-The Companions have shown their worth to [[:npc:king_lysander_iii|King Lysander III]] of [[:ekandor:Valishdal]]. In return the king hires them to escort a trade caravan that he is sending to the neighboring Kingdom of Dar’Amkul. This large caravan is destined to the fabled Gem City of Izeh and is loaded with precious cargo that the King hopes will trade well in the far-off Kingdom. His own Kingdom had suffered from a year of plague and the gems he could get from his trade is much needed to buy food for the populace in the coming years. +The Companions have shown their worth to [[:npc:king_lysander_iii|King Lysander III]] of [[:ekandor:valishdal:valishdal|Valishdal]].

 The Companions were held up by Crown Prince Hafadi as they were trying to seek approval of passage. After two weeks of being held up they are finally approved of travel and quickly set out across the desert. The travel is dangerous and long, costing the lives of several of the caravanners. The Companions face off against lizardmen, Giant scorpions and desert winds that blow burning sand. The Companions were held up by Crown Prince Hafadi as they were trying to seek approval of passage.

 Outraged, Karath confronts the Prelate about this discovery. Unperturbed, the Prelate explains that every slave had a choice. Become a slave for the Gem City, and in exchange, after their years of servitude they will automatically become a citizen of the city. If they wish to be a shop owner, a shop will be built for them. If they wish to go to the University, they will get free tuition. Furthermore, the Prelate tells them, the chains of sleep are a necessity. It channels the slave’s energy into the protective barriers that surround the city, protecting it from the evil creatures that live in the nearby desert. Outraged, Karath confronts the Prelate about this discovery.

-In the battle it is revealed that the Prelate is a blue dragon polymorphed into a human. When the battle starts in his throne room, he transforms, and the party must battle him and his house guards.

 The celebration lasts for several days before peace and tranquility is restored to the Gem City of Izeh. Atonement uses his powerful magical abilities to transport The Companions back to the city of Mi’kal with the survivors of the trade caravan and several chests of gems for the Kingdom of Valishdal. Then, knowing that the wards that had protected the city are now broken, heads off into the burning desert sands to make peace with a dragon that haunts the desert. The celebration lasts for several days before peace and tranquility is restored to the Gem City of Izeh.
