The Trident Key

The Trident Key is the third character quest in the Sabre of Meitor campaign. Focused on the desperate hunt for the Trident Key by the Heroes of Time, it is the third instance of time travel in the story.

Plot
Arriving at the Isle of the Ancients, the heroes are surprised at being joined by Harry. Heading to the temple, the group are greeted by a heavily injured Nekro Sander who explains taking his sister from the battlefield took a toll on him.

Xaro appears, and the heroes explain their plight. Xaro nods and responds that they need to learn what happened to Drew Seld on his final mission to Bergahorn. The group are then taken to Twin Ruins in 345 UB. Startling the Trident Commander, the group do their best to convince Drew to head to the Tropical Graveyard to hide the key.

Surprisingly, Drew is sympathetic to the heroes, and offers to hide the key for them. The group are then introduced to Jiamat, a young green dragon who flies them to the Tropical Graveyard. Upon arrival, they find the cave empty, with no trace of the monster inhabiting it. Questioning if Trident really does become corrupt, Drew and the heroes argue how best to proceed, especially since the heroes had no guarantee the key was still there in the present day.

All of this is brought to a sudden end as Harry purposefully traps Jiamat in the cave and demands the key be handed to him. Although the heroes aren't best pleased, they nevertheless agree to take the key back to the present with them.

Back on the Isle of the Ancients, Xaro gives the heroes the option of splitting up where they are sent back to. Harry offers to take the key and burn it at the Fire Shrine at Pyre Summit, to which they wish him good fortune...
