The party has been put under house arrest. After 2 days of starvation, Gram and Pierre were released from the dungeon for agreeing to cooperate. Arthur Prio and Naron have planned a parade to show off the prophecy, culminating in them bending the knee to Naron.

Carmen approached the party and asked them to support her in opposing Naron at some point. They said no. In the dead of the night the party was kidnapped from their rooms by Naron. Pierre mentioned important information the party had. Naron told them that he would give them what they've requested in exchange for 1) this information; 2) publicly bending the knee and swearing an oath of loyalty and fealty to Naron and House Ertu, as well as publicly declaring the prophecy's support of him as the rightful lord of Penright and Duke of the Greenwood. Pierre insulted Naron and Naron imprisoned him. Gram fought this and was also imprisoned. It appears that Junia, Roke, and Tariq are under house arrest in the castle.

The party encountered a giant riot beginning due to the double taxation in Penright. They then witnessed the execution of a westerling. When the westerling was revealed Carmen told the party that she did not believe that it was actually J'roq.
