Entry	Chapter	Description
"Eoren and Lyza"	Prologue	"Fearful of the sacrifice to come, Eoren and Lyza attempt to escape their home of Gudju. The Faerie looks on, worried about what their flight could mean for the future of the Earth Village."
"Duty Abandoned"	Prologue	"Eoren and Lyza find themselves confronted by villagers, patrollers, and even their friend Danam as they make their escape. Everyone pleads with Lyza to fulfill her duty as the new Alm of Earth. Without her sacrifice to the Mana Tree, the village will be destroyed. But Eoren refuses to listen and continues to fight his way through the village with Lyza at his side."
"The Earth Village's Downfall"	Prologue	"As foretold, Lyza’s departure affects the entire village. Gaian patrollers in the area violently transform into vicious golem monsters and attack them both. Eoren dispatches the enemies but finds that Lyza herself is turning to stone. Clutching her petrified hand in his, Eoren sobs in vain as Gudju crumbles to ruin around him."
"A Festival of Flame"	1	"Tianeea, the Fire Village, is preparing for the Faerie’s festival. Once every four years, the Faerie appears to name the next Alm of Fire, officially starting the pilgrimage to the Mana Tree. This year, Val has been chosen as the protector of the alms, the soul guard. Nervous and excited, he heads off to meet Hinna, his childhood friend, and take her to the festival."
"The Alm of Fire"	1	"There is no higher honor than being named an alm, as evidenced by the fervor of the Tianeean villagers when the Faerie arrives. After flitting around the bonfire, she finally comes to a stop on Hinna’s palm, proclaiming her the Alm of Fire. Her mission is to offer her soul to the Mana Tree and replenish the flow of mana. If she does not, her village will fall to a catastrophic disaster, like others before it. Eager to fulfill their respective duties, Val and Hinna set off on the pilgrimage."
"Eoren, the Mysterious Traveler"	1	"Val and "Hinna" iconHinna come across a fellow traveler along Charred Passage taking shelter from the cinders of Dorpher Volcano. Eoren introduces himself and asks the couple how they feel about the end that awaits them at the Mana Tree. Confused at Eoren’s question, Val confirms his wish to see his alm charges safely on their way. The three spend an agreeable night waiting for the volcanic rain to abate before continuing on their respective journeys."
"Beast and Boomerang"	1	"After an encounter with the mysterious Ramcoh, Val and Hinna find themselves with an elemental vessel called the Sylphid Boomerang. The children chasing after Ramcoh tell Val to return the vessel to the chief and so, Val and Hinna resume their trek to Longren, the Vale of Wind. They hope the chief can shed some light on the new Alm of Wind who will join their pilgrimage."
"Valed Misgivings"	1	"After arriving at the vale proper, the chief informs the convoy that the Alm of Wind has not been appointed. The traditional wind dyeing ceremony to summon the Faerie hasn’t even been performed yet. Careena, a talented young oracle, has refused to assist, despite the chief’s insistence. He implores Val to talk some sense into Careena before it’s too late."
"Until Careena Feels Like It"	1	"Val and Hinna" iconHinna find Careena, who correctly guesses that the chief sent them. She asks for help finding a young man named Shiriu before listening to anything they have to say. From the dismissive attitude of the other residents of the vale, Careena seems to have trouble being taken seriously. Val locates Shiriu, but Careena still refuses to help the vale. Instead, Shiriu suggests that Val try to do the wind dyeing ceremony."
"An Unexpected Appointment"	1	"Val fails spectacularly at wind dyeing. When Shiriu offers Hinna a chance to try, Careena has had enough. She pulls off an impressive display, immediately summoning the Faerie. When the Faerie’s gaze rests momentarily on Shiriu, he mistakes her attention as an alm appointment. Shiriu panics and runs away, leaving Careena heartbroken at Shiriu’s cowardly retreat. She then demands to be named the alm in his stead."
"A Whirlwind Decision"	1	"Faerie is unable to name the Alm of Wind without consulting with the elemental of wind. Careena decides to accompany the convoy to Mt. Gala to talk to Sylphid. However, before she can leave the vale, Careena needs to apologize to her friend Ramcoh for ignoring her since she and Shiriu got together. The two make amends, but instead of saying their goodbyes, Ramcoh decides to come with the convoy on their pilgrimage."
"Battle at Mt. Gala"	1	"The convoy locates Sylphid at the top of Mt. Gala, menaced by Mantis Ant. Together they manage to defeat the monster and save the elemental. Sylphid agrees that Careena would be the perfect candidate and with that, she is officially named the Alm of Wind. The group sets off on their way to the next village."
"The Frozen Drifts of Lefeya"	1	"Sixteen years past, Etaern, the Moonlit Parish, was destroyed and the surrounding area of Lefeya beset by devastating snowstorms. The convoy meets a dead-end in their path by way of a broken bridge. However, they see a mysterious light shining near the abandoned parish. Hoping to find another way forward, they set off toward Etaern."
"The Impassable Parish"	1	"Just as Val and the alms try to enter Etaern, they find their way blocked by Morley, a swordsman of the beastfolk tribe. He explains that the parish has lost the protection of the moon elemental. Now all who enter disappear into thin air. The only time anyone can pass through Etaern is during a new moon or an eclipse. They have a little time before the next lunar eclipse, so Morley asks for help in his search for the moon sphere."
"Morley and the Moon Sphere"	1	"Once they locate the moon sphere, Morley takes them back to his camp. As the moon is hidden in the sky, the scene at the bottom of the hill begins to change. Etaern looks as though no tragedy has ever befallen it, bustling and busy as ever. Morley swiftly makes for the parish with Val and the others following after him."
"The Tragedy of Etaern"	1	"A scene from sixteen years ago plays out before the convoy. They watch younger Morley climb the huge Lunar Sandglass, setting off a chain reaction. The sands of time scatter into the crowd, all who touch them vanishing into thin air. Present day Morley tries to use the moon sphere to reverse the damage to no avail. He has to watch his mother disappear before his eyes again. Young Morley runs out of town, closely followed by Val with the Luna Globe clutched in his hands."
"Lunar Revival"	1	"The lunar eclipse blurs the lines between past and present, causing Morley to relive his childhood memories. He and Val manage to subdue the monster ambush outside of town. Though Morley was unable to harness the power of the moon sphere, his thoughts of his mother revive the elemental of the moon, Luna. With her return, the parish is no longer doomed. The Faerie then announces Luna’s choice for the Alm of the Moon"
"Dashing Through the Steppe"	1	"On their way out of the freezing weather, the convoy encounters many new acquaintances, including a trio of Morley’s merchant sisters, a swordmaster known as Meelpa, and a small cactus creature. With the help of Meelpa’s trained pikuls, the convoy makes their way across the steppe toward Rhata Harbor."
"The Rhata Harbor Caper"	1	"From Rhata Harbor, the convoy intends to take a ship to the next continent. In her excitement to see all there is of the waterfront, Careena stumbles into a magistrate from Illystana, the Capital of the Deep. Passar then accuses her of stealing his missing key. To prove her innocence and save them from a watery demise, Val decides to look for clues around the town."
"Cleared for Boarding"	1	"Val locates Passar’s key and, with a little help from Eoren, manages to clear Careena’s name. Grateful that someone would come to her defense, Careena grows closer to her fellows as they prepare to set off on the Primm."
"Troubled Waters"	1	"Onboard the Primm, Eoren tells Val and Hinna of a time in the past when alms didn’t need to sacrifice their souls. While questioning the purpose of their own pilgrimage, a Kraken attack derails their voyage. They dispatch the monster and, with help from the wind spirits, reach their port across the ocean."
"Bustling Ledgas Bay"	2	"Eoren parts ways with the convoy as they head for Illystana. His own village of Gudju having fallen four years past, he wishes them luck with their travels. Morley talks about what Illystana, his second home after Etaern, has to offer. It’s also the place where his adoptive father lives. The convoy muses on the Alm of Water they have yet to meet as they cross Pritta Ridge."
"Sightseeing in the Capital"	2	"The Capital of the Deep holds as many curiosities as it does people. However, the group discovers that the Alm of Water has yet to be named. In addition, there is something disrupting the flow of water and unease is spreading through the town. Val and the alms are given the rest of the day to explore before the rites of initiation begin in the evening."
