## Summary

The party, with a subdued Lucius in tow, make their way to the Starsorrow Cathedral where they hope to have Quill revived. There, a priestess says she is happy to help if provided with a fee and the spell's required components, including an aetherium rod. They head to the palace and meet with Sky Prince Aridan who is sympathetic and happy to assist, and Ellois, Aridan's royal mage. Lucius is granted a large sum of money as part of his family’s will and he uses this to pay for the rod and the other components required for the spell. They have Quill resurrected and he wakes with The Eye of the Storm, a new magical eye to replace his damaged one, granted by H’esper before his soul was returned to his body – this new eye allows Quill the ability to see events that happened in the past, are currently occurring, or may happen in the future as long as he asks the right questions. Pyri leaves them and takes a letter for Nova’s parents in the Genasi city of Vortinssar.

Lucius takes them to visit his old nanny, Norfir Tramadel, but her house appears empty and cold. Suddenly, they are set upon by a whirling dervish with daggers, until Norfir stops attacking when she recognises Lucius. She reveals that she believes that the Elenastos were killed by the Wind Barons and that Lucius may be in danger if it is discovered that he is still alive. Dying his hair and changing his clothing, Lucius hopes that this will make him unrecognisable and save him, but when they return to Norfir’s, they are attacked and the home is destroyed by some type of magical bomb. In the fight, many of the assassins are killed, although some escape and Quill’s jaw is broken. Quill is taken to Starsorrow Cathedral to fix his jaw and he uses the eye to ask firstly who sent the assassins to kill Lucius (a mysterious magic user), and secondly how Lucius’ father died (an explosion caused by a bomb similar to that used against Lucius at Norfir’s). They are accosted late at night by a masked figure, Moonstar, who denies that this is the real Lucius and advises them to leave the sky city forthwith, so they head back to rest at the palace.

Lucius uses his newly acquired wealth to commission a sky ship which they name the Stormchaser, and hire a crew to run it, most of whom are a pack of wolvern Beastwalkers known as The Wolf Pack, led by one named Kamarra. The rest of the party go to the Imperial Archives (a large library in the palace) where Nova researches the Eterna and also asks to meet with Dean Alessandra who has been cursed by vampirism but has an Eterna companion, Helios, a golden leonine man who can transform into a cloak of protection.

Quill uses the Eye of the Storm to see more information about the room from which the assassins were sent and it appears to be some sort of library, so they go to the palace library to see if they can find a similar room. When Nova discovers light coming from under a secret door, Aila uses her strength to open it and they head in to find the room that Quill had seen in his vision. There are papers that discuss the plans of the Wind Barons as well as another that chastises Ellois for failing to kill Lucius. They fight Ellois and his golem, accidentally killing Ellois in the process but collecting significant intelligence on the Wind Barons. On discussing various events with Moonstar, Quill uses the Eye of the Storm to discover that she is, in fact, Edea Elenasto, Lucius’ twin sister - she survived the explosion at the estate but has been in hiding using her alter ego as a disguise.

During the PAX West live oneshot episode which was later declared canon, Quill and Aila are transported to another plane of existence where they and two others meet with Lady Duskwillow, a powerful Drider, who has summoned them to her to get their assistance in organising a party. The group is given three tasks to complete with failure resulting in a curse being placed on them. They succeed in their quests resulting in all four each being given a coin that will allow them a single wish.
