As morning arrives over the City of Havnok, our heroes are whisked away through teleportation to the Lighthouse again. As soon as they arrive, Reginald Briar, their Handler, debriefs them and gives them the tasks of handing over the Black obelisk to the people in the Arcanium and meeting with Ihab to sort out their dwelling in the tower. After a dense disagreement with the Head Arcavist, Opal persuades him to start researching this artifact sooner rather than later, and Pinky gets a peek at what these researchers spend most of their time doing. The Party then has the pleasure of working with Ihab to make a door and personalized rooms for each. The party splits once everyone is settled in, with Opal and Adelaide going to the Chapel of the Sun and Moon and the others heading down to the Service room. Moss asks if he could be trained in the art of medicine. Ren and the others have a meeting with Ilain Bjernhart, the Keeper of the service room. They discuss Ren's family, their predicament, and curses in general. She calls Barren a witch and he storms off. On their travel to the Chapel of the Sun and Moon, Opal opens up on the true nature of her calling as the Hero of Lillies. She isn't just a descendant, but the literal same soul as the first and every Opal that has come, and she fears that she has no agency in what her life becomes and if her pattern will ever end on her worn soul. Once in the Chapel, Opal and Adelaide seek answers but none come for the moment. Back at the Lighthouse, Alia brings her companions to the Commons where Barren reveals to Ren the fate of his family as they were killed for the crime of being witches, crimes they didn't commit.
