The party spoke to the Anfoor and were given three questions to seek that which is (knowledge about the world in its current form). The Anfoor freely offered their knowledge to you, but said their ability to use the observatory was reserved for three fact-finding missions. The use of the device seemed to take a physical toll on the Anfoor – hence the limitation.
You asked about three topics:
Where are Illiamarra’s Phylacteries and where is She? The party was shown a visson of a flying city in three different places – floating above a volcano, somewhere in a dark cavernous space in the underdark, and buried beneath tons of ice in the north. The one above the moltencore is named Elyveshara. The one in the underdark is named Elaenagoth. Finally, the one in the ice is named Nelheserin. To get the floating cities, the party was shown hidden entry points buried in temples and ancient ruins (in selune’s temple, the husk of a dead earth titan, and the tomb of the betrayers of the Gith). Illiamarra seemed to be currently residing in the city of Sigil in the outlands. She was seen working on the revenmancer’s claw and inserting some sort of large soul gem into it.
What are the other liches doing and where are they? The Anfoor worked the observatory again to show the liches residing in their floating cities. This seemed to cause him significant pain, suggesting the areas were heavily warded from divination magics. Despite the toll and strain on his body he pushed through. Both liches seemed to be working on various devices, but had drawings nearby of the Straxx. Around them were all manner of experiments and instruments. Both seemed to also be watching Illiamarra through large crystalline orbs.
What is the most direct path through the Straxx to the Control room? With the final question, the Anfoor used what remained of their strength to show you the shortest pathway through the Straxx. The device was immense and contained many levels. The vision of the enhanced scrying observation jumped from one area to the next through 6 different levels and multiple portals. The monument appeared to a labyrinth of different biomes and settings. After the disorienting jumping, the Anfoor settled upon a large control room that contained a massive Orrery that was spinning rapidly (out of control). Several pieces of the device appeared to be damaged. Beneath the spinning Orrery was a large well that showed a spectral star scape. Beyond the Orrery, a large window revealed a similar star scape. With some contemplation, the star scape appeared to be the Astral Sea. After a moment, the stars cape changed to a fiery looking landscape – suggesting the Straxx was still jumping