"Everyone's Escapades"	2	"Ramcoh visit the market, Morley takes care of an injured stranger in the fountain square, and Careena finds an interesting shop. Val tries the palace but is told that only alms are allowed in. The guards let slip that they’ve lost track of the queen yet again but encourage Val to buy some souvenirs in town while they sort it out. And so, Val finds himself heading in the same direction as Hinna."
"Rites and Ruses"	2	"Queen Palamena begins the rites of initiation but is interrupted by Passar’s surprise announcement. He knows that she was recently appointed as the Alm of Water. Palamena had meant to keep her status as the alm a secret until she could be certain that corrupt politicians like Passar would not abuse her absence and usurp the throne."
"Niccolo Was Framed!"	2	"The convoy learns that Morley’s adoptive father, Niccolo, has been framed for the recent spate of water troubles by none other than Passar. Niccolo is a respected and well-known merchant, with enough influence to rival that of Passar’s. Madeline tells the convoy that the issues appear to have started in the nearby Luka Ruins. Val and the alms make for the ruins to prove Niccolo’s innocence and capture Passar."
"Passar's Agenda"	2	"Using the powers of the Undine Flask, "Val" iconVal and the others traverse the Luka Ruins. In the furthest chamber, they find Passar and discover that he is the mastermind behind the water problems. Passar sics Fullmetal Hugger on the party, but they make quick work of the monster. After scoffing at the very concept of the alms’ sacrifice, the disgraced magistrate makes his escape, leaving Hinna awash in doubt."
"A Welcome Appointment"	2	"Newly released from prison, Niccolo meets the convoy of alms. Morley is surprised to hear that his father already knows of his appointment. Niccolo then asks Val to protect both his adoptive son and Palamena on their journey. Palamena in turn requests that Niccolo continue to aid her brother Iain as he ascends the throne. The party welcomes their new official Alm of Water with open arms."
"Twilight Blues"	2	"Val catches Hinna eyeing a pretty necklace before she quickly says she has no need of it on her alm’s journey. Instead, she asks Val to meet her by the pier to take in the sunset before the rites of initiation. Hinna goes on ahead and Val takes the opportunity to buy the necklace for her. When he gives it to her, it brings the smile back to her face. Together they return to the Sanctorium."
"An Intriguing Proposal"	3	"The convoy decides to wait for the Alms of Light and Darkness. While at the inn, Val’s worry for Hinna prompts him to sneak into the palace to see her. Hinna confesses that she’s scared of her duty and wishes she could instead stay with Val forever. The two are interrupted by Eoren. He says that if they wish to never be parted, they need only follow him to the pier to learn more about a future where alms don’t have to sacrifice their souls."
"Reignus Shrine Awaits"	3	"Eoren confides in Val and Hinna that his wife, Lyza, an old friend of theirs, was named the Alm of Earth four years prior. But after the destruction of Gudju, she’s unable to leave it. Eoren wants to change the world so that people like Lyza and Hinna won’t have to sacrifice their souls. To do that, he needs the powers of an alm. Val and Hinna decide to help Eoren, and the three of them set out for Reignus Shrine to prepare for a mysterious ritual."
"Ritual Sacrifice"	3	"Eoren assures the pair that the ritual merely borrows the life force of an alm, a power necessary to return the world to what it was in the days of Fa’Diel. However, Val quickly realizes that Eoren is tapping into his ability to turn living things into the corestones. Helpless to stop it, Val watches as Hinna’s soul is ripped from her body and stolen by Eoren. Val holds Hinna as she fades away, leaving only tears, regret, and her pendant necklace behind."
"The Convoy Endures"	4	"Val is lost after Hinna’s passing, unsure whether he has the right to protect anyone, let alone the alm convoy. Niccolo comforts him, stressing the importance of his duty to his friends and the world at large. Bolstered by the faith of his friends, Val resolves to find Eoren, reclaim Hinna’s corestone, and bring it to the Mana Tree. The convoy heads toward the Deade Cliffs and their goal, Illusia Isle, beyond."
"Wailing Waves"	4	"In Tsaata, Val learns of a mysterious wall of waves stopping any boat that tries to leave the harbor. At the same time, Palamena starts hearing a strange refrain in her head. Hoping for answers to both problems, the convoy sets off for the nearby Tatoh Temple. Before they go, Val is gifted the elemental vessel of fire, Salamando Candle. He leaves with Glyff’s searching words still ringing in his head."
"Vuscav and Vuscarina"	4	"A huge turtle statue stands in the middle of Tatoh Temple. Relics in the area trigger poem stanzas to play in Palamena’s mind. Once the sad poem of the prince and princess is complete, the statue turns into the sacred beast Vuscav. In his befuddled state, Vuscav attacks the convoy. After Vuscav regains his senses, he makes for the sea, reuniting with his princess, Vuscarina, and bringing a happy end to the tale from Tatoh Temple."
"Gudju in Ruins"	4	"Vuscav conveys the convoy across the sea to what remains of Gudju. There they find the sole inhabitant, a miner by the name of Watts. Val is eager to talk to "Lyza" iconLyza but discovers her body has turned to stone. Watts recounts what happened to her and Eoren, and how it led to the destruction of the village four years ago. He also gives the convoy the Gnome Shovel and tells them to look for Gnome in the Gamurda Mines."
"Gnome Bounces Back"	4	"The abandoned Gamurda Mines are full of monster nests. After defeating Jewel Eater, the party encounters Gnome. It turns out that the elemental had been swallowed up by the monster, which sapped him of his mana power. With Jewel Eater defeated, Gnome agrees to help the party grow the Jaque Seed. The convoy leaves Watts, Gnome, and Lyza and heads back to the Deade Cliffs."
"Custodian of the Borough"	4	"The Jaque Seed produces a humongous stalk that brings Val and the alms to Mylos Woods. They reach Verdeus Borough, home of the sproutlings, but it’s deserted except for Julei. The young sproutling informs the convoy that there’s no Alm of Wood yet and he hasn’t seen anyone like Eoren in the area. Julei leaves to see to his custodial chores, but Val chases after him in the hopes that they can learn more about what’s happened in the Borough."
"Withering Despair"	4	"The trees that Julei tends are, in fact, his fellow sproutlings. Custodians like Julei have to watch over their dormant friends while they await the naming of the new alm. Only a blooming sproutling can be chosen as the alm, but since there are no blossoms yet, Julei has given up on a future for the borough. Knowing they need an Alm of Wood, the convoy decides to help Julei figure out what’s hampering the flowers."
"Terror in the Thicket"	4	"Unable to locate the source of Verdeus’s problem, the convoy realizes that consulting the elemental of wood is their only choice. But when they go to ask Julei for help, he’s nowhere to be found. The Merchant Sisters, however, have information on Eoren’s whereabouts. Suddenly a bellowing cry rings out from Mylos Woods. Val and the alms head toward the sound, fearing a monstrous confrontation."
"Blooming Hope"	4	"The convoy saves Julei from Grapplavine. Once the coast is clear, Dryad explains that the monster was the reason the borough lacked enough mana power to bloom. Now that nothing is draining the plants’ nutrients, however, Dryad can name the new alm."
"Confronting Eoren"	4	"Finally, the convoy reaches the entrance to the Sanctuary of Mana. As they approach, they are stopped in their tracks by Eoren. He tells the group that he will change the world of Qi’Diel back to the Fa’Diel of the past, making the alms’ sacrifice obsolete and freeing Lyza from her obligations. For that, he needs the power of the stuck sword. With the energy of Hinna’s stolen corestone, he releases the Mana Sword from its stone imprisonment."
"Daelophos and the Sword"	4	"The Mana Sword is not the only thing that Eoren unseals; Daelophos, a legendary hero of old is also released from the boulder. After consuming Hinna’s corestone, Daelophos easily rebuffs Eoren’s attempt to take the sword himself. Val, too, finds himself overpowered. But with help from Trent, the overseer of the sanctuary, the convoy makes their escape to plan their next move."
"An Insurmountable Hurdle"	5	"At the Deade Cliffs, the convoy attempts to use Niccolo’s Jaque Seed to climb the sheer face, but it barely sprouts when it’s planted. With the loss of the Alm of Earth four years earlier, the whole area lacks the mana power necessary to grow the seed. Molebe suggests that the alms go to Gudju to ask the elemental Gnome for assistance. The convoy sets off for the Free City of Tsaata to find a way across the sea."
