned the tapestries, giving a bad superimposed map. They left and returned to Atman Tor. This took two days.

At Atman Tor, Sir Raloth went down and had an audience with Emperor Isaxar the Vile. Isaxar, impressed with Raloth, decided at that moment to stop building his pyramid. He lied and said he did not need the nexus and agreed to leave the site for three days. He ordered his troops and workers to leave.

Amren and Ragnar built the needed Glyph and moved the Nexus out into the woods somewhere. They then traveled, via the monoliths, to the Tower Site and moved that Nexus to Atman Tor. Dovinyae and the others returned and they traveled to Neria’s Castle and she agreed to guard the former Nexus of Atman Tor. They moved the Nexus to her castle. They estimated they had a month or so before Grindill discovered the change in the Nexuses.

The guardians were awarded 400,000 exp.
