A barbarian named Thorbjørn asks to join the party, he is from Arcadia and wishes to unite Bravo. Thorbjørn claims that he had heard of what the party is trying to accomplish and wishes to help them unite the island. The party accept him to join, even though Korrin and Flinthart are suspicious of his motives.
Zai speaks with the Elven Diplomat about their task of reuniting the island and killing the Kraken. The elf gives a half-hearted committal to join forces with Yaka in fighting the Kraken.

===Day 250===
The party arrive at the ruins of Hearthome, a city destroyed 1500 years ago during the Breaking of Arcadia.
:You are walking amongst the ruins of a great city. A tower falls broken along against the mountain side, collapsed and part of it still going up, rest going horizontal. There is a large wall here that is overgrown. You only realise it at the top but if you kick around at the bushes you can see there are vines have grown up and causing a ramp, but it is actually a huge pile of brush. There are all sorts of things here, most of it is ruined stone you can't see, but every now and then there is half of a domed building or structures carved into the face of the mountain a few miles away. It looks like the mountains rose beneath the structures and has made the ground into the face of the mountain. They see a beautiful stone mosaic floor in a temple that is now on the face of the mountain.
Zai figures that the only parts of the ruins that wouldn't have been looted would be the part of the city that has been risen up the side of the mountain.
===Day 251===
The party explore where Hearthome meets the mountain. The stone mosaic had a blue image of some kind. On the mosaic they find the entrance to a dungeon. The party decide to head inside.
