The Angel of Irons conspiracy[fn 1] was a plot carried out by the Angel of Irons cult in 836 PD to release the eponymous entity they worshiped. The cambion leader of the cult, Obann devised the plan by charming or inducting key figures in the Dwendalian Empire and Kryn Dynasty, using the ongoing War of Ash and Light as a smokescreen. The plot was discovered and combated by the Mighty Nein, a member of whom, Yasha Nydoorin, was abducted and magically mind-controlled by Obann to carry out his plan. This plan involved releasing and magically dominating several supposedly un-killable champions of the Betrayer Gods and use them to break the shackles imprisoning the Angel of Irons. During this time, the Mighty Nein learned that the Angel of Irons was actually a false identity used by Tharizdun, the Chained Oblivion. Ultimately the cult was defeated by the Mighty Nein in a battle within the Chantry of the Dawn in Rexxentrum on 13 Thunsheer, 836 PD.

Background[edit | edit source]

Formation of the cult[edit | edit source]

The cambion Obann once served the demon lord Graz'zt as his Master of Wills, but was "shamed and destroyed" after failing Graz'zt in some way. Obann however survived, and was contacted by Tharizdun in the guise of an entity called the Angel of Irons. This "Angel" gave Obann a new purpose, find the means to release the Angel from its prison by corrupting specific fanes and gathering undying warriors. In exchange, Obann would be given an "undying future".[1] Obann never knew the true identity of the Angel of Irons, nor that his machinations were actually working towards releasing Tharizdun from beyond the Divine Gate.[2]

The cult was formed around the year 795 PD, according to records kept by the Cobalt Soul.[3] Several high-ranking individuals were members of the cult, but due to the nature of Obann's mind-control magic, it is unknown how many were willing servants of the cult, if any at all. Among these were Vence Nuthaleus, annex to Ludinus Da'leth of the Cerberus Assembly, Cardinal Respa of the Chantry of the Dawn, and Taskhand Adeen Tasithar of the Kryn Dynasty.

The Orphanmaker[edit | edit source]

In Xhorhas in 834 PD, visions from Tharizdun lead Obann to Yasha Nydoorin,[4] an aasimar member of the Dolorav tribe whose celestial heritage allowed her to more easily return from death.[fn 2] Obann preyed upon Yasha's grief at the recent death of her wife Zuala, offering her a release from her pain. Yasha took his offer, and fell under his control for a time, engaging in destruction and various violent acts at Obann's behest, some of which she did not later recall. Yasha later broke free from Obann's charm months later after encountering a ruined temple of Kord.[5]

The conspiracy[edit | edit source]

Abyssal incursions[edit | edit source]

In 836 PD, several months after the War of Ash and Light began, the Angel of Irons cult began enacting their plan to release their "Angel of Irons". Vence Nuthaleus constructed rudimentary Abyssal Anchors, magical devices that over time create portals to the Abyss by degrading the veil between the Planes of Existence.[6][7] These Anchors were hidden in cities across both sides of Wynandir, such as Zadash and Pride's Call in the Dwendalian Empire,[8] and in Asarius and the stone giant fortress Braan in Xhorhas. The chaos sowed by these Abyssal incursions empowered Tharizdun as the god of destruction and would be used to distract from the cult's other plans, and the blame for their installation was placed at the opposite sides of the war seeking to sabotage each other.[9]

During their travels in Xhorhas to rescue Yeza Brenatto from capture by the Kryn, the Mighty Nein encountered an Abyssal portal in Asarius from which several shoosuvas had emerged, which they defeated.[10] Telling this to Lady Zethriss Olios, she hired them to investigate ongoing restlessness and bad dreams in the city.[11] The party discovered that they were caused by a succubus and incubus,[12] which they chased into a cavern beneath a well where the portal was, defeating them alongside a minotaur-like demon knight named Otaath. Inside they found an Abyssal Anchor, which they brought to Lady Zethriss as proof.[13]

Shortly afterward, the Mighty Nein were hired by Professor Tuss Waccoh to remove a group of stone giants from the Deepriver Mining Camp, where after parleying with the giants' leader Soorna, they learned that the giants had been chased out of their home, the Braan by demons.[14] With Soorna's help, the Nein cleared the Braan of several babaus, chasmes, and dybbuks, and found another Abyssal Anchor hidden in the fortress. From this, Beauregard began to notice a pattern and theorized that a third party was using the War of Ash and Light as a distraction for an invasion.[15]

