Dragon Knight Davion from the Dragon's Hold and his squire Bram are enlisted by the village of Barrowhaven, to help slay a lone earth wyrmling. After defeating the wyrmling, Davion and Captain Fruhling, the leader of the local soldiers, discover an underground dragon nest where an Eldwyrm is slumbering deep within the tunnel system. Knowing the danger of confronting an Eldwyrm, Davion chooses to let it sleep, and returns to the village, much to Captain Fruhling's disapproval. While celebrating in the tavern, Davion encounters Mirana and her handmaiden Marci, who are there to meet with a hooded elven named Gwanwyn, for information regarding their lost Lotuses. A skirmish with a drunkard leads to Gwanwyn getting exposed as an elf. As elves are hated amongst the humans, Davion is forced to toss him out to save him from being beaten up. Gwanwyn then instructs Mirana to seek for Nikdo in Haupstadt. Meanwhile, Terrorblade, a demon imprisoned among the fractured walls of Foulfell, possesses the body of Fruhling and puppeteers him to return to the Eldewyrm.

After learning that Fruhling has returned to confront the Eldewyrm, Davion instructs Bram to alert the Dragon's Hold, while he races to rescue Fruhling. Davion arrives as Terrorblade kills Uldorak, the Eldwyrm whom Davion chose not to confront, and claims its soul. Terrorblade, still inside Fruhling's body, tells Davion to let him possess his body, before they are interrupted by Slyrak, the fire Eldwyrm who has arrived to demand Terrorblade release Uldorak's soul so he can rejoin the Thunder and be reborn. Terrorblade possesses Uldorak's body and wages battle against Slyrak, but the fight ends in a stalemate, as Terrorblade flees with Uldorak's soul. The dying Slyrak then kills Davion in a blood-based ritual. Later, Mirana finds a naked Davion alive but passed out in the forest and decides to help him at her aide Marci's insistence.

Fymryn brings the lotuses back to the Coedwei forest enclave, one of the enclaves occupied by the Coriel'Tauvi, an elf race who worships the goddess Mene after being outcast by Selemene from Nightsilver Wood for refusing to worship her. Fymryn and the Coriel'Tauvi believes that their goddess Mene has been trapped in the shadow by Selemene, and Fymryn intends to fulfill a prophecy of bringing Mene back so that they can overthrow Selemene and return to living in Nightsilver Wood. To do so, she embarks on a journey with fellow Coedwigs inhabitants Adara, Dyfed and Idwal to the Broken's Peak to find the Invoker, believing based on the story that he could use the Lotus to bring back Mene. Upon reaching the tower, the Invoker is shocked that she can locate his hidden tower. He takes the Lotus from her, gives her a coin with a face of Mene, and sends them back out to the woods instead of helping them. Having failed the mission, the team decided to spend a night in the forest. Luna, worshipper of Selemene, arrives and demands them to return the Lotus, while murdering all of them except Fymryn, who was saved by the Invoker.

He later appears as an illusion in front of Selemene, and reveals to Selemene that the Elven Legion, a secret army of Coriel'Tauvi will soon be emerging to take her down while she is weakened due to the loss of the Lotus.
