Once in Hammerborg, they find someone wating for them at their door. It is a teenage Dragonborn of the Blue tribe, who in fact reveals to be Zephyra's younger brother, Sethark.
He is here to inform Zephyra that their parents face punishment from the Council of Tribes, due to her betrayal of her race.
Sethark brings a scroll of Teleportation, who will birng them all to the Dragon Islands. Gully and Berem decide to accompany Zephyra, while Rudd has other, personal bussiness to attend to, and decides to stay in Hammerborg.
Arrived in Zephyra's ancestral home, the Oasis town of Blueflare, Zephyra must face the anger of her brethren and her sister, Amanthyne, who cannot understand why her younger sister has betraied the trust of her race, for love of humans.
After a few days, Zephyra and the others face the Council, in a majestic valley between high mountains, where the Tribes are congregated, hundreds and hundreds of Dragonborn meeting for trade, to share information, and to witness trials. The mighty Dragons survey the lands from above, or perched on the highest peaks.
Cyrukk the Ashclaw, of the Red Tribe, accuses Zephyra to not be worthy of speaking at the council, due to her betrayal. Zephyra finds support in Lord Argenthar, of the Silver tribe, a respected warrior of the Dragonborn. He arranges for the group to face a test of honor, to prove their mettle.
As impossible task, Cyrukk declared that they shall bring to the council the head of the rogue Dragon Flame Wirmreaver. With that the council adjourns, and Lord Argenthar offers to provide food and shelter in his mountain castle to the Heroes.
The heroes decide to contact Rudd, since they will need his fighting prowess against the dragon, and thanks to Silverain, the Silver Dragon companion of lord Argenthar, and her magical skills, they teleport Rudd to the Dragon Lands.
Silverain escorts the heroes to an ancient dormant volcano, now a steaming lake, supposedly the lair of the dragon Flame. There, they encounter a few Ettin guardians, togheter with Hell Hounds, and face the wrath of a huge half dragon crocodile.
They finally enter into the lair of Flame, a huge cavern bathed in hot tar. As they reach the main chamber, they're unprepared to face the Adult Wyrm togheter with a few Fire Giants minion.
After a first clash, ending with the death of Gully's henchman, and the retreat of the group, our heroes rest and prepare properly for the hard fight.
The day after, they lure the Dragon out of his cave, and manage to inflict a fatal blow to the beast.