Ambush at the Overcrow Apothecary[edit | edit source]

Attached to the Abyssal Anchor found at the Braan was a scrap of blue cloth, which Jester used to Scry on it's owner. This Scry lead to a vision of Vence Nuthaleus speaking with Obann using a sending stone. Vence told him that he had acquired the emblem necessary to open the King's Cage, the temple used to imprison Torog's champion the Laughing Hand, and arranged to have it sent to Obann at the Overcrow Apothecary within two weeks.[16] While the Nein didn't recognize Vence or know who he was speaking to, they discovered that the Overcrow was within Rosohna[17] and made plans to be there at the handoff.

On 8 Horisal, 836 PD, the Mighty Nein staked out the Overcrow Apothecary from an abandoned house, expecting to see Vence (or "Blondie", as they've been calling him). In the morning, Obann arrived in disguise as a drow, accompanied by a well armed hobgoblin.[18] Nott sneaked inside while invisible, only barely avoiding being caught by the hobgoblin guard. A dragonborn arrived on horseback, having been hired by Vence out of Talonstadt to deliver the emblem,[19] and made the handoff to Obann. He mentioned he would be going to Bazzoxan, which was overheard by Nott.[20] As the dragonborn left, Nott Messaged Caleb to stop her, causing her invisibility to end and a fight to break out.[21]

In the battle, the dragonborn was killed,[22] and Obann saw and recognized Yasha, calling her "Orphanmaker", though as he was still in drow disguise Yasha didn't recognize him.[23] Obann escaped out the back of the Overcrow while the hobgoblin stayed behind to cover his escape, where he was also killed.[24] Caduceus cast Locate Creature on Obann and found he was traveling north. Jester Sent to Obann, trying to deceive him into returning, which he saw through and invited them to follow him, telling the Nein to "bring her".[25] The party beheaded the corpses of the hobgoblin and dragonborn to interrogate them via Speak with Dead the next day, then took their moorbounders and traveled north towards Bazzoxan through the Barbed Fields.[26]

The King's Cage[edit | edit source]

While resting beneath the Arbor Exemplar for the night, Jester Scried on Obann again, where she saw his drow disguise searching a mountainside.[27] Two days later reached Bazzoxan, she cast Sending to him, telling him that the Orphanmaker had arrived and asked where to find him. He responded that he was five miles west, told them to find the hidden entrance, and that he was waiting.[28] There they found the entrance opened by the emblem and followed Obann's footprints to an underground courtyard filled with angel statues weeping blood, and an adamantine door freshly opened.

Entering the King's Cage, the Mighty Nein fought through the various rooms inside, starting with a swarm of demonfeed spiders, descended the Radiant Stairs and its invisible stalker guardian, and battled the zombies of the Discard Pit, before resting for the night on one side of a wide chasm with a chain bridge.[29] Upon waking they crossed the bridge over the chasm filled with gibbering mouthers and entered the Mirrored Halls, where they once again found Obann's footprints, but they lead to a dead end at a sealed door. Obann himself nowhere in sight.[30] Investigating the mirrors, they were attacked by doppelganger reflections and found a magic dagger that opened the door.[31]

Inside the Mighty Nein found a sealed and chained tomb, at which point Obann entered behind them, having been hidden while Invisible in the Mirrored Halls.[32] Obann explained that the tomb was that of the Laughing Hand and that he was following the Angel of Irons' designs by coming to the King's Cage to unleash the Hand. He asked why the Nein followed him, who retorted that they were curious why Obann knew Yasha. Obann told them that Yasha once worked for him following the Angel, revealed his true cambion form (which Yasha recognized from dreams she recently had), and began to read from a tablet in order to release the Hand. The Nein failed to prevent him, and the Laughing Hand burst from his tomb.[33] In the fight, Obann was killed, but in his death throes he called out for Yasha to avenge him, re-activating the dormant charm he placed on her years ago.[34] Recognizing they couldn't win the fight, the Nein fled from the King's Cage, locking the now turned Yasha and the Laughing Hand inside the tomb.[35]

