[i][h3]The Vale[/h3][b]The Crypt,[/b]
[b]Currently[/b][/I]

With a thunderous ring, like a tremendous golden bell struck, a great light poured from the restored alter and dimmed calmly to an hour of dawn. Its warm radiance, welcome from the dead of night just moments before, shattered the army of darkness; all their forms instantly vanished before it, destroyed perhaps, or more likely banished. As the soothing glow raced over the fallen, no more their fate hanging in the balance, it met the light just within the doorway, the mirror image to it. All things restored in balance and harmony, the penetrating sound, one that did not reverberate as it much should have in the confines, suddenly raised with it all the ghosts of the defeated.

Soon ethereal spirits, like those they fought before, took shape and stood in tremendous number crowding the [i]Hall's[/i] sacred crypt. Countless men and women of heroic stature like Valmjr, glimmering with echoes of life after death observed them in utter silence, evidently restored too after their own defeat at the hands of the ones who sought to extinguish the light. Without protest, they looked from the woman atop the steps, the flame illuminating her figure, then on to the three men prone upon the floor who were rousing to their feet, then to the woman and gnome and beyond. They nodded once and dispersed, content with what they witnessed and seeing no need for another battle, winking out as they turned to leave one by one.

Katia, in the aftermath of her vision, found the [i]Flame of Dawn[/i] to no longer sting, its drifting heat waking silently before her as a reminder of the impossible thing she bore witness to, pleased to be returned to its seat. It was not the fire that spoke to her, but something behind it and not in the literal sense at that, just something it was tethered to across an unfathomable distance. The sister [i]Fire of Dusk[/i], its companion, glimmered and shown in almost mirrored image from the room beyond as they seemed to dance in time together, two halves of the same whole.

As for the figure who the lone templar squared off against, the imposing leonine knight, he stood himself upright and lowered his weapon.

"It is done. Your companions have restored the order to a world where there is no good and no evil, only conflict." His voice restrained, calm and relieved, he shifted his eyes from Theodore on to Wick who was slowly lifting herself off the timeless stone.

It was true now that the cloaked figure mentioned it, the air filled with only one indecipherable energy, one of passion and aimless ambition, the same force that seemed to compel and ask conflict and mindless revelry at the same time. There was no overwhelming sense of good or evil in spite of what their hearts might well have demanded them to think, but it did well to explain the hostility and chaos of everything. This realm, this Ysgard, lived for the thrill of battle, thick as a fog almost.

Sheathing the sword across his back, the [i]Green Man[/i] turned to move, to apparently depart without any other word.

[hider=Effects]
Katia has delivered the golden fire to the altar, which has lit the room. The [i]Shadows[/i] are instantly banished, defeated by the light, with their magical darkness vanquished as well. This effect, like that applied to Katia when she fell to 0 or less hit points, is [i]dawn[/i]. All characters have now benefit from a long rest, meaning their spells for the day are restored, their hit points and hit dice recovered, and all other benefits associated are acquired.

The combat has ended, leaving the party successful. All of them are immediately advanced to 5th character level, with the bare minimum amount of experience needed. In addition, they have all gained a new unique spell that is usable once per long rest. Any class using old [i]Unearthed Arcana[/i] material that received an update in [i]Xanathar's Guide to Everything[/i] must now make those changes.