"Retreat and Recover"	5	"The group escapes to the Deade Cliffs and Julei explains the history of Daelophos’s imprisonment. Once a lauded hero, the man turned on the Mana Goddess many years ago. Daelophos’s power was splintered and sealed away together with terrifying monsters known as Benevodons. The man now seeks his lost power, which will free those legendary monsters. Knowing that the nearby Earth Village is his first stop, the convoy heads for Gudju to stop him."
"Battle on the Dyluck"	5	"Daelophos unseals the Benevodon of Earth, Garethe, before taking flight. The convoy manages to defeat Garethe and locate the elemental vessel of light, Lumina Lantern, on the deck of the Dyluck, Daelophos’s ancient ship. Val is unsure of how to proceed, but Palamena offers a suggestion"
"Carrying On"	5	"Upon arriving in Gudju, the convoy discovers that Eoren is fighting Daelophos near Lyza’s statue. They try to stop him, but Eoren is cut down by the Mana Sword. With his dying breath, he implores Val to keep their vision, a future without sacrifices, alive in his stead. Unintentionally, Val’s ability activates and turns the fallen Eoren and Lyza into corestones."
"Gathering Reinforcements"	5	"In Log’grattzo, they meet the inquisitive Aesh. He believes they can weaken Daelophos with a forbidden method, the plans for which lie in the middle of the dangerous Passagean Tomespire. Aesh agrees to show them the way but is distracted by another issue"
"Aesh's Guidance"	5	"Replacement support found, Val keeps the building from collapsing. In return, Aesh gives him the old support, the Shade Sight, an elemental vessel. At the tomespire, Aesh insists on accompanying the convoy inside, despite the dangers. They finally relent after he argues that they wouldn’t leave a “friend” behind. They defeat the monstrous Zehnoa, and Aesh finds the instructions he needs to weaken Daelophos."
"Shade's Conclusion"	5	"With Aesh’s help, the convoy handily defeats Zable Fahr. The Faerie then appears to name Aesh the new Alm of Darkness. Shade elaborates on his choice"
"The Corepedo"	5	"They bring the ingredients to the eccentric Von Boyage. He quickly creates a “Corepedo” to weaken Daelophos on contact. Aesh assumes that they will find Daelophos in the Passagean Tomespire with the Benevodon of Darkness. However, he surprises them shortly afterward in the archives. The group uses the Corepedo, but Daelophos escapes, cursing the Mana Goddess as he goes. They realize he has already released the seal on the Benevodon."
"The Show Must Go On"	5	"Val and the alms make it to the Island of Lorimar, but the play has been canceled indefinitely, and with it, their chances to summon the Faerie and name the Alm of Light. The performers in “Daelophos and Cerulia” can no longer remember their parts due to the influence of the Benevodon of Light. Using the Lumina Lantern, Val manages to fix some of their memories. At the troupe leader’s behest, they go in search of the ailing actors."
"Cerulia's Soliloquy"	5	"Val finds Aesh has arrived in Terratio with bad news. An enormous amount of mana power is now concentrated at the Temple of Wendel, meaning the Benevodon of Light has indeed been released from her seal. The troupe leader wanders toward Wendel as though in a trance, calling out to Daelophos as she goes. Aesh offers to look after the actors while the rest of the convoy goes to stop the Benevodon."
"A Burst of Clarity"	5	"Using the Lumina Lantern, Val is able to piece together the tale of Daelophos and Cerulia’s past. The lovers fled the war to live together in peace until the Mana Goddess named Daelophos her champion. He embarked on a journey to subdue the Benevodons with the Mana Sword, eagerly awaiting the day he could return to Cerulia’s side. The convoy returns to the theater to find that the troupe leader has gone missing."
"The Seeker of Truth"	5	"In the Temple of Wendel, Daelophos releases both the Benevodon of Light and his own power. Now brimming with malice and restored might, Daelophos escapes while the convoy fights Selaphia. Once she is subdued, she tells Val that Daelophos and he share the same pain from their past. After Selaphia disappears, "Lumina" iconLumina makes his entrance. He’s quite taken with Val’s strength of will and names him his Alm of Light."
"Magnum Opus"	5	"Without the muddling effects of the Benevodon, the actors remember the end of the play."
"Trent, Overseer of the Sanctuary"	6	"The alms return to the sanctuary to find Trent back at his post. Though the soul guard is usually sent on their way, now that Val is an alm, he can continue the journey with the rest of the convoy. Val tells Trent that the alms want to find a way to stop Daelophos before they sacrifice their souls. To do that, they need to talk to the Goddess of Mana. Trent seems surprised, but not unhappy at their request and lets them into the sanctuary."
"Vadise, Keeper of the Future"	6	"The alms fight their way through the monsters inside the sanctuary only to reach a dead-end. There, they meet Vadise, the keeper of the future, and the White Dragon Princess. She fights the convoy, testing their conviction before they reach the Mana Tree. Impressed that the convoy is strong enough to “break free of their fate,” Vadise allows them to proceed."
"The Guardian of the Sanctuary"	6	"At long last, the alms reach the Mana Tree. There they meet a mysterious being named Khoda. As guardian of the Sanctuary, Khoda was the predecessor of the soul guard tradition, as well as an ancestor of Val’s. The convoy tells the guardian that before they complete their duty, they need to ask the Goddess how to defeat Daelophos. But when Khoda shows them to her side, they realize that the Mana Goddess has fallen into a deep slumber."
"A History of Mistakes"	6	"When the world was known as Fa’Diel, mortals started a war that used up mana power and angered the Benevodons. The Goddess gave Daelophos the Mana Sword so he could subdue the eight Benevodons. Sadly, Cerulia died while Daelophos was gone. In despair, he turned on the Goddess. Khoda sealed him away but lost his life in the process. The Goddess had used up her power and could no longer maintain her consciousness."
"The Faith of a Guardian"	6	"The prophecies of disaster, thought to be caused by Benevodons, are actually Daelophos’s vengeful curse. The elementals could suppress the curse, but with the Goddess asleep, they quickly ran out of power. To supply the world with mana, Khoda would turn alms who came to the Mana Tree into corestones, an ability that Val inherited. Khoda senses the corestone of the Alm of Earth on Val’s person, but the sanctuary suddenly comes under attack."
"Duty Calls"	7	"Five of the Benevodons attack the sanctuary but are blocked by the barrier that surrounds it. To aid the convoy in their mission to defeat the Benevodons, Khoda unleashes Ramcoh’s true form"
"Tempestuous Youth"	7	"The Benevodon of Wind blasts furious gales through Longren and Shiriu is missing. To top it off, there’s a giant boulder blocking the way into the Wind Sanctum. "Ramcoh" iconRamcoh refuses to fly over it as Flammie because of the painful memories of the last time she was there. Careena realizes they’ll need another way to get past the boulder and goes to ask for help from the rest of the vale."
"Respect Goes Both Ways"	7	"Careena pleads her case but is met with resistance. Neither the chief nor her parents believe in her and the other oracles resent her self-absorbed attitude. Careena regrets her behavior but knows to receive respect, she must first give it. The convoy tries to move the rock on their own to no avail. Miraculously the villagers come to their aid. Together with Sylphid they are able to shift the rock and open the path to the sanctum."
"Careena's Dreams"	7	"Besseroth is defeated and Shiriu is reunited with the convoy. Careena finally has a chance to talk with Shiriu after their unfortunate parting. At the time, Shiriu panicked when he thought Careena wasn’t going to be chosen as the alm, knowing that traveling the world was her dream. With her return to the vale, he can finally see her off on like he always wanted to. Happy to clear the air between them, Careena makes ready to continue on her journey."
"Ominous Appeal"	7	"The soul of Revolutionary King Gahul arises from the slain Tor Marne. The king reassures Morley that his pinnacle achievement, the Lunar Sandglass, could not be broken by a child. He requests that the convoy destroy its core, the Thaumatorb, if they ever find it. Gahul’s soul disappears along with the phantoms in the castle. Morley sees his mother among them. She tells him to live life to the fullest and he says his goodbyes at long last."