After retreating to Bazzoxan, the next morning Jester Scried on Yasha where she witnessed Obann return from the Abyss where he reformed. He then told Yasha and the Hand that they would then find "the others",[36] presumably either meeting with others of the cult for finding the next undying champion to add to what Obann would call his "Unstoppable Family".[37] After warning Bright Queen Leylas Kryn via Sending of a possible attack on Bazzoxan from the Laughing Hand, not knowing what the Unstoppable Family's plans are, the Mighty Nein teleported back to Rosohna in the Lucid Bastion to speak with Leylas and her court about what had happened. The Bright Queen set Den Duendalos the task of researching the Laughing Hand,[38] and gave the Nein her blessing in traveling towards the Greying Wildlands, as Caduceus believed that fixing the broken Star Razor would aid them in defeating the Hand and Obann.[39]

Attack on the Valley Archive[edit | edit source]

Vence Nuthaleus had been unable to find information on Obann's next champion target, Jourrael the Caedogeist. Taking matters into his own hands, Obann and the rest of the Unstoppable Family went to the Valley Archive of the Cobalt Soul in the early morning of 26 Misuthar to search the records there. Obann disguised himself as an archivist, but when he was denied access, he had Yasha and the Hand attack and cut down anyone in their way. Eventually Obann found what he was looking for, a record that stated Jourrael's body was sundered, with her heart in the Lotusden and her skull entrusted to the elves of the Veluthil. He then took Yasha and the Hand and Plane Shifted away to make their escape.[40] Nine members of the Archive were killed in the attack and many more were injured, including Archivist Adon Zeenoth.[41]

The Unstoppable Family returned to Exandria shortly afterward, in the mean time having learned (possibly from Vence) that Jourrael's skull was looted from Molaesmyr's ruins and sold to the Stassman family in Kamordah by the Gentleman.[42] They traveled over the Bromkiln Hills towards Kamordah, where they invaded the Stassman's home and stole the skull, killing two members of the family in the process.

Hitting the books[edit | edit source]

Once the Mighty Nein successfully restored the Star Razor and made a brief stop in Rosohna to discuss their plans (where they learned from Dairon the identity of Vence),[43] the Mighty Nein teleported to Nicodranas with plans to go to Zadash. Jester Scried on Yasha, where she saw the Unstoppable Family's attack on the Archive, and that Yasha was crying while doing so, her body seemingly acting against her mind's own wishes. The party then made haste towards Zadash.

The Mighty Nein arrived in Zadash nearly two weeks later on 8 Dualahei, where they immediately went to the Valley Archive to assess what had happened. They met with Archivist Zeenoth, who had by then mostly recovered from being stabbed in the gut by the Laughing Hand, and showed them to the repository where Obann stole the book that had information on Jourrael. The Nein then spent some hours at the Archive conducting research.[44] Most pertinently they learned when the Angel of Irons cult was formed and noted the similar iconography between the Angel and Tharizdun,[45] who Obann was as Graz'zt's former Master of Wills,[46] the origins of Jourrael as Lolth's chosen assassin,[47] and the Laughing Hand's origin as the warrior Ganix who was transformed by Torog and had his undying heart sealed in another plane.[48] Jester Scried on Yasha again and saw the Unstoppable Family cutting through the Lotusden Greenwood to find Jourrael's, and that Obann had already recovered her skull.[49] After going on a horseback tour of the Wildemount Archives' teleportation circles, the Nein contacted Essek Thelyss to ask for his help and teleported back to Rosohna.[50]

Race to the Mouldered Grove[edit | edit source]

Essek Teleported the party to the Lotusden Greenwood, where Caduceus cast Commune and learned that Obann's quarry was to the south in a tree.[51] The party began traveling in that direction, eventually picking up the Unstoppable Family's trail, which lead them to a pair of dead hunters from Charis around dusk. By inspecting the bodies' wounds and using Speak With Dead, the Nein learned that they were three to six hours behind Obann, and that his destination was the Mouldered Grove, a cursed land home to a wraithroot tree.[52] Jester once more Scried on Yasha, seeing the party was camping and the Hand was keeping watch.[53]

