Controlling the Illusion

The better things are, the worse they get. Tep finally figured out what's been going on, and immediately tried to block our access to the illusory world for good. He failed: we have unraveled enough knots so that he's no longer in complete control. I hope that this realization triggered at least one hundredth of the horror that he had been inflicting on every Sarnaut denizen for ages.
Now we are hiding from his legions of mechanized undead in the real world, playing tug o' war, if you will. If Tep regains control over his illusion, we are finished. We must tear the illusory world from his grasp as quickly as we can. And I think I know where we can find the right knot.
Thanks to you, we have discovered that Tep controls the illusion with the help of the Immortals, who dwell in the Crystal Palace. That is where we must look for him. Especially since you've already been blessed by the Tekyan ancestral spirit.
But you had better hurry: all our efforts will be lost if we get devoured by the rusty undead in the real world!

Illusion and reality are drawing ever closer. There is a real war being waged in both worlds, with real victories and defeats.

You are amazing! The web is snapping and unraveling like an old shawl. It's literally hanging on by a thread!
