The party is approached by a Steel Watcher after entering the upper floor of Wyrm's Rock Fortress. The Steel Watcher initially intends to apprehend the party but is stopped by {{CharLink|Enver Gortash}}. Gortash invites the party to his coronation as archduke, stating that they can talk face to face there.


Gortash greets the party after they enter they audience chamber and approach the throne. He explains that [[Orin the Red|Orin]] has no intention of keeping their alliance with [[Ketheric Thorm|Ketheric's]] death and she also wants to kill the party. He offers a proposal - so long as the party does nothing to harm him, they will be kept safe from his Steel Watch and can move about the city freely. If Orin's [[Netherstone]] is brought back to him, he will rule the city together with the party. An insight check reveals that Gortash is perfectly honest about his proposal.

The Netherbrain tells the party she was the one who informed the Chosen of the [[Astral Prism]] and planted fear of what Orpheus could do to their plan. She was the one who let the Emperor slip its leash so that it could retrieve the prism and loosen the Netherstones from the Chosen Ones' grasps.
