== Plot ==
===Part 1 ===
The first part of this episode is a meta discussion about leveling up to Level 21 and what that means for them as players.
===Part 2===
* The gods stand in the crater, experiencing the snow for the first time, and talk about what just happened. They decide to go to the village they saw on their way here, Hellathen, but as they arrive, Ünen is gone. Instead, they can see a large number of people gathered around the gates, looking in their direction. They can feel that Ünen is still on material Regolus but also not. Instead of looking further, they decide to talk to the people of the village that are coming closer and showing respect to the beings in front of them. Ystävä tells them to not be afraid as they cleared the woods from the fire. As one of them steps forward to ask if that is true and Ystävä confirms, a few of the villagers move forward to see it for themselves. As an even more demonstration of their power, Ystävä creates a phoenix made of fire that flies to sit on their arm and Nevrik touches the earth to start the rebirth of nature and to help the life around them grow again. As Ystävä lets the phoenix go, they give a small speech to the people that are left around them before asking for their leaders: 
“Where there is death, there is life. We are the Gods of the Afterlife, the Cycle and the Children of the Elements. We are your protectors; we are yours as you are ours. My name is Ystävä and this is Nevrik and we are your gods and your friends.” (02:07:10).
* People around them show worship and as they point in a direction, the gods see two individuals standing there, who introduce themselves as the leaders,  Pollara and Castorel. They were entrusted with the keeping of Hellathen and its noble purpose but are ready to follow the orders of the gods and devote themselves to the gods. Hellathen shall be known as a haven for those who wish to follow the ways of the gods as it was them that freed the people from this ongoing fire. Nevrik leaves them a sign of protection at their gates of their symbols whereas Ystävä creates a crown that they place on Pollara’s head as a symbol for whoever bears this crown shall also bear the favor of Ystävä and Nevrik. People around them are awe-inspired and overwhelmed with the blessings they received and their eyes follow them even more after Ystävä turns into a phoenix themselve and flies away. Nevrik stays a bit longer to talk to Castorel, who seems to be stressed. He gives him a Divine Focus, a feather from Nevrik’s wings, as a way to channel magic himself in the future. As Nevrik is about to go, Castorel, instead of turning back to Heart of God to report what happened, makes his way up North. Before Nevrik can see more, he turns into a Pegasus and follows Ystävä back to Kirrehan’s demi-plane.
* Ystävä arrives first and sees Kirrehan deep with his head in the orb. Ystävä starts telling him what happened and shows him the crystal that they found to maybe find out more information but Kirrehan does not know more but would like to research more about it if they let him. Ystävä still wants to build a cult and Kirrehan has some tips for them.
* Kirrehan also tells them that dealing with the water is still on his checklist but he can’t do it himself. People seem to get lost when trying to cross the water and he doesn’t know the reason behind it. He is still more interested in the crystal and Ystävä notices that he has his own interests in it that he is not telling them about.
* Nevrik arrives and they talk about the changes in the weather that they made just as Kirrehan tells them that they smell great because they dealt with the being in the woods and the remaining parts fell around them. They should talk to Yla or Dami-Yno about it because they know more about it or can work with it and it might freak out the people down on Regolus if they stay in their area too long. They decide to do that and head back to the Hearth (and also learn how to influence how much time will pass during their travels).
