In the sweltering heat of a new city, the group finds no rest—only revelations. Behind Sweetwater’s temple walls awaits Mother Jana, who not only confirms Egersund's dire state but unveils the unthinkable: a cure may be possible—if they can deliver an undead soul. But the greatest shock comes from Amy, who greets the high priestess as an old friend. Who is this girl? And what else is she hiding?
A suspiciously fast “old lady” leads Vegard and Hans into yet another terrible idea, and the rest of us follow like idiots. One magical fireball, one creepy kid in a sailor suit, and one magically locked cage later—we crowbar our way back to freedom. Somehow. We escape into the woods, send an owl for help, and get our first cryptic answer: go to Finnsbury. Salithius is dangerous, confusing, and probably the worst host ever.
