Note: This plotline currently waiting a title...

With the fall of the Cult of Styx, Lithos the Titan of Earth has lost his undead minions. Unfortunately, he has been able to send pieces of himself into our realm in an attempt to escape his ancient prison...

Mission 48, February 23, 2010 - Stratos
Minister Grey informed the Spies that the Skull of Mondain had been muttering things, specifically "Aid the Mountain King. Bring the dagger to the apprentice." Since the Skull is an evil artifact, it was decided any daggers found would not be handed over to anyone other than Magnus. The Minister then updated everyone on the Xenve An-amo-lem ruins; the Royal Restorers had manages to salvage several of the damaged scrolls and books in the library. Thus new information was available.

Magnus then sent the Spies to help protect Ter Mur from Void creatures which had begun swarming around the pyramid south of the Royal City. After the creatures were beaten back, a 'Fragment of Lithos' rose from the ground - the true threat revealed. The spies fought long and hard against the Fragment to emerge victorious.

It was then that she appeared, the mysterious Kasumi. She promised to help the Spies battle Lithos if they helped her reassemble the Breath of Air, a piece of which has been discovered on the Fragment. The Spies took her to Xenve An-amo-lem where the Cult had been trying to raise Lithos. The newly restored tomes furthered their understanding...

The Spies went to the great Central Dungeon of Ilshenar where it was rumored that Lothian, the Necromancer of Lithos, had been interred with one of the missing pieces. His crypt was quickly found, and his lich-like form destroyed. The piece was recovered along with the Athame of Lithos along with a book.

Prophecy, by Lothian

Vividos was swiftly located at the The Magical Light in Vesper where he worked selling the implements of magic. He knew nothing of Lothian, Lithos, or the other Titans; and appeared to be a rather novice mage. The Athame was withheld from the obvious 'Apprentice'...

Kasumi then led the Spies to Hythloth where the 'Fallen Lord of the Ankallem' held another piece of the Breath of Air. With all three pieces in her possession she brought the Spies back to Xenve An-amo-lem to reunite them and destroy the Cultist Contraption which had allowed Lithos partial access to our world. Unsurprisingly, she revealed that she was actually Stratos, Titan of Air. She also promised to teach Vividos the ways of Theurgy so he could help reinforce Lithos' prison.

Mission 50, March 9, 2010 - Got the Book
Minister Grey sent the Spies back to the Xenve An-amo-lem ruins to complete the task Stratos had begun the week prior.

Daemons stood in the small valley containing the entry into the ruins in a futile attempt to block the Spies. Once inside they continued to battle daemonic hordes all the way to the teleport generator room where they encountered Benevolence and Stratos.

Stratos told the Spies she would journey ahead and they would need to fight their way to her. More daemons set upon the Spies as soon as the Titan of Air completed the ritual to activate the generator.

The Spies continued to fight through the gargoyle brother’s bed chamber, the Infinity Room where the Circle trapping Benevolence was kept, and to the Fault of Lithos where the Principia Daemonis was kept.

Within the Fault they met Bartholomew the daemon who demanded that the book be turned over to him in exchange for the ruined fortress. When the Spies laughed at his absurdity he attacked them. When the battle ended, the daemon scholar laid dead – a temporary condition for an entity of his power.

With the daemons death, several shards of Lithos attempted to escape into the realm – only to be cut down by the Spies. Minister Grey arrived to take possession of the Principia Daemonis and to see that Benevolence was freed.

The Benevolence entertained the Spies with tales of ancient fae artifacts that had been left to the pixies of Ilshenar, and the kitsune of the woods of Homare-jima. She indicated they would be important for the evening’s mission.

When Minister Grey arrived from a meeting with the Queen he gave the Spies free reign to investigate the odd things noted in a security briefing prepared by James.

Security Briefing, by James

The Lycaeum was besieged by daemonic forces who were attempting to wrest the Principia Daemonis from the scholars trying to decipher it. Once they had been defeated, Harriet the Scribe informed the Spies that her fellow scribe, Edmund, had been abducted and flown away.

Orders, by Buldur

Following a book left by the leader of the assault, the Spies tracked Edmund to the Cauldron of Rebirth in Ilshenar which the daemons had apparently recaptured. Once the daemons were dead and Edmund secured, he informed the Spies that he had deciphered the daemon’s language and would work on a dictionary.
