Session 13 — The Whimsy Weave and the Obelisks
A flashback session transports the party to an earlier time during the Whimsy Weave Night festival. Magical obelisks have been mysteriously placed throughout the celebration, and their true purpose becomes clear: they are draining the life force from a sacred Sun Pedal Tree, an ancient and holy plant central to the festival’s spirituality.
The obelisks are sophisticated in design and technology—investigations trace their origin to House Kestra or Kestra-adjacent technology. The identity of who placed them remains unknown, but the malicious intent is undeniable. The festival’s joy is being systematically siphoned away by an unknown conspiracy. The party returns to the present with this troubling knowledge, understanding that the battery theft is not an isolated event but part of a larger, coordinated agenda.
