EP6: Emerald Dawn

The 12th Light of Quaylithon is revealed as Subservience — a denomination whose followers will soon attempt to murder Marcus with Sarah's Kiss.

Emerald Dawn. Juramentum celebrates Awakening Day — the great springtime festival. The Kithgi quarters erupt with caterpillar formations, tumbling, and wedding pavilions. Weisa returns to her pastry stall and the comforting aroma of fresh Arpo pies, journaling about Publia's mentorship and the unsettling implications of Raff's unprecedented visit to the city. Beneath the celebration, Catryn uncovers truths that will reshape the world: Crystal Remembrance, the School of Mysteries, the Tree of Tipo, and ley lines of immense power running beneath Juramentum itself. She reveals that Figulus Gnaeus 'enacted Zed' — a singular act of will that created Catryn herself and saved the Crimson Children, the consequences of which are still unfolding. Marcus faces his first inquest at the Temple of Quaylithon, wherein Beacon Flavius questions the nature of the golden light. The 12th Light of Quaylithon is revealed as Subservience — a denomination whose followers will soon attempt to murder Marcus with Sarah's Kiss. Weisa receives her Dagger of Venom, crafted by Figulus and Catryn, and establishes a three-deity altar in her quarters: water for Tlaloc, flowers for Coatl, blood for Tezcatli. 'Perhaps this altar is the first of many steps I must take in bridging the homelands of my past and present,' she journals.
