⚔️ Prologue – The March Begins (4 min)

Beneath skies heavy with red smoke, the Rebel Host marches eastward. Banners of flame and shattered sigils ripple in wind. Before them rises Ironspire: a jagged tower-fortress of black steel, obsidian glass, and coiling smoke.

Rumored to be carved into the ribcage of a fallen titan, its walls pulse with strange glyphs, alive, enchanted, and watching. Lysara turns to Alaric. “This is no castle. It’s a trap pretending to be a throne.”

🏰 Act I – Walls That Bleed (8 min)

Siege engines roar. Rebel ballistae launch flaming bolts, but Ironspire’s walls shift, rearranging bricks like chess pieces. Archer slits vanish, new ones appear. Arrows scream from impossible angles.

A scouting party vanishes in moments, swallowed by the fortress. Alaric makes a decision: brute force won’t break Ironspire.

“We go under,” he says. “Through the steam vents. Through the oubliettes. Like rats with steel teeth.”

Lysara and Seyren volunteer. The rest hold the line as the tower breathes fire.

🔥 Act II – Into the Maw (9 min)

Deep within Ironspire’s bowels, Alaric’s team crawls through molten vents and scalding tunnels. Pipes hiss. Stone groans. They reach the Furnace Core, where golems made of slag and bone sleep within ember-crucibles.

Seyren disables one ward, but it pulses before dying. The golems awaken. Blazing fists slam into walls. Lysara casts a flame shield, absorbing blasts.

Alaric leads a counterattack, using narrow catwalks and crumbling grates to confuse the golems’ footing. With clever misdirection and a thunder rune, they drop one golem into a molten shaft.

They push deeper into the heart of Ironspire, toward the Second Seal Shard.

🛡️ Act III – The General of Chains (8 min)

In the obsidian throne chamber, they find the shard: suspended in a lattice of runed iron. Guarding it is General Rhogar, an armored giant with infernal steam hissing from his back.

“You seek to break the Dominion’s spine?” he growls. “You’ve barely touched its shadow.”

Alaric charges. Rhogar meets him with a flaming warhammer, every strike shaking the tower. Their duel scorches the marble. Solrend sparks against blacksteel.

Lysara races to the shard, attempting to seal it with the emberstone. Rhogar knocks Alaric down, but Seyren binds his arm briefly with a thread of starlight.

Alaric impales him through a vent slot. Steam erupts. Rhogar burns from within and falls.

🪓 Act IV – The Fracture (7 min)

With the shard exposed, Lysara channels flame through the emberstone to seal the fragment of the Second Seal. But the shard resists. It fractures, sending a wave of void-light through the chamber.

Visions swarm their minds, Velkaeth’s eye, the collapse of the Flamecrowned court, forgotten cities drowned in ash.

Seyren cries out. “We didn’t seal it. We broke it.”

Outside, the tower shutters. A beacon of sickly white light rises from Ironspire’s peak. The skies begin to split.

🏹 Act V – Flight and Fury (6 min)

The trio flees the collapsing fortress as Dominion reinforcements pour in. The rebel army watches as Ironspire melts inward, devouring its own battlements.

Alaric rallies them. “This wasn’t our end. It’s our beginning.” They retreat into the hills, wounded but alive, leaving behind the ruins of a broken seal and a world tilting toward chaos.

🎵 Final Montage (4 min)

• A Dominion priest kneels beside Rhogar’s remains, retrieving a shard of his armor and whispering, “One vessel lost. Five remain.”
• Queen Maeryn’s spirit flares briefly before vanishing. The emberstone dims.
• Velkaeth’s veil quivers. A new whisper is heard: “Two seals remain. And the key has chosen.”
• Lysara weeps silently beneath the stars. Fire drips from her eyes.

📜 End Credits – Episode 7: Siege of Ironspire

Ironspire is fallen, but its death was not a victory, it was a wound torn deeper. The Second Seal is now broken. The world spins closer to unmaking. Alaric and Lysara march on, wounded, hunted, and more vital than ever.

The Shadow of Eldros: Blades of the Void continues.
