The party members, consisting of Holly, Elaris, DT, and other friends meet in Soren, Teiboku. Meeting each other in the Tagtail in after recognizing each other in the strange dream they had, they travel to the Enchanter's Guild after a elven cleric named Roslin Blake called for them.
They are sent to the Soren Forest in search of the Mollywauk twins, a brother and a sister who live out their lives together in the woods to train their ranger skills. After tripping their trap and catching their attention, the large group meet up with Roslin and the rest of the Enchanter's Guild's main circle.
As thanks for helping them, the Enchanter's Guild on behalf of Lord Maximus Deyrollo invites the rag-tag group of adventurers to the annual masquerade. The group is given magical masks to help them in finding a spy from the town of Alyi. They enjoy the party while keeping an eye out for the infiltrator.
Soon the spy is found and get into a small encounter. This mysterious spy, a human caster named Kali Wisteria, swiftly gets away. Before she leaves, however, she lands a spell on Roslin that inflicts a magical illness only the Valley-Dwellers know how to heal.
Our party travels to the elven tribe known as the Valley-Dwellers in search of a healer that can help Roslin with this curse. Searching through the expansive Trader's Square, they find a magical dagger, a man from DT's past, Elaris' father, and the head of the Valley-Dwellers - an elven ranger named Lutz.
Talking to Harlem and learning that DT's hometown is not destroyed like he originally thought, the party decides to go to the town to understand what is going on. The strangely enchanted city shows to be affecting its townspeople with a spell that makes them remember the wrong things. Soon the party realizes that Harlem is acting quite suspiciously and start to distrust him.
The party wakes up well-rested from their night at the inn and decide to sneak around and check out Harlem's house. They climb through an open window and descend through the floors, finding hatches with ladders. After finding the real Harlem tied up in his own basement, the party free him and defeat a strange and horrifying copy of this man.
After rescuing Harlem, the party decides to go to the Wizard's District after a bartender tipped them off to the location of a warlock they were sent to find to help Roslin. Arriving on the street they witness a wizard's duel between a young sorcerer and a wizard they had already met. He leads them to the twin spellcasters, one a sorcerer and the other a warlock. They meet the sorcerer, an older woman named Matsuki. She tells the party a story from her adventuring days, explaining that her sister shouldn't be able to cast spells because her hands were missing.
On their way out of the house, DT and Amir hear something fall in the warlock's tower. The party runs to see what was going on and find a woman bleeding out inside. Holly healed her just enough to stabilize her so they could learn what happened. They find out that the woman is Kali Wisteria, the spy from the masquerade. After rescuing Wisteria, the action only grows as they see the Diamond Beacon in the center of town acting out, sending a blinding light cascading throughout the streets.
On the pedestal there stands a tall, gaunt woman with jet black hair, bloodshot eyes, and pearly white skin. She holds a glowing staff that seems to be siphoning power from the beacon before she turns and uses the staff to crack and shatter the diamond in the middle responsible for the beacon's power.
Everything falls black as the party feels themselves falling through a dark void before feeling the pavement beneath them as they come back to consciousness. Only they aren't in Adamentem anymore; They are laying in the Castle Lakeheart courtyard. In their minds they can hear the voice of the black-haired mage, telling them that she must put them through several challenges in order to declare the party her Chosen Ones, in the same vein as the old Gods having their champions.
The party, currently consisting of Elaris, Holly, DT, Antonio, Amir, Harlem, and now Wisteria file into the castle as Antonio's family greets him and the rest of them warmly, telling them the good mood comes from the fact that Duke Arthur, the oldest Deyrollo son, is to be married soon. The royal family give the family friends and allies rooms to stay in to regain strength.
In one of the rooms, some of the party members uncover new mysteries surrounding the assassination of Lady Deyrollo, Antonio's mother, pointing suspiciously to Amir.
