Along the way, he encountered something familiar: agility handholds obstacles. Thirsting for more information, Sharp-shin remained to open the remaining seals for even further information. It turned out that once opened, Seren had allowed the memories of each seal to reveal its information to everyone, so Sharp-shin learned that what Iorwerth had claimed was true: there was a fragment of Seren hidden inside the Temple of Light. Sharp-shin touched the opened seal, and a memory of Seren emerged from it. Lord Iorwerth had already been to the library before though, and he'd managed to break one of its 9 seals. However only one person could reach it, so Sharp-shin was chosen for the job. First, Sharp-shin had to search for Lord Amlodd and Lady Trahaearn.Īmlodd had the knowledge to be able to reach the source of the information: Prifddinas was hidden inside a crystal seed, but its grand library which held the seals of information could be accessed via teleporting. Baxtorian wanted all the elven elders to return, so that their knowledge could be used to accomplish this. So, Sharp-shin and Arianwyn ventured back to the waterfall dungeon, to turn Baxtorian from stone back to flesh.īaxtorian didn't know about Seren's fragment, but he did confirm that the method which Iorwerth had used to gain his information was legitimate, so the elven rebellion wanted to check if the information was legitimate as well. To verify Iorwerth's claims, it was decided that the king of the elves, Baxtorian, would be consulted on the matter, as he'd known Seren better than anyone. In particular, the focus concentrated on what Lord Iorwerth had said before: that his arrangement with King Lathas had been a ruse, that rather than trying to summon Zamorak, he was trying to summon Seren, claiming that he'd learned from the grand library of Prifddinas that a fragment of Seren was still alive, somewhere in the Temple of Light. But before he could decide what to do with them, Arianwyn and his rebellious elves of Lletya rescued the two and took them back to Lletya, where they held a meeting on what to do about Iorwerth. It wasn't easy, but the rebellion outnumbered the king's army, and he was captured, and summarily executed afterwards.Īt this point, the story shifted from the plague in Ardougne, to the elves of Tirannwn: Lord Iorwerth had an arrangement with King Lathas to freely operate under Ardougne to uncover the Temple of Light, which was disrupted by the rebellion's success.ĭuring the king's execution, Iorwerth's elves kidnapped Sharp-shin and Elena, and took them back to Tirannwn. So, Sharp-shin used the disguise to collect extra taxes and burn food storages (under the excuse that it was rotten with plague), all in the king's name.Īfter the rebellion grew enough, it was time to attack the king's forces: the mourners of West Ardougne and knights of East Ardougne. Together with the other rebels, a plan was made to commit deeds in the king's name which would anger the citizens of Ardougne and convince them to join the rebellion.
His father wanted her freed, so Sharp-shin donned a guard's disguise and smuggled a chemical to Elena in the prison, which helped her escape.Įlena wasn't one to just hide though: she wanted to overthrow the king and free the West Ardougne of its fake plague story. It all started with something that seemed rather trivial: Elena, who had previously helped Sharp-shin uncover the truth behind the plague story of West Ardougne, had been imprisoned for spreading the truth around. I underestimated two things though: its length (it was even longer than I thought) and its tone (hence the above title).
I knew beforehand that Song of the Elves would be a very, very long quest, so because I wanted to experience it in full in a single day, I had to reserve a good date for it before Sharp-shin would undertake it.
