Following the events of Gelspar’s crisis, it is evident to Kendrick that to wrestle control of Adriel from the Council, he will need to uncover their secrets. Elise has returned with news of a sanctuary in the sky, hidden away in a dense cloud of miasma. She reports that it used to be a facility of some sort, most likely under Council control. Today, the Sky Sanctuary is nothing more than an ancient pile of lightning-blasted stone, a ruin long since lost to the wilds and the storms of time. But the Sanctuary was once one of the most majestic buildings in Axia, a grand edifice constructed in the eye of a constant storm. The site remains one of the few places where the Miasma parts to reveal blue skies above.

Whatever used to be there has long since been destroyed, but perhaps, you might find something useful there and in the process, discover the identity, the history, and the fall of it's noble keeper.

Kendrick Maddox believes the Sky Sanctuary could hold the key to Adriel. He’s sending you to find out why the Council of Nobles had it built. There may be answers hidden amongst the rubble – or at least something valuable enough to make the expedition worth your while. Can you tame the grotesque menagerie, or will the wilderness claim you as well?