The Mighty Nein debated whether to try to steal Jourrael's skull from Obann or to rush ahead and get her heart from the wraithroot tree, eventually deciding on the latter. Jester and Caleb Polymorphed into giant birds to fly over the dense canopy.[54] After two hours of flying, at the tail end of their second casting of Polymorph, the party nearly crash landed, by total coincidence, on top of the Unstoppable Family's camp.[55] Obann, spooked by the noise of the crash roused Yasha to investigate while the Nein hid in the underbrush. Nott attempted to steal the skull from Obann while invisible, but couldn't climb the tree to reach him. Unable to find the Nein but now convinced someone was present, Obann and Yasha raced towards the Mouldered Grove, while the Laughing Hand patrolled in their wake.[56]

The Mighty Nein followed them at a distance, but caught the Laughing Hand's attention. Fjord summoned a barlgura to try to distract the Hand but was unsuccessful. He then was able to successfully charm the Laughing Hand using Charm Monster, where he convinced him to call off his shadow hounds and patrol at a distance, away from the party.[57] The Nein reached the center of the Mouldered Grove shortly after Obann and Yasha. Obann reached into a hole in the wraithroot tree, successfully removing Jourrael's heart with little resistance.[58] Nott tried again to steal the skull using Mage Hand, but couldn't remove it from Obann's belt. Beau attempted to distract Yasha, while Jester cast Incite Greed to distract the wraithroot tree. Obann however flew to Yasha and simply Plane Shifted away, returning later to retrieve the Laughing Hand.[59] Their quarry escaped, Caleb cast a Teleportation Circle to take the Nein back to Rosohna.[60]

Destroying the Permaheart[edit | edit source]

Dejected from yet another defeat, the Mighty Nein regrouped at the Xhorhaus, where they discussed seeking additional allies, particularly Yussa Errenis.[61] The next day they spoke to Essek and informed him of Obann's progress, and Essek told the Nein that the Dynasty was taking the matters of the Angel of Irons cult seriously, which the Nein up to this point had been skeptical of.[62] Caleb then teleported the party to Yussa's Tidepeak Tower.[63]

Yussa's assistant Wensforth met with the party, and informed them that Yussa had been within the "Happy Fun Ball of Tricks", a device that the Nein gave him several months ago, for the past three weeks. The party gave Wensforth permission to call for help, upon which Allura Vysoren of the Tal'Dorei Council arrived and identified the ball as the Heirloom Sphere, the entry to the Folding Halls of Halas, a series of demiplanes created by the archmage Halas Lutagran during the Calamity.[64] While searching through Yussa's notes and maps of the Folding Halls' rooms, Beau found a room labeled "Permaheart", which she and Jester realized must be the sequestered heart of the Laughing Hand.[65] Allura lent the party a Mirror of Infinite Transpondence to keep in touch. The Mighty Nein then delved into the Folding Halls rescue Yussa and to destroy the Permaheart and weaken the Laughing Hand.

The Mighty Nein appeared in the Diamond Entrance room, then made their way to the Garden and fought off a froghemoth and several bullywugs. They called Allura with the mirror and learned that for every hour that passed in the Folding Halls a day passes in Exandria, and Allura told the party that she was planing on conducting a divination ritual to discover the identity of the Angel of Irons when the party returned.[66] The Nein were then perused by a mage hunter golem through the Tower Machine and into the Arcane Armory, where they defeated it using two arcane cannons. After resting for the night and checking in with Allura (since eight days had passed in Exandria), the party scaled the Tower Machine and entered the Golem Workshop, where they built a servant golem that Caleb named Willi.[67]

The party then entered the Experiment Chamber, where they battled a flesh golem Halas had created from mutant clones of himself. This golem and the other dead clones all had mutations reminiscent of the Laughing Hand's mouths.[68] They progressed to the Heart Study, where Caleb read Halas' notes on the Permaheart and learned how the wizard had found the heart's demiplane and bound it to the Tower Machine, dispelled the heart's ward and then re-sealed it behind enchanted glass, and studied its properties in the hopes of creating an immortal clone to transfer his soul to. The party then entered the Permaheart's chamber. The heart reacted to their presence, emitting a necrotic pulse with each beat as it animated its tendrils to defend itself. The party split to destroy its defenses, with Beau, Caleb, and Nott attempting to destroy the glyphs, while Jester, Fjord, and Caduceus directly attacked the glass container. Ultimately the container was destroyed first, where the defenseless heart was attacked directly, the killing blow dealt by Beau. Caleb followed up with a Web of Fire to incinerate its remains and keep it from regenerating.[69]

The Angel revealed[edit | edit source]

With the Permaheart destroyed, the Nein contacted Allura and asked her to Scry on the Laughing Hand, where she saw that he looked "extremely poorly" as his heart's destruction left him lethargic and sapped of his vitality. In the Scry Allura saw Obann berating the Hand for "falling apart near the finish line".[70] The Mighty Nein continued through the Folding Halls to rescue Yussa Errenis from the Prison of Soot, successfully returning to Exandria on 11 Thunsheer, just over a month after they first entered.

