The party discovered crystal fragments in a throne room that granted them visions of an approaching malevolent threat seeking their deaths, giving them only twelve hours before it reached Anvil Hold. When supernatural calamities began plaguing the town - forges burning white hot, food spoiling, and darkness deepening - the angry townspeople blamed the party, forcing Warden Althra to take them into protective custody. With the mayor planning to seal the gates permanently at dawn, the party had only eight hours to escape before being trapped forever. Master Koli helped them flee through underground tunnels, leading them to Brother Simeon who gave Oz'zariah a mysterious pre-cataclysm book, then to his blacksmith shop where they gathered weapons and disguises before successfully sneaking through town and past the guards.

The party escaped across the Sea of Solace desert on sand skiffs, but a massive sandstorm blew them off course into the forbidden Singing Sands, where they discovered an ancient temple made of dark crystal. Inside, they encountered a divine avatar who tested each party member individually with challenges of truth and moral choice. Opus chose to preserve precious memories over gaining forbidden knowledge and received the ability to create Elixir of Life, Kagen chose mercy over vengeance and gained truth-revealing scales, while other members faced their own trials and received magical rewards. When Oz'zariah was offered a choice between personal gain or benefiting the entire group, her selfless decision to help everyone resulted in the avatar granting all party members increased strength and bravery, causing each to gain a level as divine energy wrapped around them.
