Also “The Eye” is some type of map. A little known legend says that “The Eye” leads to a temple, built by an ancient and powerful race as a repository for all their knowledge and might. According to the legend, the power contained within the Temple will grant anyone, who stands on the Alter within, mastery over his fellow man, and the ability to move among them unseen. The group is then contacted by the strange cloaked figure via comlink. The man calls himself Dhar Bullwin and old and powerful Dark Mage. Dhar does not threaten the group, but merely asks for the return of the “Eye of Koda”, which he says, rightfully belongs to him. The group refuses to return “The Eye”, and Dhar vows to seek vengeance.

Santhou also reveals that they seem to be under the control of Dhar. The group, after some time, convinces the Tempestro that Dhar is the enemy. The group is released by the Tempestro and go after Dhar. The group sees that the Dhar has changed himself into a type of lizard creature, and begun to scale the walls of the Tower. Dhar soon enters the Temple. The group searches the base of the tower and finds a large vertical tablet. The tablet is embossed with gems and stones similar to that of “The Eye”. After a short time, Ledala sees that the stones are placed in the positions of the Koda star system. She then obtains “The Eye” from Santhou, and places it where Koda’s World should be.

Event: The group ascends the staircase with some Tempestro. At the top of the staircase, the group finds a large anteroom with an altar in the middle. In the platform is a brilliant column of light. In the column stands Dhar. He screams that he has gained the power mentioned in the legend of “The Eye of Koda”. Santhou and Daurek attack Dhar with the force and in turn Santhou is killed. Ledala and Rala also join the fight and seem to have no effect on the Dark Mage. A short time later, the Dark Mage screams in pain, and seems to be attacked by the light from the altar. In a brilliant flash, the Dark Mage is no more. A shimmering image of an ancient Tempestro clad in ceremonial armour stand in the altar. He tells the group that Dhar wished to use the power here for evil and greed. Because they had fought to save the tower, and destroy the evil, he grants each member a gift of their choice. Ledala requests knowledge of starships, Rala for knowledge in the use of weapons, and Daurek for the life of Santhou. Santhou is returned to life and Daurek given greater insight into the force. The temple soon begins to collapse, and the group and the Tempestro flee the Temple.