Yussa called Allura to his tower, where she conducted a ritual with the help of Yussa and the Mighty Nein to discover the identity of the Angel of Irons. Using a depiction of Yasha drawn by Jester, the party focused on her through the ritual and used this connection to peer past the veil of secrecy surrounding the Angel. In doing so, they discovered that the "Angel of Irons" is a ruse, and is actually a false identity for Tharizdun, the Chained Oblivion.[71]

The party discussed what they know about Tharizdun, particularly that several fanes in Exandria keep it banished to the Abyss. Knowing that the Angel of Irons cult was planning to free their "Angel", they know that the cult must be searching for these fanes.[72] Yussa suggested the Nein speak to Oremid Hass, headmaster of the Hall of Erudition in Zadash. Allura then left to warn the Tal'Dorei Council of this threat. [73] The next day the party teleported to Zadash and spoke to Oremid, save for Caleb who remained at the Valley Archive to continue researching Tharizdun.[74] They laid out what they knew of the cult's actions and mentioned Vence Nuthaleus as a cultist, where Oremid cast Sending and learned that Vence was in Rexxentrum. Oremid offers his aid and planed to collaborate with Dairon of the Cobalt Soul to ease any inter-office friction while gathering the case to present to King Bertrand Dwendal.[75]

Ambush at The Invulnerable Vagrant[edit | edit source]

Following their meeting with Oremid, the party reconvened with Caleb at The Invulnerable Vagrant, where they chatted with the owner Pumat Sol and purchased some potions. While Jester asked Pumat about a magic shield, Caduceus was suddenly slashed in the back. Turning, the party saw Jourrael, having successfully been resurrected and dominated by Obann, phasing into the floor to continue her ambush.[76] Most of the party as well as Pumat instinctively jumped on tables while Jourrael continued to phase in and out of the floor, at one point knocking Nott unconscious in a single blow. Beau was able to land a stunning strike on the Caedogeist, which allowed Fjord to hit her with a Banishing Smite. The party gathered to attack when she returned from her banishment, but most hits failed to meet their mark on her return. At this point, Jourrael retreated back into the floor and escaped.[77]

The Mighty Nein told Pumat what they were up against, and offered his aid in Scrying on the cult the next day once he prepared the spell. The party then spent the night at the Gentleman's safe house beneath the Evening Nip. The next morning on 13 Thunsheer, they returned to The Invulnerable Vagrant where Pumat Scried on Yasha, where he saw her, Obann, the Laughing Hand, and Jourrael entering Rexxentrum.[78]

Battle at the Chantry of the Dawn[edit | edit source]

By 13 Thunsheer, Vence Nuthaleus had returned to Rexxentrum from a mission to Vasselheim, where he infiltrated a vault in the city and recovered scrolls detailing the location of one of the "Angel's" shackles, a fane beneath the Chantry of the Dawn. Vence delivered the scrolls and an Abyssal Anchor to the Chantry, where another member of the cult Cardinal Respa, a corrupted former-cleric of Pelor received him. At the same time, the cult's contact in Rosohna, Taskhand Adeen Tasithar ordered an assault on Rexxentrum by Aurora Watch soldiers via purple worms tunneling from beneath. This attack was to serve as a diversion while the Unstoppable Family went to the Chantry to conduct their ritual to break the shackle.[79]

The Mighty Nein, accompanied by Pumat Sol went to the valley Archive and told Archivist Zeenoth to get in contact with Oremid Hass and Allura Vysoren, then used the teleportation circle to teleport to the Rexxentrum Archive, where Archivist Kathedoc received them and told the party about the Kryn assult.[80] Jester Scried on Vence and saw him speaking with Respa, who was able to see the scrying sensor and berated Vence before dispelling it.[79] The Nein then rushed to the Chantry and broke in via a tunnel created by Jester's Marvelous Pigments, while Caleb crashed through the stained glass windows using Cat's Ire.[81]

