Since the hated struggle against the elemental host in that storied event recalled as the Dawn War, we have seen the divided god wage endless war as it seeks to reconcile its sundered existence. Over the eons, the platinum wrestles with the chromatic, using and discarding us as they will to slake their thirst for vengeance. Our late patron defeated the enemy, and the enemy has defeated our patron. Time and again they fight, but to what end? One triumphs only to fall as the other gains ascendancy. I have peered through time’s mists, apprehended the distant future, and can see no end to this struggle. My despair at the eternal war impels me to beseech your esteemed council, to urge you to let the Platinum Dragon’s death be the last and to help me put an end to this age-old cycle for all time. Fellow dragons, the time to decide is now.”  \nDecember 2 0 09 | DUNGEON 17 3  \n􀀂􀀃  \n􀀂􀀃􀀄􀀅􀀆 􀀈􀀉􀀊􀀆 􀀋􀀄􀀌􀀍􀀎  \n“Those Once Loyal” is an adventure for five 25th-level characters. By the end, the characters should be midway through 27th level. This adventure builds on the events described in the Scales of War adventure path, but you can adapt it for use in your own campaign or as a one-shot adventure for epic level adventurers.  \n􀀆􀀇􀀈􀀉􀀊􀀋􀀌􀀍􀀎􀀏  \nBahamut is mostly dead . . . but not entirely so. A remnant lives on, hidden away and kept safe by a servant created for just this purpose. In Bahamut’s unfathomable wisdom, he anticipated the end Tiamat intended for him, extracted a portion of his divine essence, and bequeathed it to an unwitting vessel. That vessel is  \nAmyria. Should the unthinkable happen (as it has), the essence would guide Amyria to her ultimate purpose.  \nAt least, that’s the plan.  \nKeeping the plan a secret was central to Bahamut’s agenda. Although Amyria is capable, as are her companions, Tiamat would destroy her in a moment if she knew what the deva carried within her. No plan is safe when there are those who can peer into the future and trace fate’s threads to their possible outcomes.  \nOne such being to identify Bahamut’s intent was the mithral dragon Dakranad, a historian and philosopher who dwelled in Bahamut’s palace. Any who are close to the Platinum Dragon are aware that the struggle between Bahamut and Tiamat is no new thing. It has raged for countless millennia, all the way back to the Dawn War when Bahamut and Tiamat were born from Io’s sundered form. Dakranad knew that Bahamut’s death, while tragic, would bring an end to the war and spare the lives of generations to come. This fact comforted Dakranad. He was shaken  \nwhen he received a vision of Bahamut’s rebirth, because he knew that if his master returned, the wars would continue forever. The only solution was to claim Bahamut’s mantle and assume his place.  \nFor all his intellect and foresight, Dakranad failed to recognize his hubris when he approached the seven gold dragons who advised their master. Dakranad gave an impassioned speech, explaining the histories and their consequences and the dangers yet to come should Bahamut be permitted to continue his struggle. He beseeched the dragons to elevate him so he could take the Platinum Dragon’s place and bring the costly war to an end. His audience was both delighted that Bahamut would return and horrified by the dragon’s offer. They were so offended that they tossed themithral dragon out from Celestia and unknowingly placed him in the clutches of an insidious enemy who wanted vengeance for himself.  \nEnter Dispater. Bahamut and Tiamat caused the archdevil endless trouble with their squabbling.
