Overview:Ashram arrives at the Temple of Marfa and demands to know about Bramd the ice dragon's treasure. The treasure is one of the Governor's Treasures, which Ashram seeks to take for himself. His goal is to acquire the treasures in order to fulfill his late master's wish by obtaining the Scepter of Domination. He reveals to Neese that he killed Bramd and she informs him the treasure was sold off and thus is not the treasure he is after. When Ashram leaves she sends a summons for Leylia, Slayn and their daughter Neese from Zaxon. Elsewhere, Shiris, Orson and a few other enforcers head to Zaxon to collect overdue taxes for Duke Raster. Cecil, a young sorcerer, protects the village, so Shiris draws him out into a trap. Deedlit and Parn save Cecil but Orson goes into a berserker rage when Parn defeats Shiris, only calming down as a result of Deedlit's spells. Slayn, Leylia and Neese arrive shortly afterwards informing Parn to go with them back to consult the elder Neese.
