The PCs travel to the Shadowfell, finding themselves in a barren wasteland scoured by incessant winds. The trip to the Mausoleum of the Keeper tests their stamina, and leaves several of them fatigued.
They come upon a magical arch, guarded by a Storm Giant Quintessent. The giantess tells the party she's no friend of Shadowthrone nor the Keeper, who usurped the mausoleum of the giant kings she swore to protect. The party convince her they share a goal, and she gives them mystical tablet that will help them avoid the magical traps placed in the mausoleum. The she allows them to pass through the arch.
Inside the mausoleum the PCs face a few traps, and learn more about the storm giants, until they arrive at the altar room. there they find the Keeper with is Book of Oaths, and several Angels of Death waiting for them.
Battle is joined, and the PCs emerge victorious. When they destroy the Keeper, the remaining angels run away in terror. The party proceeds to destroy the Book of Oaths, freeing both Broch and Tarlyn from their deal with Shadowthrone. The god of death does not take kindly to this insult, and briefly appears to swear vengeance.
With their oaths dissolved, the party now turns to the next leg of their journey. In order to free those souls that have already been claimed by Shadowthrone, they'll have to travel to the Well of Souls, a mystical nexus said to be located in Nightwyrm Spire, the lair of the mysterious Urishtar.
