Our party discovers that Ellywick's soul is now residing within the gauntlet Nikolas made to suppress the ice blight cursing her. Ben believed it was in everyone's best interest to keep Elly with her party in hopes she could be brought back, so Verity was entrusted with her friend's arcane tether. 

Once back in the ballroom, Atlas's midnight speech was interrupted by the assailant, a possessed Tomas! He brought forth a portal between the material plane and the Shadowfell so the party crashers could do just that. The battle that ensued was not without loss, as dozens upon dozens of lives were lost, including Atlas's fiance-to-be, Raffael. However, Ariana had other plans when she cast a new, unique spell to return and restore Raff's life force. But at what cost?

We are a Dungeons and Dragons 5e actual play focussed on roleplay over combat. Dragging themselves out of the chaos from their royal assassination, Verity, Elly and Ariana are in mourning. Reclaiming her title, Princess Verity faces her need to repent for past murders. Ariana struggles with what it means to be two souls in one body. Elly finds herself turned to ice, as she delves with powers beyond her. 

They are joined by new allies, Lenore, Taabi and Brilia. Lenore, a follower of the Raven Queen, finds herself drawn to helping these lost young women (and freeing herself). Taabi, a nomadic Tabaxi, who will do anything to survive, and seeks the secrets of the dead. Brilia, a former housewife turned adventurer who learned her warlock abilities to protect her partner, Kos.