"Parish the Thought"	7	"The Moonlit Parish is being rebuilt when the convoy arrives. Morley talks to his swordmaster, Meelpa, about the situation, but notices that he’s acting strange. Recently, anyone who enters Etaern exhibits drastic changes to their personality. Even the alms aren’t immune, except for Val and Morley. Luna informs them that the Benevodon of the Moon is to blame, so the party sets off for Castle Cresceno to confront the beast."
"A Figment of Time"	7	"Castle Cresceno is overrun with monsters and hasn’t had human visitors in years. However, the convoy finds roving phantoms, echoes of the residents of Etaern before its fall sixteen years ago. Morley looks for his mother in the crowd but realizes that defeating the Benevodon comes first. Val and Morley bravely lead their addled friends through the castle and toward their foe."
"Morley's Departure"	7	"Everyone in the parish returns to their former selves after the Benevodon is defeated. Meelpa apologizes to Morley for causing him trouble, but the alm assures him that Meelpa was the least of his worries. Instead, Morley insists on helping to rebuild his home. The returnees are happy to hear it and wish Morley well on the rest of his journey. With a renewed sense of purpose, Morley and the others resume their mission."
"Nothing to Report"	7	"At first, it appears that Iain has everything under control, and nothing is amiss in Illystana. The young king is excited to see his sister but collapses from stress shortly after the convoy arrives. Suddenly, a cry rings out from the capital—the water in the city is gone! "Palamena" iconPalamena sees to her brother while Val and the rest of the alms go to the fountain square to figure out what has happened."
"All Washed Up"	7	"The aqua orb, source of Illystana’s water, has been stolen by Gandoom. Val and the others ask Niccolo to calm the citizens while they go tell Palamena what they know. Iain, still in a stress-induced fever, calls out for “Mena” and asks her to stay with him. Heart aching for her younger brother, the former queen decides to deal with the Benevodon issue for Iain. The convoy heads for the Undertemple, in the depths of the Luka Ruins."
"Palamena's Promise"	7	"Undine welcomes the alms and voices her displeasure at Gandoom’s behavior. Once the Benevodon is defeated, Palamena tells Undine that she intends to continue to help both her brother and Illystana in the future. After they return to the capital and things calm down, Iain says farewell to his sister yet again. However, she insists that she will continue to honor her promise to make him the best ruler he can be."
"Blight in the Darkness"	7	"Trent, as it happens, is suffering from a blight caused by Daelophos’s curse. Fearing their friend might succumb to an endless sleep like the Mana Goddess, Palamena suggests that they visit Aesh and ask if he can help. Julei agrees and the group heads to Log’grattzo."
"The Flower of Log'grattzo"	7	"Aesh listens to Julei’s problem and offers a rare flower cultivated in Log’grattzo to cure Trent’s illness. He developed the subspecies after hearing of the convoy’s fight against Grapplavine. The party reflects on how much the journey since then has changed their sproutling friend before heading back to Trent. Revitalized by the nectar, Trent suggests the convoy look skyward to the Floating Isle of Ulul to find the elusive Benevodon of Wood."
"A Sproutling Feast"	7	"The alms go to Verdeus Borough in search of the Benevodon of Wood. But all they find are feathers and no sproutlings. Julei confirms with Dryad, but his worst fears prove true—the sproutlings were eaten. Though they should have survived being eaten, Dryad didn’t see where Floaret was headed. So, the convoy heads for the sanctuary entrance to ask Trent for a clue to the Benevodon’s location."
"Julei's Growth"	7	"Ulul is what remains of the Mystic Realm before it was conjoined to the Mortal. With some help from Flammie, the convoy makes it to the floating isle and defeats Floaret before it can take root. Julei has a talk with Dryad about what he’s learned on his pilgrimage. He feels that the sproutlings have been too removed from world and wants to start branching out. With a final performance of his new and improved song, Julei and the alms set out once more."
"A Bitter Homecoming"	7	"The alms return to Tianeea to destroy the Benevodon of Fire. Val first tells his mentor and the mayor about Hinna’s passing. The mayor points them to Dorpher Volcano but tells Val to stop by his home on the way. Val’s mother welcomes the convoy and his father gives sage advice after Val tells him of the trials he’s faced on his journey. He tells Val to trust his heart to lead him down the right path."
"Fiery Passion"	7	"Once the convoy reaches Dorpher, they meet Salamando, the elemental of fire. Val swears to fix everything, and though Salamando welcomes the sentiment, he wants to see action to back it up. Noting that Hinna was never one to lack passion, the elemental tries to pump Val up for the upcoming fight. After dodging magma pools and lava flows, the convoy finally faces off against Vaulchibel."
"A Letter from Hinna"	7	"After Vaulchibel’s defeat, Val honors his promise to talk to Hinna’s parents before he leaves the village. Fully expecting to be hated for his part in Hinna’s death, Val is astonished to find her parents not only understanding but comforting to a fault. They tell Val of a letter that Hinna left for him before the start of the pilgrimage. He hurries to their secret meeting place and reads the heartfelt letter before rejoining the rest of the alms."
"Tracking Daelophos"	7	"Val and the others head back to Log’grattzo after defeating all the Benevodons. Aesh awaits them with an ominous report of mana power converging on Entwine Bridgepass. It can only mean one thing—Daelophos. Aesh, dizzy with fatigue but eager to assist, joins the party once more as they make for the bridgepass to challenge Daelophos for the Mana Sword."
"A Sword Sundered"	7	"Daelophos, consumed by grief and drunk on revenge, attacks the convoy. When Val gets the upper hand and asks for the sword, Daelophos forsakes the Goddess’s old blessing and breaks the Mana Sword. Though his arm is useless, his body is overtaken by immense power. At the last second, the elementals jump into the fray to protect the alms. Daelophos escapes into the sanctuary and the alms follow in pursuit."
"The Distorted Sanctuary"	8	"Warped by Daelophos’s presence, the sanctuary no longer follows the laws of space and time. Khoda warns the convoy to stay focused on the Mana Goddess and protect her in his stead. Determined to stop Daelophos, the alms make their way through the distorted sanctuary."
"The Tree at Journey's End"	8	"The further they go, the more visions of the past they encounter. One scene shows Lyza on her soul guard journey. Others show Daelophos on his mission to stop the Benevodons. Val sees the struggle of his tragic history. Another vision is of Trent before the advent of the alms. They defeat the overseer before coming across memories from Khoda’s past. They watch as he is forced to provide mana power from alm sacrifices to a Goddess in need."
"Battle for the Mana Goddess"	9	"Val and the other alms finally reach the Mana Tree. Before them is Daelophos, poised to attack the Goddess. He has lost complete control of himself and is only motivated by revenge. The alms declare their intent to stop Daelophos and protect their loved ones, beginning the final battle to save the world."
"Mana Sword Reforged"	9	"Daelophos, now a shell of anguish and vengeance, attacks, overpowering the convoy. Fearing the worst, Val braces for the end until his fallen friends, Eoren and Lyza, come to his aid. The Mana Tree begins to resonate with the wishes of the world, wrapping the alms in a protective glow. Val summons the will of the people and repairs the broken Mana Sword. Supported by Eoren, Lyza, his allies, and his beloved Hinna, Val delivers the final blow."
"Wandering Souls"	9	"The repaired Mana Sword is able to dispel Daelophos’s curse and return the Mana Sanctuary to its former glory. At long last, the Goddess awakens from her slumber. Daelophos surrenders, but the Mana Goddess assures him that all life eventually returns to the Mana Tree, including his and Cerulia’s. The soul of Cerulia then appears before Daelophos. Reunited once more, they disappear together, finally at peace."
"A Vision of the Future"	9	"Daelophos and Cerulia’s souls now at rest, the Mana Goddess addresses Val and the rest of the alms. Now that Val wields the Mana Sword, he has the power to change the very nature of the world. Khoda warns him that he must bear the burden of his decision, but the other alms have complete faith in Val’s vision for the future. Mind made up, Val raises the sword up to the sky."
"A King's Command"	10	"The convoy stops by Illystana unexpectedly, much to Iain and Niccolo’s chagrin. The royal crown is missing and there are reports of fearsome monsters throughout the land. Vadise contacts the party, informing them that the Shadow of Chaos, Aeve Zalaha, is behind the attacks. She asks for the help of the alms to stave off the threat, and Iain commands them to slay the monsters as his first royal decree."
