Chapter Summaries

Eranikus attacked Karazhan, but the tower’s seven-colored barrier stopped his claws just short of the secondary tower. Jiang Jie and the others realized they were safe from the nightmare dragon’s assault for now.

• Jiang Jie and the others watched Eranikus approach Karazhan, while Med’an insisted the tower would hold and the others felt the dragon’s overwhelming presence.
• Eranikus paused on a nearby ridge, sensed the tower’s powerful energy, and challenged the defenders before flying toward Karazhan.
• Eranikus reached for the top of the secondary tower, triggering a seven-colored dome that enveloped both towers and blocked his claws.
• Eranikus used green dragon and nightmare power to strengthen his claws, but the barrier’s rippling energy stopped them a meter above the roof.
• Jiang Jie and the others relaxed as Eranikus failed to breach the barrier, and Jiang Jie gained renewed respect for Karazhan, Medivh, and Aegwynn.

Eranikus repeatedly struck the rainbow barrier above Karazhan, creating violent storms that tossed everyone into the air and back to the ground. Jiang Jie and the Maiden of Virtue rescued the others into the tower, while Modera called for Alturus to be saved last.

• Eranikus crashed into the rainbow barrier, and the resulting storm threw Jiang Jie and the others against it.
• The barrier rebounded Eranikus and unleashed another storm, so Jiang Jie caught Tyr's Guard, Oryx, and Paltress with a hand of air.

Jiang Jie and his allies prepared to fight the corrupted green dragons and Nightmare Phantasms as the creatures threatened Karazhan’s barrier. Alturus celebrated bringing down a young dragon, only for the other mages to point out that it was still alive and that young dragons hardly counted as proper dragon-slaying.

• More than a dozen corrupted green dragons, including the ancient dragons Emeriss and Taerar, appeared where the two worlds overlapped.
• Nightmare Phantasms attacked and gravely wounded Oryx, so Jiang Jie assigned Paltress and the paladins to defend against them while he led the others toward the dragons.
• Alturus charged a Nightmare Phantasm and managed to hold off one of the powerful corrupted Druid souls.
• Alturus struck a young Nightmare dragon with Arcane Missiles and thought he had killed it, but it recovered and flew back into the air.
• Leryda, Ansirem, Modera, and Rhonin mocked Alturus by explaining that his target was a young dragon and was not even dead.

• Jiang Jie called on Anveena for protection and ordered Alturus to hold off Taerar’s duplicates; Alturus fought hard to prove himself worthy of staying at Karazhan.
• Jiang Jie endured the duplicates’ attacks and severed Taerar’s neck, while Alturus claimed that he had helped slay an ancient dragon.

As the defenders struggled to hold off Eranikus and the nightmare dragons, Aegwynn finally arrived at Karazhan and took charge. She ordered everyone to gather at the Master's Terrace to use Karazhan's last remaining means of attack, while Itharius was left badly wounded and in need of healing.
