The Rise of Hei Hei

The first alliance to frequent the Braided River will find that, in the center of the river, there is, quite strangely, a whirlpool wreaking havoc. As they watch, the whirlpool begins to darken, then bubble, before something emerges from the depths - a giant, wet, distressed avian muttation recognizable from eight years prior. Once the muttation’s torso emerges, it stops rising - almost as if it is stuck where it is. The mutt, clearly distressed by this latest turn of events, begins to scream in a high pitched wail. This is going to be a long day.
