Editing Glory Exultation (section)

==Sudden (Dis)Appearances==

On the day of the Gloria, Baelwren, Kimo, and Regina tapped the Spellpool and prepared for the moment of truth. As Jericho's singing moved through the preliminary movements, the rest of the party prepared themselves for the unknown results of dismantling such a massive spell. Suddenly, [[Perrin Forester|Perrin]] winked out of existence in the Jade Tower. As the party stood stunned, both Nigel and Kimo similarly disappeared. Regina picked up the scrying that Kimo had been doing and also immediately added a third "view" to observe Perrin, et al. 

Perrin, Nigel, and Kimo had been summoned to the side of [[Rachel Forester|Rachel]], who was in active labor. She had activated the teleport bracelet because, in the midst of her labor, the Village of [[Deepwood]] was being attacked by a pack of vampires (or possibly vampire-kin). The werewolves of the town were valiantly defending the small house she was in, but appeared to be slightly overmatched. The appearance of 3 fresh, potent warriors shifted the odds significantly. Perrin machine-gunned several vampires, saving the werewolf matriarch and pinning a vampire to the ceiling of the birthing room with a bristling of several enchanted arrows. After disarming a vampire, Nigel was temporarily enthralled and stopped fighting, but a renewed assault by Kimo allowed him to break free. With the vampires routed, Kimo urgently dragged Perrin into the room and performed the world's fastest wedding between Perrin and Rachel seconds before their child was born. (Do you? Yes. Do YOU? Yes. Good, you're married. Waaaaaah!) Reports are unclear about whether the cry came from Perrin, Rachel, or the baby, who was named Landor in honor of his [[Landor Caladon|pseudo-grandfather]]. Reports do not include any reference to [[Lelani Caladon|Lelani]] making an appearance during the fight or during and after the birth; it is assumed that the birth fulfilled her condition and freed her to pass on to the land of the dead.

Back in the Jade Tower, things were getting interesting. As Jericho started providing rapidly growing levels of power, Baelwren felt the strain of setting up the channels for its use. Regina, too, was struggling to maintain 3 separate scrying feeds, prioritized as 1) Jericho, 2) Tollerath, and 3) Perrin, et al. Both women's features were tense and perspiration beaded on their foreheads. As they struggled, and occasionally faltered, in controlling the Spellpool, they could feel support coming from Jericho and the choir of bards, bolstering their abilities. Jericho had anticipated the difficulties they all would be facing and, in consultation with some of his friends, incorporated some of the bardic ''inspire greatness'' musical themes into his composition.

As the ceremony approached its climax, the laws of space and time flexed and became permeable. All 4 locations (Jade Tower, Grand Concert Hall, Mt. Daneasus, and the village) seemed to merge. With a pulse unprecedented since the [[Scarlet War]], enormous divine power surged from the concert hall and combined with the guidance from the Jade Tower. In the hollow of [[Mt. Daneasus]], [[Tollerath]] dismantled the powerful spell that held the temple in extradimensional space. The temple suddenly sprang back into existence with a resounding thunderclap, filling the space it had long-ago vacated. In that moment, everyone in the vicinity of the scried locations knew they had a brief moment before the merging collapsed to decide where they wanted to be when it did. Baelwren, Regina, Jericho, Nigel, and Kimo all elected to appear in Mt. Daneasus. Perrin remained with Rachel. (The location of Phantos is unclear.)
