You fight against a remembered version of Gawrth, intending to kill his creator Abraxas. In the end, Egbert is able to magically convince him to lay down his weapons and go inside of a cryo-chamber. Abraxas recons that keeping the beast alive but disabled would be in his best intentions. But he wonders who helped his reptilian creation break the restraining wards - and who gave him the black sword he was wielding.

After returning from the memory, you dive into the next section of the Memorandum. But only after a few meters, the space is shattered, leading into a black void. Something might have damaged the enchantment or the memorandum itself. You skim through the only book that is still readable in this section, titled "Our Eternity":

You flip through a series of images of various books, research, boring if you cannot read what is written in there.

You flip a page, a picture catches your eye. You see in front of you three other people.

You recognize a female body made out of ashes, hair is burning.

You recognize a giant reptilian man, Marutuk. Holding the enormous hammer that some of you have already come in contact with.

You see another woman. Beautiful dark skin, with half-long black hair falling back into a knot. Her eyes glow as golden as her tribalistic tattoos.

They all stand next to you, looking determined. From your perspective, you hand them a piece of paper on which you can see a crude drawing of a hand.

You flip a page, you kneel before a great shadow, you don't see its form.

In the corner of the image, the shadow takes form in tentacles, framing the whole picture.

To your left and right, you see your three companions kneel as well.

You flip a few pages where the group travels through the wilderness. Through towns you don't recognize and roads you never seen before

You flip another page, you stand on top of a big cliff.

Before you lies a deep crater, one you recognize by the remains of a dead Titan. The Grave of Horas.

Leylith kneels in the snow next to you, tending to a grave on the mountain top. Tears run down her cheek.

You flip another page, a dagger in your hand pierces the heart of the black skinned woman with golden eyes.

She smiles at you, probably telling you that everything is alright.

The others stand by and just watch the ritual.

You flip a page. The sky is as black as it can be. In the crater before you stands another Titan, not dead, but death.

The enormous body of a corpse, tight white skin pressed onto a skeleton without any muscles or flesh. The void in its eyes stare at you.

You present your slain companion like an offering. Death seems to accept the pact you offer.

A line of text at the bottom of the page reads in quotes: "She continues to live, until your bodies touch."

You flip a page. The woman you stabbed stands in front of you, filling most of the images frame.

Her eyes gaze upon you. Her hand reaching, but you decline her approach. There is sadness in her face.

You flip a few pages where you visit various destoyed towns. Humanoid titans fighting giant dragons and other titan creatures.

You flip a page and see you and your companions fight against a gigantic worm creature on a barren plane.

The creature looks close to death, but so do the friends on your side. Marutuk is missing an arm and the burning woman is in the form of a raging fire elemental.

You flip to the next page and see the worm defeated. Marutuk regenerates. The woman with the golden eyes points into the sky.

The shadow of a giant dragon is cast upon you.

You flip another page and see a dragon as big as a mountain. Silver wings.

The dragon descends on you as you shout at your friends to flee.

You flip a page. The humanoid form of Amon next to you. He looks extremly angry, you have never imagined the Lorekeeper to look that scary.

His left arm is still a dragon claw, he walks towards you.

You flip a page. The Lorekeeper shoots something out of his hands, hitting Marutuk and Leylith.

You flip. The hite companions vanish into a ball of chains as the Lorekeeper shoots another projectile towards the golden eyed woman.

You flip through a dozen empty pages.

Eventually, another chapter starts.

You flip the page and are chained to a wall. The Lorekeeper stands on the other side of the cage. He looks at you with digust.

The text below the picture reads in quotes: "I may not be able to kill you again, but I can imprison you until you wish to be dead."

You flip through pages and pages of being in the same cell, alone, chained. Spiderwebs gathering, growing bigger and bigger.

You flip through these pictures until the book ends.

You can still see the cover of the next book: ""The Fall of Dreya", but decide to not risk entering the incomplete memory.

