Nhaulik began to yearn for the waters, making it's hollowed legion bathe in them, experimenting with it's effects. Eventually, this no longer satisfied Nhaulik's need for the substance. It instructed it's followers out into the bright day, letting him work alone. His legion followed each other into the morning sun, not knowing where to go. They began to walk towards Iron's Royal Palace, gazing upon it's almost finished structure. They entered through the gate and were stopped by Lizardfolk guards, the first they'd ever seen. Through their guttural noises, they explained that they were simply tasked by Nhaulik to leave the cave. Upon being let in, they marveled at the architecture, gazing at how the walls were engrained with flowery speech. Being close relatives of Iron, spawning from the same birthplace, they were anointed by the royal guards. After the entire ritual ended, they were to meet Iron during his recovery. Iron spoke to them briefly and with weak affect, giving them a message for Nhaulik. They began their week trip back, encountering no obstacles due to their grim looking nature. As they returned, Nhaulik was found lying down against the shale. They begun to try and wake it, however, it's slumber remained amaranthine. They noticed a clear lacking of water in the cave.
