With the trial of the past behind them, the party heads into the trial of the present.  They face a challenge that slows everything down as they race to save an old friend, but they begin to discover that not everything in these trials is exactly what they expected.  Can they complete the trial while staying true to their own morals?  The celestials will be the judge of that.

As the party gets ready to begin the trials, they must come to terms with the myriad of rules set in place by the celestials.  The more they learn, the more they come to understand how little they truly know of this process.  But their ignorance is no reason to put off what they came all this way for.  The knowledge they could earn is worth far too much to turn back now.

With the confrontation behind them, Veil, Darvin, and Arannis simply need to wrap things up in Veil's memories before heading back out into the temple.  For Veil, leaving may not be as simple as just saying good-bye.  There is much left to do back in the real world, and time was not standing still for those in the temple.

Perseverance's final mission is not as easy to complete as Veil had hoped.  Losing the element of surprise, and facing a tougher target than expected, the party will need to hope for the best.  Patches isn't alone, and he keeps dangerous company.  Veil, Arannis, and Darvin have a difficult fight ahead of them, but the biggest danger may lie behind an unforeseen offer....

Exploring the memories of Veil's childhood leads the party through the boroughs of Vermillion.  They have a time, they have a location, and they have a target.  But if their assumptions are true, then there must be more to the small elven boy than they ever knew.  With less than a day to go, just how will they prepare to face this possibly deadly target?

A feeling of betrayal and loss follows Veil as they turn their back on those they believed to be friends.  While a new and friendly face tries to lift their spirits, the rest of the party must decide what to do next.  Can they get what they want and win back the trust of their friend, or will they simply have to soldier on?  Sometimes a creative solution can require risking even more.

Veil, Darvin, and Arannis hit the countryside again as they finally head to The Temple of St. Fallaron.  There's plenty of time for fun and to get to know their new horses along the way.  The knowledge they seek at the temple is extremely valuable and extremely dangerous.   Such information does not come cheap, and someone will need to decide if it's a price they are willing to pay.

It's a magical shopping time as the party returns to Kapras!  Patches has promised each of them an item of their choice for the return of Tayne's Mask and he has quite the selection.  Darvin, Arannis, and Veil also find a surprise waiting for them on a bulletin board, but maybe it's not as bad as it seems?  They don't plan on spending much time in Kapras, but they do get the chance to make some new friends.

Tayne may be gone, but he left behind even more questions...and the body of a young boy.  With a group of strangers fast approaching, what will Darvin, Veil, and Arannis do?  They have what they came for, but the dead chaos mage's home could hold more secrets.  And is the party in any condition to keep these strangers at bay?

Despite all his power, Tayne seems mostly to be left alone.  He just doesn't take kindly to those who would trespass, neither do his centinid friends.  With the very ground pulled from beneath their feet, and Veil robbed of their sight, can the party overcome this servant of Pathox before his power destroys them?
