Fighting the Spirits
Back into the Landswept skies, the party will find the dwarf city and go deeper still to defeat the restless titan and free him from his prison.
But the entrance of the subterranean dungeon Nifelheim is revealed. The party must escape from the dangerous alien monsters, finding the Empire bridge control device in the process.

The surface has changed somewhat, the dreadlands have receded.
>Go to Crystal Expanse
>Go to Animus Empire

The Crystal Expanse has gotten colder. The township is rapidly running out of resources, while the empire takes military occupancy, building a base farther into the icy hills.
Shiva is displeased with the disloyalty and lack of handsome men seeking her approval. She will turn everything into a frozen hell if she is ignored.
The empire base is training soldiers with the properties of the land like a hyperbolic time chamber. If the base is not destroyed, then humanoid empire troops later will have 30% more health and +5 damage.

The Animus Empire cannot be accessed without crossing the big bridge. Gilgamesh is the toll warden, he will ask you to pay with exactly o n e (1) legendary blade. He will inform you of a dungeon nearby that has such a weapon and come with you to acquire it.
The dungeon master will only give the weapon to the winner of a big battle, on a bridge. Gilgamesh insists it is his weapon if he wins and another legendary blade will be needed for tribute.
A bluff or disguised weapon will fool him until the next time you cross paths.
He will no longer be found on the bridge after that.

The Animus Empire access bridge leads into the Market Sector. *Magitech equipment can be bought only here. Side Quests: Help humanitarian research, Smuggle innocent prisoners out, Expose corrupt business, and Join the internal Police Force.
After finishing a sidequest, the party encounters Cid Af Azel, the genius who invented the core technology for all of magitech. His plans to find a way to save the world from the foolishness of the Empire are underway, but he needs someone to investigate the Castle and shut down the high tech defense system that prevents him from launching his airship and escaping the Empire.

Thus the party sneaks into the Castle, heading down the maze like complex until they reach the laboratory, where all sorts of mad experiments take place. Biggs and Wedge show up for the second time and battle the party with their summoned demons Archfiend Scarmiglione, and Archfiend Cagnazzo. The dungeon continues where the party learn that the empire uses science to recreate the monsters of the dreadlands and turn them into weapons, and to stop this, they must destroy the power source of the castle.
The final depths of the castle laboratory leads into the hydro engine chamber, which actually houses the elemental god leviathan, sapping its unlimited aether from the base floor of the ocean. Once awoken, leviathan will attempt to sink the entire Empire in its rage against the mortals that tried to control it, the party will not be able to convince it to spare the innocents and must subdue it with force.
After leviathan’s defeat, the facility will begin to flood. The party must escape back through the dungeon (which is filling up with hazards from the flooding). If available, Shiva may be summoned to freeze the water to escape safely.