"Another Agenda"	10	"Val and the rest of the alms manage to subdue the four super-powered monsters. They return to Illystana to tell Iain the good news but uncover an even deeper plot. Passar’s lackeys have been caught and confess that their wayward master is the true mastermind behind all the recent incidents. The convoy heads to Reignus Shrine to try and stop Passar before he can revive Aeve Zalaha."
"A Tyrant's Voracity"	10	"Passar is shocked to see the convoy at Reignus Shrine instead of on its way to the Mana Tree. He explains that Aeve Zalaha will give him the power to turn Illystana into a military state and take over the world. To Morley’s horror, Passar says he was the one who stole the Thaumatorb from the Lunar Sandglass. Realizing the perpetrator behind the tragedy of Etaern was Passar all along, the alms give chase to the Floating Isle of Ulul."
"The Shadow of Chaos"	10	"In Ulul, Passar is cornered by the alms. Morley asks about Etaern and the magistrate doesn’t deny his involvement. In fact, he blames the parishioners for their own demise. Passar reveals that he took the royal crown, insisting that he should be the one to rule. Blinded by greed, he summons Aeve Zalaha, only for the monster to turn on him. The convoy has to stop Aeve Zalaha before its vision of an empty world becomes reality."
"A Brighter World"	10	"Aeve Zalaha is defeated and the world is safe from the void. Palamena retrieves the stolen crown and Morley is finally able to honor his promise to King Gahul and destroys the Thaumatorb. The convoy returns to the capital triumphant, just in time to see "Iain" iconIain’s coronation. Vadise confirms with Val that the threat of Aeve Zalaha is over and urges the convoy to fight Daelophos once and for all."

Entry	Type	Description
"Aesh"	Personage	"Aesh is the head curator of the lauded Log’grattzo Dark Archives. Though young, he has an unparalleled thirst for knowledge. He cannot be deterred from a subject once it catches his interest, barely stopping to breathe once he starts talking. Though he isn’t entirely averse to social interactions with others, he has little patience for people uninvolved in his research. The first time that Palamena visited the archives, she made an innocent inquiry and ended up having to sit through a seven-hour lecture given by Aesh himself. There were no breaks."
"Aery Passage"	Location	"Aery Passage spans the area between Tianeea and Longren. It has a much higher elevation than Charred Passage. The plant life in the vicinity has adapted rather peculiarly to the constant gusts of wind rushing from Mt. Gala. The trees grow crooked and tend to be flexible, bending with the breeze."
"Alms"	Personage	"Alms are chosen to fulfill a sacred duty: offer their souls to the Mana Tree. Every four years, the Faerie will appear in each settlement to name an alm. Together with that year’s soul guard, the convoy of eight alms travels to the Sanctuary of Mana. There is no higher honor than to be named an alm. Should an alm refuse to embark on this pilgrimage or otherwise fail to fulfill their duty, a prophecy of disaster from their homeland will come true and their village destroyed."
"Ahrvet's Pasture"	Location	"Ahrvet’s Pasture lies to the west of Illystana. Its vast fields of fertile farmland are irrigated by Illystana’s aqueducts, allowing for the cultivation of all kinds of crops. It is known as the world’s bounty, as exports from the area are sent across to all corners of the globe. Ahrvet’s Pasture was also the historic site of the endless, bloody war. To ensure that none need battle for use of the land ever again, Illystana facilitates trade agreements with all settlements to secure food for their lands."
"Careena"	Personage	"Careena is a young oracle known for her talents throughout her homeland of Longren, the Vale of Wind. Everyone had high hopes for her until an accident during her rigorous training took one of her precious wings. Hurt and betrayed by the disappointment of the villagers, Careena started acting out, no longer caring what the people of the vale thought of her. Only Shiriu and Ramcoh stayed by her side after the vale dismissed her as an alm candidate. Despite being a member of the isolated dragonfolk tribe, her family is said to have ties to other settlements, even as far as the water capital."
"Castle Cresceno"	Location	"Castle Cresceno was a symbol of the prosperity of Etaern during the time of Fa’Diel. The ruler of the castle, revolutionary King Gahul, invented the Lunar Sandglass, giving the beastfolk of the parish control over the moon’s phases, and therefore time. Their hubris angered the Benevodons, leading to Gahul’s downfall at their hands. Daelophos managed to seal away the Benevodon of the Moon, but its hold over time never faded from the castle entirely."
"Cerulia"	Personage	"Cerulia was Daelophos’s one true love. He protected her at the cost of his sword arm and ever since then, they were devoted to one another. After the fighting was over, the two lived together in peace. But when Daelophos was once again called upon, Cerulia went to the Entwine Bridgepass to see him off. Tales of their parting words of love endured for years."
"Castle Cresceno"	Location	"Castle Cresceno was a symbol of the prosperity of Etaern during the time of Fa’Diel. The ruler of the castle, revolutionary King Gahul, invented the Lunar Sandglass, giving the beastfolk of the parish control over the moon’s phases, and therefore time. Their hubris angered the Benevodons, leading to Gahul’s downfall at their hands. Daelophos managed to seal away the Benevodon of the Moon, but its hold over time never faded from the castle entirely."
"Charred Passage"	Location	"The path between Tianeea, the Fire Village, and Dorpher Volcano is known as Charred Passage. Known for its warm climate, the area yields plenty of crops and verdure year-round. Due to the frequency of the volcanic rains, the road isn’t well-kept, and monsters abound. Travelers should beware of Goblin nests."
"Christine"	Personage	"Christine is the youngest of the Merchant Sisters. She loves excitement and intrigue. As a kitten, Christine was fascinated by all the curiosities that Niccolo would bring back from his travels. As a collector herself, she’s in charge of the item sales. She’s been keeping a record of the wonderous things she and her sisters see on their journey in the hopes that she can publish a book about their adventures."
"Daelophos"	Personage	"Long ago, a hero champion was chosen by the Goddess and gifted the Mana Sword to subdue the Benevodons. He did his part to save the world and yet, his name was lost to the annals of history. The hero and his sword were sealed away in a giant rock near the entrance to the Sanctuary of Mana. Once free, this fallen hero consumed power from Hinna’s corestone and set his sights on the convoy of alms."
"Deade Cliffs"	Location	"The barren Deade Cliffs connect the Manadore Continent to Illusia Isle. The cliffs are so tall that the water from the land above evaporates before it can reach the ground below. Due to the cliff’s proximity to the Sanctuary of Mana and the Mana Tree within, Illystana thought it prudent to create a specialized guard to watch over the area. These trained soldiers became known as the Beast Watch. The name is said to have been given to the cliffs after a wayward traveler scaled the previously thought insurmountable cliffs with his bare hands."
"Dorpher Volcano"	Location	"Dorpher Volcano pierces the skies in the southern part of the Trynia Continent. Its molten innards are home to Salamando, the elemental of fire. Though there hasn’t been a large eruption for quite some time, the volcano is still considered active. It often spews volcanic ash and smoke on the surrounding areas. While Tianeea may have air quality issues, the proximity to such a constant heat source does have some perks, like natural hot springs."
"Dura Gorge"	Location	"Dura Gorge is a harsh stretch of land between Ahrvet’s Pasture and the Deade Cliffs. Contrasting sharply with the fields nearby, plants and animals suited for the harsh climate in Dura are few and far between. There are, however, boney remains of great dragon-like beasts that are believed to have once lived in the area."
"Dryad"	Personage	"Dryad, the elemental of wood, looks like a young sapling. She feels protective over the Mana Sanctuary, given how close it is to her home. Dryad has always been very good friends with the sproutlings in Verdeus. Though she sometimes second-guesses her decisions, she is by nature very determined. However, the sproutlings’ laidback attitude may have rubbed off on her slightly. She also likes to while away the time chatting with whichever sproutlings are awake. She even gives Julei tips on his wood working, always looking forward to his next piece."
"Entwine Bridgepass"	Location	"The long bridge that connects Ahrvet’s Pasture to the Khaswia Moors is known as the Entwine Bridgepass. The bridgepass was constructed by Gaian architects in the days of Fa’Diel, before the Benevodons’ rampage. It was made so sturdily that no repairs have been necessary since its creation. There are many theories as to the origin of its name, but the true meaning behind it is unknown."
