== Plot ==
=== Part 1 ===
* The group just entered the Chamber of the Moon, where they plan their next steps. They decide to rest and get rid of their exhaustion before they move on, so Angelo casts a few spells to give them a safe space to do so. Because Terra does not need to sleep, she waits till her compatriots are asleep before she contacts Rhelikk, wanting to hear his side of the story before it is too late. Rhelikk agrees, telling her that she is right in thinking that Rhelikk is, as his kin were, emissaries but not of what Terra thinks. They toil for the same being as Terra does and they might be able to reach a conclusion that is amenable to everyone. A disk of light appears that Terra steps into, believing that they can parley without causing any harm to anybody. 
* The rest of the group wakes up after a long rest, Terra nowhere to be seen. Urzok says they don‘t know where she is but that they are in the second phase of worthiness so nobody would have taken her away. 
* Ignis investigates the room. As she steps in front of each door indicating a different cycle of the moon, a voice appears with a riddle for each door and they have to gather three different gemstones to gain the worthiness of seeing the savior. They step through the first door.
* Terra steps through the portal and arrives at the sanctum of the tower, where Rhelikk and a few other Krill wait, first one with the cloak draped across his shoulders. Happy to talk in peace, Rhelikk reveals that they serve they who lurks behind every shadow, that which dreams and guides most to a gentle, final sleep, the faceless one and shepherd of the Eclipse. The cloak was a gift from his current employer some time ago. Rhelikk reveals to Terra that they have been working for Ystävä, apparently assigned the mission to dismantle Yla and the Crucible. "I have been laboring for many seasons in an attempt to pierce the light which has burned those who I serve for so long," Rhelikk confesses, adding, "... which way would darken the heavens best." (01:11:32) and „to put an end to its reign“ (01:17:23). But also he wants to find a home for the Krill, bringing them a place to rest and be without having their territory and lives threatened. Terra tells Rhelikk about her deal with Ystävä and that they want their cloak back and thereby the power that was stolen. In the end, it seems like one of them will have to fail their task in order for the other to succeed. Questioning each other's motives, they still don‘t want to fight each other but Terra decides to go back to her family. She receives a way to contact „the servant of the Eclipse“ (01:23:21) and takes a look back at Ystvävä‘s cloak before she steps through the portal again. 
* The group has just stepped through the first door, where they need to figure out a way to reach the gemstone way up above them, just as Terra appears. She tells them what Rhelikk told her, they discuss where they stand and agree that they have to stop whatever bad is happening here. They are able to move through the lightning and rocks in the room and get the first gemstone before they return back to the Chamber of the Moon.
=== Part 2 ===
* To get the next gemstones, they decide to split up. Angelo, Ignis and Terra go into the next room, where they have to fight a version of themselves, and Xerephina and Urzok step into the third room, where they have to handle gravity and massive pressure and heat to break the moon and get the third gemstone before they all meet back in the Chamber of the Moon. 
* As the tree gemstones light up, Rhelikk speaks again, offering to draw them straight to their goal if they agree to some terms. No one wishes to do any harm to one another, so Rhelikk opens a way to speak eye to eye with them. Before they jump through the portal, Urzok says goodbye as it is not their time yet to meet the savior but will instead see that Trix gets back safely to the ship.
* Back in the sanctum where Terra and Rhelikk met before, they all discuss their goals: Rhelikk wants to „punch a hole in order and establish something new, to continue a work started long ago“ (03:28:49), using the gods‘ own power to forge a third home in the heavens for the Krill and end the sun and their powers. Angelo reminds them of a story he once heard about a religious and overzealous cult of people on the coast that tried to bring the sun‘s grace upon earth. Rhelikk agrees as that is exactly the same work and that what was started and opposed in the town off the shoreline all those years ago has come to this; known through the eons as Moonrise. That work that has started there, ends now according to him, if he can get the help from the group with one final push. Ignis disagrees, as Rhelikk does not see the consequences that ending the sun would bring. But the others are questioning if the gods would/might be able to create a way in which the sun is not needed as they were the ones that decided how things work in the first place. Terra asks for Ystävä but they don‘t answer, so Angelo asks Rhelikk if he knows a way to get to the moon so they can get the answers they need. Rhelikk explains that with the help of the cloak, it would be possible to bring them all there. But using the cloak in that way might be the reason why the afterlife is unraveling. Terra asks about why Rhelikk and two others tried to kill Ystävä back then, if they now work for the god. To make things more clear, Rhelikk tells them the story about how he and two other individuals attempted to supplant godhood on themselves, selfishly so as he admits now, but instead found a group of supreme beings in utter disarray because one of them was recently lost. They helped the being that they are bound to to leave this realm to visit this lost friend and were gifted the cloak for that. They did not kill Ystävä but assisted in passing. He only had this one goal all this time, to end the sun, but would be thrilled to seek other paths if they remain open. The group in front of him gave him a new perspective on things so he will aid them to get them all the answers they need. 
* With a warning that they might find themselves with a new vessel traveling the divine realm, Angelo, Ignis, Terra, Xerephina and Rhelikk travel to the Moon, leaving the mortal realm behind.
