We should focus on this book.

[Keyleth] These symbols show the sky
at a specific time and date.
Look at this.
[Keyleth] I think it's a ziggurat.
It wasn't a spell book. It was an instruction manual.
The drawings, the symbols...
It all had to do with that name.
Uh, the wha... what was it?
The-the Whispered One.
The Whispered One?
- You've heard that name? - Once.
Uh, from an elder of the Everlight.
They said he's some sort of undead creature
whose soul seeks the power to return to our plane.
I get the book, the maps, but what's with the star chart?
It's the solstice,
when the barrier between the planes is the thinnest.
Oh, sure, sure, the planes.
Yeah, yeah. What does that mean?
If this Whispered One wants to cross over,
now is the time to do it.
And the Briarwoods must be trying to help him.
I don't give a shit what they're doing.
I just want my brother back.
[chanting in foreign language]
The Whispered One is coming.
Once he returns,
you and I will be together forever.
Let any who would stop us shatter
against what we have built.
