Whether it would help or not, Rowan poured a great deal of Artifact Energy into Prince Farondis.
Pure azerite merged into Farondis's soul form. His body, which resembled a shattered porcelain vase, stopped leaking light and gradually stabilized.
The Soul Abyss Gem had inflicted grievous damage on Farondis. Pure azerite energy could not heal his wounds; it could only act as a sedative to delay his soul's dissolution, keeping him alive for the moment.
Power from the Shadowlands ought to be dealt with by beings from the Shadowlands. All Rowan could do now was hope that Devos, the Paragon of Loyalty, had a way to heal Prince Farondis.
Within Farondis's soul form, the Maw's Fire subsided somewhat.
Farondis simply entered meditation, using what little mental strength he had left to suppress the flames from the Maw and keep his soul intact.
Though this would not last long, every extra second alive gave him a little more chance of survival.
Thalyssra brought the Old Dean of Nar'thalas Academy over to care for Prince Farondis.
Elisande and Thalyssra joined Rowan to discuss the upcoming artifact exchange.
Imonar, the Burning Legion hunter from Antorus, had a clear objective. His ultimate purpose in coming to Azsuna was the Tidestone in Prince Farondis's possession.
Before entering meditation, Farondis handed the Tidestone to Elisande for temporary safekeeping.
The three went downstairs. Thalyssra lit the room's crystal lamps, and they sat down facing one another.
"How strong is the Burning Legion hunter holding the Night Watch captive?"
Rowan already had the beginnings of a plan. They absolutely could not hand over the Tidestone, but they also had to rescue Prince Farondis's Night Watch.
Of course, the Burning Legion hunter was no fool, so Rowan would have to take somewhat extreme measures and offer him a little bait.