As the battle commenced, the party was waylaid by cultists and swarms of dretches summoned from Abyssal portals[82] while Respa called for the Unstoppable Family below and hit the Nein with a Fire Storm, before being killed by a crossbow shot from Nott.[83] The Laughing Hand, Obann and Yasha then burst from the chamber below. Fjord attempted to summon a vrock to aid them, but a surprise hit from Jourrael lost his command over the demon which attacked indiscriminately.[84] Nott critically hit Obann, who retaliated by Dominating her and retreated below, ordering her to do the same.[85] Yasha attacked Beau and dealt a nearly-fatal blow, but Caduceus successfully Dispelled the charming brand on her neck, finally and permanently releasing Yasha from Obann's control, as a sudden lightning bolt causes all the windows to shatter.[86] The Laughing Hand, having been weakened by the prior destruction of the Permaheart, was killed by a focused Web of Fire from Caleb.[87]

Pumat Sol held back the rest of the cultists and dretches with a Whirlwind while the rest of the party chased Obann, Jourrael, and the charmed Nott into the undercroft,[88] where they found the acolytes of Pelor had been poisoned by Respa and the cult.[89] They opened the hidden chamber to the fane, where Obann had drawn four ritual circles to break the shackle if four people stood in them.[90] Caleb Dispelled the charm on Nott, at which point Obann and Jourrael sprung from hiding and attacked.[91] Obann was ultimately surrounded by the Nein, where Yasha dealt a mortal wound by ripping his wings off and stabbing him through the chest. In his death throes he pleaded to the Angel of Irons, and to his horror Tharizdun responded and punished Obann for his failure, mutating him into a massive mass of inky tentacles, eyes, and teeth.[92]

Obann the Punished, though robbed of his mind, proved to be a formidable opponent, lashing out with his inky tentacle whips and strength-draining storm of biting shadows.[93] Jourrael, who had been freed from Obann's mind control, initially began to flee but turned back to assist the Nein in slaying her captor.[94] The abomination swallowed Caleb, who was able to free himself by Polymorphing into a giant ape.[95] Just as Obann the Punished began to fell the Nein, knocking both Beau and Jester unconscious, the Caedogeist phased through Obann's amorphous body and cut him apart from the inside, slaying the once-cambion for good.[96]

Aftermath[edit | edit source]

Immediate repercussions[edit | edit source]

With Obann's death, the charm he held over everyone in the cult immediately vanished. Jourrael phased through the wall of the shackle's hidden chamber, disapearing to parts unknown with the Mighty Nein deciding she was a problem for another day.[97] Adeen Tasithar realized what he had done under the charm and immediately fled Rosohna,[98] as did Vence Nuthaleus from Rexxentrum (though whether or not he was charmed is unknown).

Pumat Sol successfully destroyed the Abyssal Anchor in the Chantry of the Dawn, and while he was severely wounded, he defeated the rest of the demons with the help of several Crownsguard and Cobalt Soul monks gathered by Kathedoc.[99]

Scapegoating the cult[edit | edit source]

When the Mighty Nein returned to the cathedral, they were summoned to Castle Ungebroch to present their findings to King Bertrand Dwendal and his council. While there Allura Vysoren revealed that the Kryn attack had retreated when she spoke with Bright Queen Leylas Kryn, who withdrew her troops so as not to unintentionally aid the cult. With the Nein's involvement with the Kryn revealed, Ludinus Da'leth suggested that the Nein help to arrange a peace talk to end the War of Ash and Light, all the while using the Angel of Irons cult as a scapegoat to cover his part in beginning the open conflict.[100]

Within the next few days, Vence was captured,[101] as was Adeen.[102] While Adeen was imprisoned in the Dungeon of Penance, Essek Thelyss cast Modify Memory on Adeen to make him believe that he had stolen the two Luxon beacons and sold them to someone within the Empire.[103] It can be presumed that Vence's memory was similarly modified, possibly by Ludinus, to believe that he had made this trade with Adeen. By pinning the beacon's theft of the Angel of Irons cult, Ludinus and Essek were able to cover their theft of the beacons and bring an end to the War of Ash and Light thanks to the peace talk arranged by the Mighty Nein.