However, you find out that an invisible staircase is leading down into the black void, and a tiny light bulb can be seen down there. You decide to leave that for later and instead focus on watching the remaining memories, shifting the Memorandum into the next section once more ... only to fall down the black void. Thanks to some utility spells, you are not horribly dying, but instead glide down carefully.

On the ground, most of you hide in the unnatural darkness, while Egbert impersonates Archmage Khelem to confront Shaevera Rinowen, the source of the floating lightbulb and most likely the one creating this rift in reality. The high elven wizard that some of you already encountered in Mel Serine seems exhausted and hungry, causing her to not see through the disguise. She is glad to see Khelem, but urges him to let her finish a short rest. She does not reveal a lot of information, but that she is responsible for damaging the enchantment of the Memorandum to find this secret section.

The rest of you slowly show yourselves, causing a surprised reaction in Shaevera. She pleads that there is no need for conflict and that both sides have the same goal, and that you should work together, even though she deceived Khelem. Happy is not really happy with the situation, but eventually, you all agree to work together. You take the small book that Shaevera found in this secret section and get a night of sleep in Egbert's Magnificent Mansion. Stories are exchanged, conversations are had, and eventually you all sleep.

Once awake, you are able to open the secret memory of Abraxas by tricking the abjuration protecting access with the ashes of Leylith that Florian was still carrying.

Multiple Abraxas figures appear, represented by various species and genders, all with pale skin and red eyes. The interactive avatars tell you a lot about various secret plots. Much about Amon, Morlin, the Ancients, the Ancestors, the Apex Titan and what the island Avalon has to do with all of it.

It appears that Abraxas fooled himself, removing parts of his own memory: thoughts and revelations and eventual betrayal of the pact he made with Morlin:

The Ancestors

"Many centuries ago, the ancestors came to this world on their sky ship. We do not know why or how, but they started a new civilization in Yenashj."

• "Humans, elves, dwarfes. They all descend from the ancestors, mutated by magic and pairings with the creatures that already inhabited this or other planes of existence."
• "Like the giants, or the dragons. The creations of the Titans."

"The ancestors eventually populated the whole world. But the true blooded stayed behind with their skyship. The Areon."

• "Unfortunately for them, they all seem to have perished in the Age of Darkness. Turned to stone by the grey plague."

The Apex Dream Theory

"Titan's don't reproduce like we do. It is quite fascinating and doesn't really make sense."

• "They don't want anyone to know how it works, maybe they themselves don't really know how it is possible."
• "Titans are born from eggs. There is not a single record of how a new titan is born, so it's hard to say how the birth looks like."
  • "But an egg travels backwards in time, created together with the titan that hatched, co-existing."
  • "The egg persists, even if the birthed titan perishes. The egg will slowly shrink over the centuries."
  • "Eventually, the mother of the titan will consume the egg, which from the eggs perspective is its birth."
• "The eggs cannot be destroyed other than by being consumed by their mothers, because they have not been born."
  • "And the mothers are truly immortal until they consumed all of their childrens eggs. Because the eggs could not exist otherwise."
  • "This could explain why most titan's can so easily predict into the future. They may perceive time from both directions simultaneously."
• "Most titans are terrified of finding the eggs of their children, because they usually mean a step closer to their mortality."

"Amon is furiously searching for the egg of Bahamut, his mother, the mother of all elder dragons."

• "He wants to put an end to Tharascorn, mother of Bahamut, his greatparent."
• "Tharascorn has been one of the most dangerous threats througout the history of Drimea. He is truly immortal, currently banished on the island Pariah."
  • "Amon fears that Tharascorn will one day return to one of the prime continents to wreak havoc."
• "I happened to find the egg of the great dragon turtle Bahamut. I secured it here in the depths of the founder's graveyard."
  • "It was Morlin's idea to feed Amon with false prophecies about the return of Tharascorn, to keep the Lorekeeper busy, and out of our business."

"Back to topic. Titans are birthed in the future, which means the children are older than their parents, which means that the oldest titan's are actually the youngest."

