Summer is coming

When we got back to Auriga's chamber she wasn't there - but Yeenogh was unconscious on the floor, having been drained of divine shards. Auriga had gone up north to battle with herself.

We went inside the mind of the winter general (which had the interesting temporary side effect of turning Gunda into 50 copies of herself) and beat him. He was a long-dead halfling and an old friend of Auriga from back in the day. A black goo spider creature had turned him into an undead creature, but we banished it and hopefully now all is well.

Curse your sudden but inevitable ... unconditional surrender?

We went in search of the Winter Court. We found hordes of things to kill ... and once we took care of those, another horde appeared. Okay, so we needed to find the person behind it.

It was another Godbound. From Faerûn, just like us!

Instead of fighting to the death, she decided to give her unconditional surrender - which didn't stop Elani from wanting to kill her, of course.

This woman had been hired by the Winter Court around 1000 years ago to look after a portal, which currently only goes one way: from Faerûn to Auriga. Maybe we can fix it and go back? Not that we're entirely sure what's going to happen, now that she was convinced (by being paid more by us, basically) to abandon her post as guard dog.

Seems like a battle is coming, and Auriga is what they want. Things are about to get very interesting indeed.
