"If what you've brought me is true... then the very foundation of the Camarilla is in jeopardy."

"But we are Tremere. We do not act on rumors—we verify. There is one method. A ritual. Ancient, forbidden. Powerful."

"Orpheus’ Lament. Created by Orpheus Dyer, the Sage of Untamed Magic before Tess Dyer and Morgyn Ember. A spell to reclaim lost memories from the abyss—much like Orpheus sought his Eurydice. Follow me to the library."

(In the Chantry’s library, Strauss flips through brittle pages of a tome bound in dragonhide).

"He sought to bring back the soul of Eurydice—not in body, but in memory. To live again through knowing, through recall. He vanished before completing the work, swallowed by the Realm of Magic itself."

"So we’re chasing a ghost who wrote a spell to talk to another ghost."

"Romantic. Tragic. Like the original myth of Orpheus."

"The ritual was lost as their creator descended into the Realm of Magic’s untamed depths. Only Tess Dyer, Orpheus’s daughter, knows the path."

"Find Tess in the Realm of Magic. If she’s absent from the Sanctum, Morgyn will guide you. But beware—untamed magic does not suffer fools."

(Suzana uses her Glimmerstone and the gang is transported to the Realm of Magic. In the Sanctum, she meets Morgyn Ember).

"I seek Tess Dyer, and her father Orpheus. Their knowledge may help me to uncover a betrayal plot against one of the Elders of my sect."

"Tess wanders where the wild magic thrums—near Dragon Valley. But tread lightly. My predecessor’s legacy is... volatile."

(Morgyn gestures elegantly, summoning a pulse of swirling chaotic energy. The portal tears open, humming with raw power.)

 “Strauss, what exactly do you intend to do with him? Experiment? Bind him with blood?”

“He betrayed us, yes. But that makes him ours to judge, not yours.”

"Oh hell no—he’s our lead to Blair!"

"And you, neonate, are obstructing Camarilla justice. Orion betrayed the Clan and the sect."

“He was half-raving, but what he said… it meant something. He saw things we haven’t yet.”

“And if we never get the chance to speak with him again?”

"He wants Orion’s research. This is no arrest—it’s a harvest."

“You’ve all done well. But don’t overestimate your place. And Orion’s fate is sealed—for better or worse.”

Strauss steps aside, signaling for Suzana to join him. She hesitates, then walks over.

“There is one thing I want to teach you… a forgotten ritual. A weapon. The Rite of Stone and Blood—used to create Gargoyles.”

“You’re serious? A real Gargoyle? Not just lore?”

“Not lore. A sentinel. You’ll need it when the time comes.”
