The Astrarian threat to Vog Voldhur has been kept at bay for the time being, but if the Valcynes want to find a more permanent solution to their father's machinations, they may have to lean on the assistance of a few new friends.

After finding some unlikely allies, Team Valcyne faces down the haunting implications of their pasts. Phirora parses out power exchanges, both in Astraria and in her personal life. Leoril tries to find a new status quo. Nora does her best. Lorelei works out some complicated emotions. Between a brief moment of tranquility, a shopping montage, unrequested input on Aydra's relationship status, and a looming uncertainty about the future, our heroes make a potentially fatal mistake, and forget about the danger lurking just outside their door.

Leoril, Phirora, and several of their friends are in a very sticky situation. Some old friends save the day. Once again, the answers to most questions can be found in a library. Our heroes regroup and re-evaluate. The Valcynes rest their fates - and the fates of everyone they love - on a slim chance. A long-absent relative provides a new perspective on the past, which Leo and Phi are about to learn has a way of coming back to haunt them at the most inconvenient times.

Things are more difficult than expected as our heroes' return to Vog Voldhur results in unresolved issues and unexpected reunions. Leoril faces down the consequences of his past actions and affections. Phirora attempts to keep it all together. The only hope of stopping the Astrarian blockade is up a long railway to the capitol of Vog Voldhur, and the fate of the world hinges upon the Valcynes' ability to figure out that sometimes self-sacrifice isn't the answer to everything.
