Session 34- Dreams Reveal the Duskward Concord, 

An Evening Star Lodge Faction

2/14/2026

  • Before Danika and Telefe were awoken to fight the Morlocks, 

    they both experienced dreams of an Evening Star Lodge party 

    led by Radomir Vesely.  Danika dreamt of their visit to the 

    Flaming Goat in Marlinko; Telefe dreamt of their aborted attempt 

    to cross the Invisible Causeway.

  • When they arrive at the ridge across from the 

    Spire of Iron and Crystal, they see half erased chalk sigils of 

    Habeka.  Radomir introduces himself and his party to Danika 

    and hers.  Danika and Telefe had previously warned their 

    members to be silent when they meet anyone.

  • A temporary alliance is formed when Radomir and Ilva 

    signal their intention to save Nattias, who had been Ilva’s 

    mentor and the mentor of Radomir’s brother.  Nattias had 

    been influential in the Evening Star Lodge before 

    “falling into the Void” joining the Starry Void Lodge.

  • Telefe gives a 10 minute warning for the Invisible Causeway’s 

    time of operation.

  • Danika leads the party across.  Torquil attempts the tri-split path, 

    but Danika makes him turn back to wait on the ridge in relative 

    safety.

  • They eventually enter the Spire at the highest egg chamber and 

    they end the session in room #1.  Zora and Tomasz wait on the 

    intermediary platform with rope to aid in climbing.

Session 31- A Night at the Spider Ranch

1/10/2026

  • Danika has brought the kids pantry staples like salt, coffee, honey, 

    pickles, and fresh produce, but they’re most excited to receive 

    Flaka’s scones.

  • Danika asks if Torquil can lead her and her team through the swamp 

    most efficiently.

  • Telefe sees an Omen of the Starry Void (the Iron Conjunction); 

    Danika follows up by pointing out another (the Mother Weeps Light).

  • Emi sits the night watch with no encounters; Inga’s early morning 

    watch is capped by spotting a party of 4 or 5 quietly heading 

    south/southeast.

  • Zora has a dream.  She is running on all fours through a forest 

    of iron trees.  Ahead she sees a massive bear shaped silhouette 

    carved from crystal, cracked but standing.  Leaking pale starlight.  

    An invisible bridge stretches ahead of her, but every step she 

    takes causes the bridge to fracture behind her, leaving no retreat.

  • Danika sends a message to have several more kids from 

    Ctyri Ctvrt’s patrol come to support the Spider Ranch Kids.

    a while and believes it shouldn’t exist.

  • One urgent piece of info is that an invisible causeway that leads to 

    the Spire is only corporeal and usable 3 nights a year.  She

  • Telefe has had dreams where Nattias talks to her about the Spire 

    and his jailer, Iomnogoron.