"Eoren"	Personage	"Eoren, a member of the Gaian tribe, has been traveling the world researching different types of earth. By chance, he stumbles upon Val and Hinna just as they began their pilgrimage to the Mana Tree. Though he always seems in good spirits, no one quite knows what his motives are."
"Etaern, the Moonlit Parish"	Location	"The beastfolk tribe originally settled in Etaern, a parish blessed by the powers of the moon. With Castle Cresceno as its benefactor, the parish flourished as a waystation for travelers to Tianeea and Longren back in the days of old. While some parishioners found work outside the boundaries of Etaern as guards and hired hands, others stayed in town to see to explorers in need of a place to rest. Etaern was on the up and up until sixteen years ago when the Lunar Sandglass at its center broke and the parishioners disappeared."
"Ex-Soul Guard Fiugo"	Personage	"Fiugo was Val and Lyza’s mentor. He intended to retire after Lyza took up the soul guard mantle, but he was reinstated after Lyza moved to Gudju. Despite his appearance, Fiugo is spry as ever. People say his wizened visage is simply due to his long stint as a soul guard. Put a sword in his hand and he could best a fighter half his age. Fiugo still goes on patrols around the village to ensure that monsters don’t wander into town."
"Faerie"	Personage	"A small, but wise emissary of the Goddess of Mana. Faerie descends once every four years in order to name the alm of each elemental, starting them on their pilgrimage to the Mana Tree."
"Fallow Steppe"	Location	"The vast plain beyond the Rime Falls is known as Fallow Steppe. The fields are lush with grasses, making it perfect for raising livestock. In addition to shrubs, Fallow Steppe also has copses of a wide variety of trees. It’s easy to get lost, so make use of pikuls when possible. Morley’s teacher, Meelpa, has a ranch in the steppe where he raises pikuls. Though they are tame, their size still startles many a traveling tradesperson."
"Floating Isle of Ulul"	Location	"Before the creation of Qi’Diel, the Benevodons lived in the Mystic Realm. Ulul is the small piece of that world that survived the conjoining of realms. The only people who have caught sight of the floating isle weren’t able to get a clear view. Sailors who claimed they saw the landmass passed their stories around the ports they visited, but no one has been able to say for sure what is up there."
"Francine"	Personage	"Francine is the middlest of the Merchant Sisters. She is quick-witted and has a sharp business sense. Fashion-savvy Francine would always catalog the clothing trends of the merchants she met traveling to the capital. She was a natural fit for peddling gear. Though she likes to travel, she is the biggest scaredy-cat of the three siblings. She hates bugs, spooks, and high places, to name a few things."
"Free Ciy of Tsaata"	Location	"Tsaata is a large city on the western shore of the Manadore Continent and boasts a diverse group of free citizens as residents. The people of Tsaata have but one rule: everything is everyone’s. No citizens need pay for anything in their day-to-day lives. When someone wishes to take something from the city, they must leave something else as a trade. The shops around town are aimed at travelers and aren’t used by residents. Some of the items for sale might already have some wear and tear."
"Gamurda Mines"	Location	"The Gamurda Mines to the west are the crown jewel of the Jutu’ona Continent. The ore and jewels mined from its depths were world-famous for their quality. It’s even where Dudbears first emerged from underground to trade with the people of the world. Unfortunately, not all things to come from the Gamurda Mines were quite as friendly; it’s also home to many a large monster. The Gaian people decided to set traps within its passages to confuse the monsters and allow them to keep digging."
"Gnome"	Personage	"Gnome, the elemental of earth, is the most humanoid of the elemental spirits. But even his formidable beard couldn’t save him from getting swallowed up by Jewel Eater. With his mana depleted, he was stuck there until the alms rescued him. Gnome was able to bring a bit of vitality back to the earth, but not enough to completely restore Gudju back to the glory it enjoyed prior to its devastation. After the fall of the village, Gnome warned away any visitors to the Jutu’ona Continent. He tried to get Watts to leave for safer shores, too, but the man was too stubborn to budge."
"Gudju, the Earth Village"	Location	"At the center of the Jutu’ona Continent lies the village of Gudju. Its rich mines, powerful sand wheel, and earthen blessings made it the pride of the Gaian tribe. In addition to miners, many people worked processing the ore into ceremonial goods and crafts. When the Alm of Earth failed to complete her pilgrimage four years ago, Gudju was visited by a terrible curse. Most of its people were turned into golems and the earth itself became uninhabitable."
"Hinna"	Personage	"Hinna is Val’s childhood friend and the new Alm of Fire. She’s a bubbly young girl who loves her homeland of Tianeea very much. Ever since she saw Val get hurt during his soul guard training, Hinna’s been learning healing arts. She also ravenously picks up any book she can find. Her particular favorites are fairy tales, contemporary literature, and historical texts."
"Iain"	Personage	"Iain is Palamena’s younger brother and next in line for the throne of Illystana. Unlike his calm and collected sister, Iain is yet a young and untested ruler. Their mother died in childbirth and their father soon after that, leaving Palamena to take care of her brother alone. She raised him to be both kind and prudent, barely ever gone from his side. Iain tries to be as studious as possible, but there are times when he cannot sit still for stuffy lessons and runs off to play like the young boy he is."
"Illystana, Capital of the Deep"	Location	"The Capital of the Deep is the largest, most prosperous city in the world. Centrally located on the Manadore Continent, the kingdom was founded by the Tailed tribe. Illystana is blessed by both the elemental Undine and the water of the Luka Lake to the north. Though the land had seen great disparity between the ruling class and commoners of the town in the past, recent societal changes have done away with that hierarchical system and greatly improved the lives of everyday Illystanians."
"Julei"	Personage	"Julei is a young sproutling from Verdeus Borough, a small settlement near the Sanctuary of Mana. As custodian of the borough, he dutifully waters his sleeping plant friends while they’re dormant. Quick to accept things as fate, Julei almost gave up on sending an Alm of Wood to the Mana Tree for the pilgrimage until Val and the other alms convinced him to take destiny into his own hands. While keeping his solitary watch over the sproutlings, Julei composed over one thousand songs to while away the time. He also took up woodcarving."
"Khoda"	Personage	"Guardian of the Sanctuary. With help from the elementals, he managed to keep Daelophos from enacting his revenge against the Goddess, though he lost his life in the process. No one knows of his presence, but Khoda is a hero in his own right. As he exists as nothing more than a spirit, Khoda is unable to do much for the sleeping Goddess besides supply her with corestone offerings from the alms."
"Khwasia Moors"	Location	"The expanse on the opposite side of the Entwine Bridgepass from Ahrvet’s Pasture is known as the Khaswia Moors. The moors are on the western side of the Manadore Continent. It is said that an ancient kingdom once governed the moors but fell after the end of Ahrvet’s War. Barely any signs remain of the people who may have made their lives there."
"Ledgas Bay"	Location	"Ledgas Bay is on the eastern shore of the Manadore Continent. It serves as an entry point for Illystana. Though technically a port, Ledgas boasts many shops, homes, and taverns, just like many other towns. It’s known for the water-powered elevator that transports goods and people to the upper level of the ridge. First-timers are often enamored with the elevator, excited to see the uniquely Illystanian beauty of the capital."
"Lefeya Drifts"	Location	"The Lefeya Drifts are on the opposite side of Mt. Gala from Longren. There was once a huge river running through Lefeya, but it’s currently completely iced over. Though the area has always had a cooler climate, it has become a frozen wasteland ever since it lost the blessings of the moon elemental. The flora and fauna were unable to endure the sudden change in climate and can still be seen frozen in their tracks."
"Log'grattzo Dark Archives"	Location	"The dark archives sprang up largely unintentionally after many scholars’ sojourns to Brattzo Islet. Amassed little by little, this eclectic collection of buildings houses the world’s largest store of written record, historical documents, and research. Shade, the elemental of darkness, has been known to walk among the people in the halls of Log’grattzo as well. The island is usually shrouded in fog, but the scribes tend not to notice the gloom. The haphazard construction of the buildings is of little concern to them, as long as they can finish their research."