• "Which would explain why titan's seem to get stronger. Their blood line doesn't get watered down, it gets stronger."
• "And brings us ultimately to the mother of all titans, the first, and the last. The Apex Titan."
  • "At least that is how Amon calls them."
• "His research indicates that we are only one or two generations of eggs away from the allfather."

"Amon is obsessed with this theory that when the Apex is born, the world will end."

• "I once read it in one of his notes. Let me explain."
• "This Memorandum is an artificial plane of existence that I have created long ago."
  • "I have used the arcana at my disposal to determine its rules and its manifestation."
  • "In other words, I have dreamt it into existence."
• "Now why would you think the reality outside of the Memorandum is any different?"
  • "The material plane is big, maybe endless. But it follows rules and manifests in a certain way."
  • "The feywild, the shadowfell, the astral plane. All of these layers of existence have different although similar rules."
• "Amon believes it was created by the Apex, or will be. Upon it's birth, moving backwards in time."
  • "We unfortunate creatures just perceive it in the wrong order."
  • "And when the apex is born, the world will end. Because there is no after."
  • "Amon is terrified of this. Maybe rightfully so, maybe not."

"It's funny how similar Amon and Morlin are. Morlin fears an entity he calls the Entropy."

• "Maybe they are afraid of the same thing..."

The Ancients & The Entropy

"This is what Morlin told me about the island Avalon and the ancients."

• "Morlin is older than most titans, older than Amon and even older than Ambrotam."
• "He says he was created to guard the island Avalon. He does not say from whom or what he guards it from. And he cannot go there himself."

"Avalon is the land of a species that populated the world millions of years ago. The ancients."

• "Back then, there were no planes of existence, just one reality."
  • "There was no magic, just raw energy."
• "The ancients must've strived to ascend into formless beings, to become part of the energies of the universe."
  • "They realized that the rules of existence are constant - and true."
  • "So in their quest to ascension, they build a device to change the rules of reality."
• "And I think they succeeded - to a degree. They broke the universe into layers, creating the planes of existence."
  • "And then they vanished. Maybe they ascended, maybe they died when reality shattered. Hard to say."
  • "The threads that hold the planes together, the leylines, they break the rules of the universe. They allow us to cast spells and grant us the absurdest abilities."

"Morlin calls it a disaster, a perversion of the dreamers world."

• "He says it attracted the Entropy, that feeds upon the magic. And in time, the entropy will consume everything."
• "He doesn't have tangible proof of this, but you know how Morlin can be. However, I don't think he is lying. His fear is real."

Avalon

"Back to Avalon, the remnants of the ancients that hosts the device that can change the rules of reality."

• "I call it the Delimiter."
• "And I believe it has been used a second time."
• "I have found the island once, I have been inside of the device."
  • "It is massive. But I could only see a tiny fraction, before my body was destroyed in a trap - and I had to find my way back into another body."
    • "I saw pictures of the ancients. And glimpses of what happened to them."
• "I spoke to an echo. It told me that a silver dragon was fighting with a humanoid creature. Amon and Morlin's avatar."
  • "It told me that this has happened many times. The silver dragon always won, then used the device to turn himself a god."
    • "And moments later, the world has ended. Again and again."
  • "Then the time rewinds, centuries backwards - always to the same moment - just as something falls from the sky."
    • "Could be the ancestors. Although I cannot explain what their involvement in this is. Maybe they came to prevent the world from ending and they did something that allowed time to fall back. I don't know."
• "Anyways. This time, the silver dragon lost. For the first time."
  • "Which would mean Morlin won. Or at least my predecessor that was guided by Morlin, his avatar."
  • "I think HE used the device to start the Age of Darkness. I don't know exactly what he did, Morlin won't tell."
    • "But it changed the usual timeline. The world goes on, ... so far."
• "That means Amon would've ended this world, whether willingly or not. Maybe he even had good intentions."
  • "Morlin told me that Amon started the Age of Darkness, that he was responsible for the deaths of thousands, maybe millions. And that he blamed Morlin."
  • "But the truth seems so much more complex. I think I might have judged my old master too rashly."

