Rowan arrived at Galik in the midst of the magical blackout and the chaos surrounding the [[List of Magic Items|Crown of Empyrosis]] (Yro). Instead of researching, he used his powers to help extinguish some of the burning temples. After this, he joined a group sent to investigate the manor of Bruneld Redmane, a priest of Kossuth. The party fought Banites, rescued Shalyah and Rowanna Redmane, and discovered the crypt where Yro could be destroyed. Destroying the powerful artifact had been their first priority, until another theory was spun. Yro was one of four primordial artifacts from the myth of the Quelmar Great Fissure. While each item is individually capable of horrific destruction, obtaining all four would allow a wielder to shape the very fabric of reality. Myths hinted that Yro would be the only way to destroy another of these artifacts, the [[List of Magic Items|Staff of the Osugborn Marsh]]. Therefore, the staff should be destroyed before Yro. | Rowan arrived at Galik in the midst of the magical blackout and the chaos surrounding the [[List of Magic Items|Crown of Empyrosis]] (Yro).

The ''Galik Gazette'' published news about Yro's location within the city, much to the Lyreguards' horror. Their leader, Duthar, planned a distraction: bring Yro and set fires at a sufficiently expendable town, such as [[Nestle]], Ambleside, or [[Pepperoncini]] (which the country boy calls "Pepper Chine"). The eight chosen for this task debated ethics and options at length; [[Red]] especially protested endangering any citizens. They were making little headway when Rowan coldly interjected, "Burn Ambleside." The town that had done so little for him could burn, and Rowan thought they would be happy to see him a villain. | The ''Galik Gazette'' published news about Yro's location within the city, much to the Lyreguards' horror.

Rowan donned Yro, summoned a lion fire elemental, and brushed off his disguise. He stroked the fiery mane by his side. Being recognized by the townsfolk, he shouted "Since your hearts were cold to me, this should warm them!" He cast a fireball upon the town hall roof. At the shout of "Devil!" he responded, "This is no devil, but the power of Yro!" while setting the cathedral's roof ablaze. The other party members scattered amongst the crowd to spread the rumors of Yro, the goal of this operation. | Rowan donned Yro, summoned a lion fire elemental, and brushed off his disguise.

As the party reached the exit of the town with their mission accomplished, a massive mound of earth shot up and blocked their exit. A [[Coseismus|priest of Grumbar]] was here to challenge Yro, which was a threat to his earth demigod's staff. A violent battle of earth and fire erupted, flaming crown against magical axe. Red had done her best at every moment beforehand to spare innocent civilians, but now casualties abounded. Houses burned and were demolished by pillars of earth. Midnight pleaded with Rowan, who was still wielding Yro, to leave - they had done their job, after all. Rowan was convinced that the axe handle was the Staff of the Marsh, though, and he stood his ground. Perhaps it was the crown's power that blinded him, or maybe it was simply his own ego. | As the party reached the exit of the town with their mission accomplished, a massive mound of earth shot up and blocked their exit.
