Major Story Arcs

Ividor is the senior master magician who works in the royal Castle of Kiros. He works with Master Lysanthir and the Queen. He is one of the oldest Elves and was alive during the last major war.

Either Lysanthir or the Queen send an assassin to kill Phaedra Essex, a Black Cloak detective who is working on the murder of the Queen’s son, Freyal III of Sidra and his girlfriend Dace. She is stabbed with a Dracona Dagger but she survives, thanks in part due to her part-Dracona heritage and in part due to a magic healing spell that her old friend and palace magician Valorie cast on her for a different injury earlier that day. Lysanthir and Ividor summon Valorie to find out what kind of magic she used, to figure out how she survived (it is unclear if Ividor knew who attacked her). Valorie explains that it was a spell she invented, and Ividor is impressed.

Later, Phaedra seeks help from her estranged but prominent father, Phinneas II of Thane. Phinneas has been talking with Ividor and believes he can help. He goes to get him.

Phinneas brings back Ividor. Ividor shows them a Taka that he found underneath the Castle. He doesn’t know exactly what the Queen is doing, but knows it has to do with the Taka. They all agree to find out what’s going on. Pax and Phaedra break into the Castle and Ividor, Devaki, and Phinneas make some preparations and arrive there later.

Pax and Phaedra see Lysanthir with a machine that sucks the magic out of the Taka and uses it to run the city. Lysanthir finds them and pins them to a wall with some magic. He plans to run Phaedra through the machine when the Queen arrives. They argue, after Phaedra tells the Queen that Lysanthir saw Freyal and Dace take the poison and that he dumped her body.

While they’re distracted, Ividor, Valorie, Phinneas, and Devaki rescue Phaedra and Pax from Lysanthir’s magic. They all fight the Queen and Lysanthir in a huge magic battle.

Phaedra is about to destroy the Taka machine when Lysanthir knocks her off the cliff with a magic explosion. Ividor collapses and dies, having been stabbed by a Dracona Dagger.

Phaedra destroys the machine. The Queen and Lysanthir are put in a Supermax Prison. Phinneas becomes the new Prime Minister.
