Chapter Five: Departing the New[edit | edit source]

Shifting to Solineus in New Fost, he awaits the Luxun ship Entîyu Emoñô with Sîu, eager to sail south amid northern war preparations. Inslok arrives, revealing Edan research from the Ôxêum Codex: Gates like Istinjoln's can be closed via methods in the elusive Maruques inû Elnishestodu tome, possibly in Eleris libraries (1-2 years to locate) or lost Ôxêum. Historical links to the vanished Dontupûor Pantheon and Totokotwonu noted. Pikarn reluctantly agrees to guide Edan (including Inslok, Limereu, Neseldun) and Colok to the Chanting Caverns' Gate for study and potential closure, with Rikis joining. Solineus negotiates passage to Mulshahar and Pôn with Captain Intœño, hiding his enchanted sword and proposing a trade partnership via Silone river routes to Helmveline.
