They've <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?440504-The-Abyss-sealed-the-drow-freed-the-campaign-reaches-its-climax" target="_blank">sealed the Abyss</a> and <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?353496-First-time-godslayers-PCs-kill-Torog" target="_blank">ended Torog's control over the souls of the Underdark</a>.The invoker/wizard has, as his final target, Miska the Wolf-Spider. They had to <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?400493-Session-Report-hijinks-in-the-Elemental-Chaos" target="_blank">release Miska from the Crystal of Ebon Flame into the wilds of Carceri so that they could trap Ygorl, the Slaad Lord of Entropy, within it</a>. Killing Miska will also enable recovery of the seventh piece of the Rod of Seven Parts. Erathis wants this to happen, because the Lattice of Heaven can only be made when every broken thing has been unbroken,  but some of the PCs - especially the drow sorcerer (formally a Demonkin Adept but now a highly muti-classed bard of Corellon) - are worried about this on two counts: that the Lattice of Heaven will impose a stasis on the world that will stifle all change and life; and the reassembling the Rod will trigger the Dusk War, as per an ancient prophecy, hence potentially brining the entire world to an end.This may turn out to be the ultimate question of the campaign, and could be the one that finally splits the party.</blockquote>