"Longren, the Vale of Wind"	Location	"Longren is located in the middle of the Trynia Continent, butted up against the foot of Mt. Gala. It is the ancestral home of the dragonfolk tribe. Strong winds are commonplace in the vale, so much so that the culture has developed many traditions that utilize the element. Longren keeps watch over the Wind Sanctum, home to sacred beasts. It is a town with a rich and storied culture. Though the vale is relatively isolated, it does have a strong trade partnership with its neighbor, Tianeea."
"Luka Ruins"	Location	"To the north of both the capital and Pritta Ridge are the Luka Ruins. The source of Illystana’s water lies within, along with Undine’s home of choice. The water-powered machinery can be dangerous for those who don’t know what they’re doing. Though technically under the watchful eye of the ruler of Illystana, Passar used the Luka Ruins as a secret lair to plan his dirty deeds."
"Luka Ruins Undertemple"	Location	"Deep within the Luka Ruins lies the Undertemple, an ancient structure of worship. The entirety of the Luka Ruins was used as a temple, but after the five realms joined, the majority of it sunk beneath the water. The only creatures that visit these depths now are water monsters. Still, Undine prefers the purity of the submerged undertemple to anything above ground. She says it reminds her of the days of Fa’Diel."
"Lumina"	Personage	"Lumina, the elemental of light, resembles a wispy, glowing ball. He lives in Wendel, watching over the people in the area and greeting visitors searching for truth at the temple. Despite the austere solemnity of the Temple of Wendel, Lumina himself is an upbeat spirit who loves to be the life of the party. He teases Shade a lot, who, for his part, doesn’t seem to mind. Sometimes Lumina even manages to clear up the things that Shade had been ruminating endlessly on."
"Luna"	Personage	"Luna, the elemental of the moon, has been missing from Etaern since the fall of the parish sixteen years ago. Thanks to Morley’s strong attachment to his mother, she regained enough strength to reappear. Luna’s small body appears to be nestled within a flower. Her voice is equally soft and dreamy. She prides herself on being a good listener and would often be found giving advice to worried parishioners back when Etaern thrived."
"Lyza"	Personage	"Lyza was originally a soul guard from Tianeea. Drawn to her kindheartedness, Val and Hinna considered Lyza like a big sister when they were children. After completing her duties as the soul guard eight years ago, she resettled in the village of Gudju. No one in Tianeea has heard from her since."
"Madeline"	Personage	"Madeline is the eldest of the Merchant Sisters. She’s an easy-going soul, but don’t let that fool you. As the oldest, Madeline always made it a point to watch over her sisters. For a time, she took up sword fighting to do just that, but ended up appreciating the make of the swords themselves as opposed to the wielding of them. So, she decided to specialize in weapon retail. Food is her passion and one day Madeline hopes to have her own store that sells both swords and sweets."
"Mariyah"	Personage	"Morley’s mother and widow of a blade for hire, Mariyah had to raise her son on her own. She sacrificed herself to protect Morley from the grains of sand from the Lunar Sandglass when it was destroyed sixteen years ago."
"Morley"	Personage	"A feline swordsman from Etaern, the Moonlit Parish, Morley lived together with his mother after the untimely passing of his father. But all of that changed after the tragedy that befell the parish sixteen years ago. After his mother’s disappearance, young Morley was fortuitously picked up by a traveling merchant and brought to Illystana. Since then, he has been plagued by guilt for his hand in the destruction of Etaern, ever striving to live an honorable life. Even now, he visits the parish when he can to pay his respects to his mother."
"Mt. Gala"	Location	"The continent of Trynia is a mountainous region. Mt. Gala is one of its highest peaks and home to the elemental of wind, Sylphid. It is considered sacred territory to the people of Longren. Beyond Mt. Gala lies Fallow Steppe. In the past the ridge was well-traveled, but ever since the fall of Etaern sixteen years past, the mountain route is rarely used. Its bitterly cold climate also makes it a less appealing peak to climb."
"Mylos Woods"	Location	"The Mylos Woods stretch across Illusia Isle, encompassing everything but Verdeus Borough and the sanctuary itself. The concentration of mana emanating from the Mana Tree has made the woods especially thick and full of strange and wonderous plants. Dryad, the elemental of wood, makes her home in that overgrown jungle. It’s very easy to get lost in the dense, dark foliage. Soul guards are warned to keep a close eye on their alm charges as they traverse the woods, so as not to lose any of them."
"Niccolo"	Personage	"Niccolo is the most famous of merchants in Illystana and the adoptive father of many an orphan child, including Morley. His emporium of wares has a prime location in the markets of the capital. His cosmopolitan breadth of knowledge has allowed him to advise the Illystanian government many a time, much to the disdain of Passar and the others of the noble class. Niccolo was originally born in Etaern, just like Morley. Many have wondered as to whether the man is more rabbit or cat, but technically Niccolo is a member of the felapine beastfolk tribe."
"Paem"	Personage	"Paem is the name given to the chivalrous thief who’s been spotted around Illystana recently. That resplendent tail and finely trimmed moustache are always there to lend a hand to those in need. Paem is the perfect gentleman, though their true identity is shrouded in mystery. Palamena was inspired by a character in one of her favorite childhood novels to take on the chivalrous thief persona. The name “Paem” was first circulated by the citizens of Illystana, but Palamena liked it so much it stuck."
"Palamena"	Personage	"Queen Palamena is the monarch of Illystana, the homeland of the Tailed tribe. She came to power after the untimely death of her father. Palamena is a beloved and considerate ruler who continued her father’s work to rectify the disparity of wealth in the capital. However, her economic policies earned her enemies from those who previously benefited from the unfair laws of the past, like the corrupt magistrate, Passar. After her appointment as the Alm of Water, Palamena left the governance of Illystana to her younger brother Iain."
"Passagean Tomespire"	Location	"The tomespire was built by the Grand Archivist Passagean in order to keep a record of all his worldly knowledge after death. He was a sorcerer of great renown, and bespelled the tomespire to be bigger on the inside. The Benevodon of Darkness had an effect on the monster population in Log’grattzo. Passagean, in his wisdom, decided to use the monsters to protect his books and let them have free rein in the tomespire."
"Passar"	Personage	"Passar is a well-known magistrate in the Capital of the Deep. He hails from a distinguished Tailed family who strongly supported the Illystanian oligarchy back in the day. He is a vain, pretentious man with no love for the former or current monarch after the switch away from a hierarchical societal structure. Also a lauded businessman, Niccolo has been a pain in Passar’s side for many a year."
"Pikuls"	Personage	"These furry creatures are large enough to ride and fast enough to cross vast distances in no time. Pikuls were found predominantly in the Etaern region, but since the fall of the parish, the habitat became too harsh to sustain them. Meelpa came to their rescue and began to raise the wild pikuls of Etaern on his ranch in Fallow Steppe. Meelpa’s pikuls are trained to respond to the Beckon Bell. They’ll come running at a moment’s notice when they hear its ring."
"Pritta Ridge"	Location	"Pritta Ridge is the long, elevated path that leads from Ledgas Bay to Illystana. Though it is scrupulously maintained by the capital so as to allow merchants to come and go as they please, Chobins are native to the area and ready to cut down stragglers from the path. People coming on business often hire bodyguards. Ever since the convoy of alms started using Pritta Ridge to journey to Illystana, the once overgrown path became the thoroughfare it is today."
"Radiant Playhouse Terratio"	Location	"Toward the center of the Island of Lorimar is the famed playhouse. The town sprung up to cater to travelers en route to the Temple of Wendel, but now the Radiant Playhouse is as big a pull as anything else. To show their appreciation for their patron elemental, Lumina, the thespians of Terratio built an impressive playhouse. Since then, the people have shown a real interest in the arts, breathing life into the cold, northern settlement. Works depicting the Goddess, the Mana Sword, and her champion hero have long been popular subjects with the town, leading to their long-standing tradition of appointing the alm through a performance."
"Ramcoh"	Personage	"Ramcoh is a sacred beast cub from the Wind Sanctum, hallowed ground near Longren. She’s become good friends with Careena and likes to follow her around the vale. As a flying sacred beast, Ramcoh is an honored addition to the vale, even if she’s still small. Legend has it that creatures like Ramcoh are usually big enough for mortals to ride, so most of the villagers assume she’s probably still a cub. Her parents have yet to be spotted in the Wind Sanctum, however. Careena gave Ramcoh her name, saying it just seemed to fit."