"But... You.. cannot ask him for aid. As soon as you step out of the Memorandum, Morlin will know, and he will punish you for plotting against him."

• "Use the time in the memorandum to find out more. Create another simulacrum and keep our future self updated."

Plans

"You know, this is exhausting on my own. We need help. I have modified my memories in a way that we believe that Leylith has to enter the memorandum. I am sure she will be able to find this secret section. Her mind is not connected to Morlin like mine."

• "I have arranged her release from Ema Thalor. But I had to make a plan that doesn't make Morlin suspiscous, so I told him that I'm bringing the old Hand back together."

"Morlin's plan is still to destroy the Delimiter and merge the realms back into a singular universe. He thinks it will repell or at least delay the Entropy."

• "And you, my dear Abraxas, will have to follow this plan, because it is part of the pact."
• "But of course, we won't do that. Leylith, you must stop me. Kill as often as you have to."

"Use the device to fulfill our dream, rid the world of suffering, make everyone equal. No one has to work anymore."

• "And take down Morlin and the Titans to our level. True equality. It will work. I know it."

"Well some so called adventurers just killed Leylith. I think she knows about the plan already, but her death comes with a big set back."

• He massages his temples...

"I will move the base to the Vault of Kathura. No one should find us there, it is naturally guarded against divinations. The teleportation circle is almost ready to be used there as well."

• "I will take the Iron Army with me, and when time is ripe, the people of Zeantis shall have them. Of course they are not enough for everyone, but I'm running out of time."
• "At the very least, it's a distraction, to buy us time."

"Leylith has returned successfully. The base is running. This time, nothing can stop us."

• "I only need to free Ajasi from the Candlekeep, everything has been set into motion already."

"After the hand is full, we're going to start the war. It is not what I want. But what Morlin dictates."

• "While the Delimiter still feeds the leylines with magic, it collects anti-magic, the pollution set free when casting spells - or ending a life."
• "I have measured the anti-magic levels over the past centuries with the black glass pyramid, the Delimiter is soaking it like a siphon."
  • "When the balance between magic and anti-magic reaches an equilibrium, the device will become stable enough to destroy it - or use it."
  • "A world scale war should produce enough anti-magic to get to the proper level."
• "Delaying the war will just increase the risk of someone interfering. We must keep the titans busy and turn their gaze towards other topics."

"So, we will provoke more nations to join the war on Avalon. That is the most important thing."

• "On the last snowfall of winter, it will happen."

"Ajasi will go to Iscaron, persuade Tyrar to drop the Forbidden Mist that conceals Avalon."

"I will go to Alyf and gather the nations under Cindras command."

• "She said she will attempt to keep the other elder dragons, and especially Amon, away from the island."
• "In return, I promised her, that we will use the device to revive Ruojing. Which we will obvously not do. There are already enough titans."

"Marutuk will go to the Bloodswamp and lead the Lizardfolk armies."

"Leylith will release our collection of creatures into the Zeantis Empire."

• "Her little pet will summon the Crowfather to keep the Ravenmother busy."
• "I can't know what Leylith is doing to advance her secret plan to hinder us from destroying the Delimiter. I have to trust her."

"Ezekiel will stay in Drimea to infiltrate and manipulate the governments into joining the war."

• "His loyalty to Morlin is out of question, he will be a tough enemy for Leylith."

You take in everything that was said, then notice a very very slow "tock" sound in the background that immediately lets you all fall into panic. The ever present guidance clock that seemed to have stopped or accelerated so fast that it cannot be heard was apparently still ticking, very slowly. Shaevera doesn't waste time and exits the Memorandum while you take a few seconds longer to react.

You exit the Memorandum and find yourselves in a dusty old archive. It is dawning on you that a lot of time must've passed since you entered the cursed object just hours ago.

Outside, your believes are confirmed when you consult with General Reilgar, who tells you that roughly 150 days have passed on their side, bringing you closer to the end of winter - and with that the begin of the war - than you have wished...
