The Lost Elven City Found

The Lost Elven City
COI stood before an archway of stones laid into the wall at the tunnels end. Upon walking into what looked to be a solid wall the archway, Sir Tyrion taking first passage, within the party found themselves transported through the ancient elemental barrier and into the city save for Ward Binarius. Before transversing the barrier themselves, Eleanor and Voriel both saw their ally hit the wall and dissolve, as though he was made of fine dust, causing the two to falter as Voriel attempted to mentally contact Ward and the rest of the party.

The rest of the group arrived upon a stone circle, surrounded by draping foliage, a surrounding city overtaken by years of wild growth, and a torrential downpour of rain that came from a seemingly impassible canopy. Up above a constant rumble of thunder resounded.

Ahead the circle gave way to a path, mostly obstructed by the curtains of vines and leave, though a pair of large dragon statues stood on either side, looking to any approaching on the path.

Ward was alive, but did not arrive with the rest of the group, instead he found himself upon a throne of wood grown from the room itself and surrounded by crystalline pane walls, only broken by root-like fittings. One surface lit up to show a drake made of branches and leaves. The drake greeted Ward by name, referring to herself as the “Artifical Magical Intelligence”, or AMI for short, and asked why he had returned.

Time Ward
In moments Ward had gathered he was in an extra dimensional space created by his future self. He had apparently come back in time and established this space along with a few precautions for COI.