"Reignus Shrine"	Location	"To the southeast of the Manadore Continent lie the ruins of an ancient shrine. There are records of the shrine being used as a venue for rituals and ceremonies, but the details have been lost to time. Because of its distance from Illystana proper, the small cape that houses Reignus Shrine rarely sees any visitors these days."
"Rhata Harbor"	Location	"This lively seaport facilitates the flow of trade and travelers between the Trynia and Manadore continents. Since the route through Etaern was rendered unusable, those traveling to Tianeea had to take a boat around the continent. Fishermen are a common sight at the docks, as are merchants of all tribes. Large trading vessels routinely travel to Rhata throughout the year, accounting for no small part of the town’s prosperity."

Tricky Buju	117	Nemesis	"A Rabite with an unquenchable thirst for adventure, it habitually sets off on sudden expeditions, much to its owner’s chagrin.

It was apparently the inspiration for the protagonist of the children’s book “Buju’s Brilliant Adventures.”"
Hoarding Blosslay	118	Nemesis	"A type of Lullabud that only blooms on ancient battlefields. None are certain whether it extracts nutrients from the blood-soaked soil as its nourishment, or the souls of fallen warriors. However, once it sprouts from the ground, even the most well-trained adventurers will struggle to subdue it."
Floret Triffid	119	Nemesis	"There once was a doctor who suffered from a disease with no known cure. Undeterred, he devoted many years to researching one, collecting medicinal herbs from all over the land. In a final attempt at concocting a cure, he mixed the samples together, but accidentally included one potent toxic herb. By the time he realized what had happened, it was too late. What was intended to be the perfect remedy ended up becoming the ultimate poison."
Grave Picus	120	Nemesis	"There is a saying across the land that goes: “Picus in the sky, abundant harvests nigh.” However, anyone who claims to have caught sight of this bird perishes soon afterwards, often in mysterious circumstances. Little do the people know that Grave Picus is not the avian god of the harvest, but a harbinger of demise, bringing ruin to those who behold it."

Custodial Truffle	123	Nemesis	"A fungus that was cultivated using peculiar substrates. It became sentient and tasked itself with preserving the ecosystem it resides in. Rumors say it gives off an aroma to whet any appetite, but none who have tasted its forbidden flesh have lived to tell the tale."
Bolt Urus	124	Nemesis	"A derivative of the Bulette that has undergone biological restructuring due to a disordered flow of elemental energy. This caused several devolutionary changes, but also heightened its innate hunting instincts, allowing it to track a target for days without rest."
Charging Propul	125	Nemesis	"A Bulette that was granted its moniker after finishing first in a renowned Bulette racing competition, proving itself to be the fastest of its species.

People who have witnessed Propul dash at these breakneck speeds have claimed that the space around it distorts, leaving scintillations to fizzle in its wake."
Plundering Tytonrik	126	Nemesis	"A deviant variant of a Blood Owl. Be it fallen trinkets in the forest or fully grown humans, it seizes anything that catches its fancy. What it does with the purloined items (or creatures) it hauls back to its nest is a mystery that none have lived to tell of."
Armed Griv	127	Nemesis	"There are rumors of an item possessed by a certain Sahagin that are circulating in the merchant community of late, causing demand for it to skyrocket. However, it would seem the Sahagin has heard the stories and will kindly hand over the item free of charge—all one need do is ask it nicely! After one wealthy merchant did exactly this, others have searched high and low for the elusive Sahagin, desperate to get their hands on the object."
Jointed Tikkle	128	Nemesis	"Teased by its fellow "Sahagin" iconSahagins for being a wimpy thugling, Jointed Tikkle then trained in solitude, wanting to surpass the strength of those who shamed it. However, hatred eventually engulfed its heart and Tikkle became consumed by the desire for revenge. If someone had shown it kindness long ago, could this descent into evil have been prevented?"
Puppet Meriska	129	Nemesis	"A cursory glance may have you believe this winged monster is nothing more than a common Beelancer. However, keen observers will notice it is actually a superpowered replica of one. How it moves, who manipulates it, and why it came to be are enigmas yet to be elucidated. The only hint as to its origin is some text on its body that reads “Von…”, but the rest has been scratched off."
Nocturnal Droon	130	Nemesis	"A variant of the Beelancer that primarily consumes the nectar of a flower known as the crescentcaller.

Its favorite places for this include a forest shrouded in perpetual night, and a rowdy tavern called Mischievous Spirit."
Gem Valley Ochoro	131	Nemesis	"A Molebear that thinks all that glitters is gold. It takes whatever stone, gem, or shiny scrap of metal that catches its eye back to its abode.

Phantom Bedditear	132	Nemesis	"A cute creature with the ugly habit of invading other monsters’ territory and hijacking their turf, it can burrow through the earth as if it were swimming through water. Its subterranean travels have severely damaged the ground in some regions, making them too dangerous to set foot in."
Manipulated Bruiser	133	Nemesis	"A suit of armor possessed by the spirit of a swordsman who lost in the final round of a sword-fighting tournament.

Pawn Caruma	134	Nemesis	"A suit of armor that is under the control of the cursed sword it wields. The weapon has gained sentience over the years, but that hasn’t stopped some from accusing it of being a pale imitation of the legendary Mana Sword."
Greedy Tummsect	135	Nemesis	"An insect monster possessing extraordinary intelligence. Active both day and night, it scours the land in search of its next prey. Unlike most predators that kill out of necessity, "Greedy Tummsect" iconGreedy Tummsect simply gets a buzz out of the hunt."

Gluttonous Tirpel	137	Nemesis	"A worm-like specimen that fought fiercely to ascend to the top of the food chain. Its philosophy is simple: eat, devour, consume. Any edible morsels will suffice, but nothing will sate its hunger. According to one source, Gluttonous Tirpel can single-handedly (in a figurative sense) munch through a large city’s entire food reserves in one night."
Astral Thrace	138	Nemesis	"A harpy that once lived in the flowering fields of a remote mountain region. So synonymous was she with the place that she was named after it. She narrowly avoided captivity when an army patrol once chanced upon her, and she now meanders in search of a new home, never sojourning in one place for too long. Years of being on the run have made her agile and elusive."
Beguiling Celaeno	139	Nemesis	"A monster with a beautiful voice she uses to lure her prey to their demise. Her deadly dulcet tones are said to resound to the ends of the world, and she herself has stated that the day she stops singing will be the day she dies."
Inexplicable Gunk	140	Nemesis	"This elusive creature can transform into liquid when attacked, absorbing the brunt of any blow. Seconds later, it turns rock solid before pummeling its opponents to oblivion. Many an adventurer has racked their brain over how to defeat it, but none have ever reached a conclusive answer. Ultimately, they give up, bemoaning the bizarre nature of this monstrosity."
Fortune Guesser Popple Pupil	141	Nemesis	"The disciple of a great prophet who resides in a faraway kingdom of magic. He was the most lackluster of all his master’s apprentices, and decided to travel the world in hopes of improving his craft. On his voyage, Popple Pupil made the acquaintance of a powerful individual who helped him awaken to his talent for clairvoyancy. He is now on his way to deliver the news to his master and hopefully regain her trust, for it was she who named him."

A prodigal thaumaturge with no equal, he obsessively channels all his energy and intellect into investigating a certain great witch who lived centuries ago."
Char Tamulus	143	Nemesis	"An arachnid imbued with abundant fire-elemental energy. Its venom behaves curiously: victims report a white-hot scalding sensation all over the body that persists for about a month. An antidote exists, but very few individuals know how to concoct it, and those that do charge a pretty lucre for even a single dose."
Scorched Pavlov	144	Nemesis	"Former Clay Gorgs that have wandered the world over, absorbing the qualities of the various soils upon which they traipsed. Consequently, they behave quite differently compared to normal Clay Gorgs. They are frequently sighted in rocky or soily areas, likely because it reminds them of their former home, the Earth Village."
Extant Miasopia	145	Nemesis	"A formless being created from the amalgamation of the subconscious thoughts of humanfolk. What is it that humanity seeks? Where are they headed? Carefully observe this wispy, borderline immaterial monster, and you may, or may not, find the answers to those questions."
