The Return

Let me first say that you have my sympathies. I see that although you have made it back onto the prime plane, you have unfortunately suffered a dire loss. By your chatter I can discern that my assumptions were indeed correct. You have been in the Feywild, though it seems from your confusion that you must have slipped awkwardly back into the stream of time. I know it may come as a shock to you, but you have been away nearly six months by our calenders here. I will let you catch up on my older posts without rehashing it again, but it is needless to say that the world has grown grimmer by leaps since your departure. I can only hope that you are close to Thunderspire and some answers from Sage Maltheon.

On another note, your return has prompted at least one answer that we have been searching for, though it was obviously at a great cost. We have suspected for some time that the souls of the departed were lingering on this plane after their demise. Rumors floated about like dust on the winds that people had seen their loved ones in the fire light. Unfortunately it seems that with the passing of Cade and “Neve” we now see that this may indeed be true. Our understanding is that they manifested somewhat differently due to the infusion of the flame, or whatever fell magic caused the flame, into their bodies. Judging by the effect that the flame has had on the souls we have seen, it seems that that energy allowed them to coalesce or shall we say manifest more strongly. Again, I am sad for your loss.

We have much to consider here, but please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
