While I can't say that, I have experienced a lot in life. How long has it been again, hmm," the old deep gnome muses. "Two-hundred years, three." He shakes his head. "It doesn't matter. I will try to remember what I can to help you." He looks around as if searching for someone. "It is worth it to meet another Sonnthord before my life finally comes to an end." He nods his head and chuckles again, "Yes, definitely closer to three hundred."</p><p></p><p></p><p>"I would not hope for one of the Majestics to intervene unless all of the Thunder Lands are endangered, but dragons can be unpredictable, even when they follow the Tenets, as you druids call those strictures.

The tabaxi and their dread god, Tu, had just returned from 1,001 years of banishment placed upon them by Mirella for Tu's actions during the Divinity War. The tabaxi went on a rampage across the Storm Peninsula. They attacked Avion, Nasundria, and all of the city-states of the Storm Peninsula. But, when the tabaxi attacked Anthmoor, one of the Majestics, the bronze dragon named Nethmalinor came to the city's aid.

That is how he became the demon lord he is now, Wyrknari Vok."</p><p></p><p>Mazz muses. "Some even think the death of Travathian Dragonguard of Thallin is linked to The Transformation, but I think his son Varath was just an evil opportunist who chose to murder his father and take the throne in the chaos of that year."</p><p></p><p>The old gnome blinks and then looks back to Caerth. "I don't think you should hope for the Majestics to get directly involved, but you could travel to the Halfling Woods and ask Summerwind for her advice.

"If you go see her, I'd like you to take her another letter I wrote and never got around to sending her. Plus, I owe her a book that I found about trees."</p><p></p><p>"As for Thunderback, I don't think you should expect too much from him. He is stubborn and doesn't like people.
