Tuath'de Coven

Synopsis

Tasuil and Shyla are here with you to help find Lanaria, the Queen of the Unicorns. You find Lanaria, but Queen Una has already taken her horn, making her an Alicorn. There are methods to both save and kill Lanaria. You then meet up with Queen Una who is trying to bind Ankhet. Queen Una also has a similacrum of The Green Mother, Nathairacha, that she's about to sacrifice and gain her power. If you succeed you kill the simulacrum of Nathairacha and foil Queen Una's plan of taking control of Ankhet. Shyla believes Una to have the power to bind Ankhet, but this remains to be seen.

​Entrance

Tasuil The Tuath'de have kidnapped the unicorn Lanaria. She is the leade mare of Wyredod, their queen. Tasuil We couldn't find her among the sacrifices of Mael Salach. Tasuil: We are very scared that something terrible will happened to her. Shyla: Both fae and Tuath'de have secret paths, magical, hidden from sight throughout the forest. Shyla: This appears to be a path of the Tuath'de Queen, Una. Shyla: What dire plan she intends for Lanaria, I can't say, but we do need to find her.

First encounter with wall

Tasuil: What is this? Shyla: A wall of thorns' powerful, even magic of the Coven. Shyla: We will not be able to progress beyond here. Tasuil: What do we do? I smell Lanaria on the other side. Shyla: Ascended! Search around for more of the Coven. They must be working rituals to block our passage. Shyla: They might be creating foci; sacrificing creatures and transforming them into hideous monstrosities. Shyla: If we can stop the rituals, or destroy the foci, we can progress. Tasuil: Maybe I can just fly over? Shyla: No- Tasuil don't. You're going to- Tasuil: Ow! ... That really hurts. Shyla: Come here, let me heal that.

Back at wall

Shyla: Destroying the foci weakened the wall of thorns. Shyla: Tasuil tried to claw his way through. Tasuil: Still too painful.
