Synopsis
The Light Bringers make their last minute preparations to face the challenge of Zohvana in their holding cell. They are taken to the 9th circle of hell: Zohvana, a demi-plane of nightmares. Estar, Orianna and the Council look on from a platform. It’s announced that the fight will be a fair 6 on 6, spells like Wish and Invulnerability are banned. If anyone dies here their souls cannot be recovered. "By the old rules" Estar must bring his fighters out in waves.

Estar summons his two first fighters, each fighter hand picked to provoke an emotional response from a Light Bringer. First on the field is Seian's mother who is abruptly stabbed by a black Dragonborn. This Dragonborn announces to everyone's astonishment that he is Seian’s father: Kresgar. Seian's mother's body is nowhere to be seen.

Ted, the Paladin who betrayed the party early in their journey, killing Jeidobii’s sister appears before Jeidobii. It’s revealed that Estar has restored them to life for this fight. Next to arrive is Nevres the green, black mega-chromatic dragon, to provoke Denahi.

Seian attacks Kresgar recklessly asking where his long-missing mother is. When Seian strikes him down, Kresgar laughs, taunting Seian saying “now you’ll never find her.” Torq decapitates Ted with the very axe he had once taken from Ted’s body.

Viktor Keiran arrives on the scene facing down Cerise, to her apparent delight. Jeidobii strikes the finishing blow on Nevres in his black lion form as he shoots a sunbeam from his mouth. Finally Jaren arrives on the scene taunting Torq and all the Light Bringers who fought them, reminding them that the souls of their families are still lost.

The fight takes a difficult turn, Jaren transforms into a great beast, knocks out Seian and swallows both Cerise and Denahi whole. Denahi shoots lightning from the inside of Jaren’s body and Torq takes a mighty swing of his axe destroying Jaren and freeing Cerise and Denahi. The situation becomes even more dire as Viktor imprisons Torq and feeblemind’s Jeidobii. Cerise manages to hide from Viktor’s counterspells to cast 9th level Shatter, ending him and freeing Torq.

Moments after Viktor falls Estar summons his final champion to the horror of Orianna and the Council: Vulraak.
