The Jungle Dragon falls and Trahearne is slain
After a 43-day campaign the Pact slays Mordremoth — the Commander destroying the dragon's mind within the Dream while allies break its body — but Marshal Trahearne, made the dragon's vessel, must die by the sword Caladbolg to end it for good.
The final assault unfolded on two fronts. As the coalition's forces battered Mordremoth's physical body at Dragon's Stand, the Commander and a chosen band entered the Dream — the shared mindscape of the sylvari — to fight the Elder Dragon mind to mind, where it was strongest. Both fronts succeeded, and the second Elder Dragon of the modern age was brought down, the whole campaign reckoned at forty-three days.
Victory carried a bitter price. Marshal Trahearne, the sylvari firstborn, had been captured and made into Mordremoth's vessel, a seed of the dragon's consciousness left blossoming inside his mind. To prevent Mordremoth from reclaiming all it had lost, the Commander struck Trahearne down with the greatsword Caladbolg, ending both the marshal's life and the Jungle Dragon for good.
