The party acquired a mansion and began customizing it with Rina's help, adding a prison cell, anti-cymogynography (a joke), and a sending stone for communication. They discussed the security of the mansion and its food supply. Meanwhile, Enton was robbed in the market but got his money back. The party then encountered Shalei, the Empress, leading a crowd towards the palace. After a tense confrontation with guards, Shalei entered the palace and confronted Pridizia and Skies. The party rejoined Shalei, leading to a discussion about her claim to rule and the greater threat to Tursalan. They learned about the Vaharai and their history, and the importance of Pridizia as a potential conduit for restoring Tursalan's magic. Shalei agreed to work with Pridizia, and the party returned to their mansion. Yolin borrowed many books, and Felim discovered a coin hidden in her robe, potentially linked to the masked person Dara. Felim resurrected Aphior, who had died fighting Okremenom, with Wynston’s assistance. Finally, Yolin began studying a dangerous book about binding and subjugation magic.
