Episode Summary

The campfires are lit, but no one is really resting.

Deep in the Verdance Forest, the party finally has enough quiet to ask the questions that have been waiting too long. Zeph learns more about the mother he lost, the father he never knew, and the royal bloodline that left him behind. Seraphina finds herself tied to a name from the Fey Realm. Basagar reaches into the First Blood and hears something reaching back.

And then the old map opens.

What was carried out of Virelia may be more than a way forward. It may be a warning, a confession, and the first real clue to what the First Blood cost.

The Heartwood is waiting.

So is Oryx.
