Background¶
Augustine introduces himself as one of the expedition leaders from the Tower of Annihilation and is the initiator of the Flame-Frost mission; only he can obtain the two monster kings' boundary-shifting knowledge, which he will likely trade for plane-building resources.18 His departure for reinforcements was meant to lower the living plane's guard and to fetch enough wizards to run the ship-plane.14
