(You suddenly awake in Uchawi’s Hearth, a safe haven’t created by Uchawi. As Uchawi stands in front of you)

Uchawi: “Hush now my dove. My hands will let you fly once more. You gave your life for me, I give it back, true to our pact. Azra wants to muzzle magic. He must fall so that Talamh can flourish again. I am barely free, his control of magic is too strong. (She holds her round stomach with both arms) My own body will not give birth as long as he rules. You'll have to weaken him. Claim his great towers, disrupt the stream of his power.”

“When I created this safe haven, I ensured the Ritual of Fire would be maintained here. We need both its power & its inextinguishable hunger.”

“This hidden sanctuary was shaped to regrow the order of the Root Sisters. Every step you make on the land channels its life force to my tree, the Radiance of Talamh. (She shows you an ancient tree) My tree is famished. Here in Grandery lies many crystals to feed it. My heart lies in this tree, our connection with Talamh. The roots of my Rituals. Feed it crystals & your powers will blossom.”

“Our bond is growing, & so are my powers. Even when you fail, you bring us strength. This is a contest of immortals, Azra will bring life back to his vassals… until you reach him & deliver Talamh - & myself - from his grasp!”

(She sends you on your way) “Go now & strike!”
