Fortified by the souls under our belts, we delve deeper into the White Void. There we find Neriscyrlas by her phylactery. This time, she is rather conversational, and we discuss her place and intentions. She had hoped to use the phylactery to defy the power of the gods, who, she was aware, had ensnared and destroyed other ancient dragons so as to protect their secrets. Silver-tongued Ryndara is able to play off their mutual dislike for the gods, and suggests that Neriscyrlas attack Rymrgand directly. The dragon, to Ryndara’s surprise, takes to the suggestion and sets off at once.
