The moment has come for the witch's champions to prove their mettle, whether it be on a battlefield or by contributing ideas. They've learned a lot in the last few months about the shocking, secret origins of sorcery. Its source, and maybe also why the truth was lost. Once upon a time, their ancestors did something so ambitious that it changed the world, and ancient bills are coming due.

In Barracheh and across the sea, gods and spirits outraged that humans have given themselves such power, or longing to possess it for themselves, come across borders in numbers. All of them will have to take extraordinary steps in order to ensure that their people will survive. They'll have to change themselves, and even make allies of their enemies.

It's time to rise to the occasion. Be the saviors the witch has seen in them. The world will have to pray Ha'ere was right that the Dragon of Seeing introduced her to the heroes and not the villains.
