The importance of family and beef milk are explored in a short but sweet episode surrounding the mystery of the Desert Rose. Charles returns after his quick boot back from Granitas, connections are made and connections are missed. High octane emotions and a drunken game of dice explores what could be, what should be, and quite frankly what needs to happen with beef milk ice cream.

Charles departs with Wyltt and Hollis back to Granitas on a separate matter, the First being leaderless decides to press forward with their investigation. Making friendly with the familiar Minotaur Karturrok Silverhorn, the companions traverse the city and begin unravelling discontent amongst the people. Unfortunately a fateful encounter in their inn room knocks them down a peg.

Hot off the tails of the battle between the companions and the Decadent, the players brought themselves to the Tower to speak with Ulysses Windleaf. Upon discovering a myriad of truths, the companions were captured by the now praetor former magistrate Aristotle Du'Mont. More revelations, more heart ache, and the next chapter begins. 

After a devastating loss, the companions now must escape the Decadent's mansion. Warlock puzzles ahead, and Ulysses Windleaf reveals some startling revelations as the companions discover more of their origins and the cosmic connection they seemed to have forged. What awaits the heroes? And what is Wyltt about to ask for? 

The companions formulate a plot to save Leigh Fancy from the clutches of the Decadent, benefactor of the Unseen Eldritch and council member ruling over the Tower. Together with the help of their companions Wyltt and Tiny, they infiltrate the Decadent's mansion and uncover a larger plot at work.

The companions find out some startling news about Opulence and a certain declaration, not only that but apparently some terrorists have been going around the country causing all kinds of heinous acts **SPOILER** only to find out it's them. Whatever light the party has been painted in, it seems like their goals remain true. Now stuck in a city of magic, they must make due.

The companions fight off deadly Hobgoblins with a wall of fire, meet a mysterious magistrate, uncover a few secrets, and make strange with the new magical city they find themselves in. All the while Opulence's declaration of war puts everyone in unease, and it seems like an entire city has something to say about it. With a very awkward rambly opening, the next chapter for the companions is about to begin.

The companions finish their talks with the Lich Wyllt and say goodbye to their party member Remora. Reuniting with Zeke and Allora, the group decides to meet with the princes Eugene and Erik. After a disappointing meeting, a strange realisation, a mysterious Dwarf, and a fellow Arcane user in the form of Nilus, the group leaves the capital city of Goldcrest and ventures south. Opulence isn't what it seems.

The companions finally make their way to Goldcrest after deciding to travel with Behelam's caravan. After a funeral at the temple of Tyr, and talking with a prince, the companions under the urging of  Remora (guest Fosta) travel down into the sewers to meet a strange character, with a strange hobby.
