Actions, however altruistic, present a cost. When immense power is involved, that cost grows ever grander in scale. With IVI offering respite to the lost souls of Beast's Wake he has forgotten one important agreement penned upon the throne of death.

This choice causes ripples throughout the party in ways that will divert the flow of events as the end nears.

Our heroes bravely attempt to connect Tres with his family, if they made it through calamity and Tasi struggles with the fear filling their chest.

Our heroes reenter the campus of Mandrake's but the False Hydra appears to have taken root in the minds & memories of the inhabitants. Will they be able to deal with this monster, Chuti and their combined hold on the school?

Chuti bested, kept where she can no longer harm our intrepid heroes but someone has sat forgotten in those tunnels under the Cradle. Someone has been left to the devises of a mad masked man.

Zuk clings to life but for how much longer?

There is no where left to run, no where to hide. Under the stolen sky our heroes face Chuti Mandrake.

Ma'Lark & Silas follow their lead for one Fairy God Mother to try and recover their fenced items while Issac is hopelessly lost, banished by Chuti.

Tasi attempts to be the adult in the room but feels the sands of time slipping through their hands as they so often have.

A series of Applebee novels are repaired and reveal something about the past... and the future.

Ma'Lark and his friends try and retrieve they're stolen items while the horizon darkens significantly along the Golden Road.

Please don't forget...

Below the Mage College lies a terrible secret, secrets that must be laid bare for all of Mother's Cradle to see.

Help was sought and we sit mired in lost memory, once returned comes the rage.

Who is Burton Ascov Jr? Why is he the key and how much time do they have left to find him. Questions only Issac, armed with his Ring, is able to answer.

Silas, Ma'Lark and Zuk all find themselves locked in a Fairy interrogation room after poking around where they don't belong.

The pressure cooker that is Mother's Cradle continues to ratchet the tension up and sooner or later they'll experience the boom.

Our Party, now fully empowered with the gifts of Rhea move to stifle the Beast from consuming all other gods. Tabax tribes rise up against their oppressors and against the horrors of Conversion. The Followers of Duke and their detractors meet in one final clash of ideals. This is the ending the Prophecy of Duke foretold and it is what comes after.

Memories altered by some unseen force, our heroes craft a plan to convey the looming threat to the powers at be in the Capital City. Will they listen? Are they to blame for this onerous reminiscence?

Others, already succumbed to this malicious will, explore unabated. How far off the beaten path will they wander and what waits for those who stray?

In the fragile peace between then and the soon to be, several of our heroes embark on a dangerous mission to answer a very important question. Soon they'll discover the power that hides below the mountain.

Individual strength solves problems, collective strength can create solutions.

Our heroes now agree that the people of the world must learn of the threat to come. Governments must work together to form a unified front or else they stand no chance against... against the... I can't seem to recall...

In the aftermath of the Promethean's probing attack, our heroes recover and aim to create a place of healing but strange things happen in those tunnels under the school.

Visions asked and given, secrets from the past trade hands, & a plan coalesces for how to fight back.

That horror that came from the stars, the altering of our vary reality and the hollow, empty victories that we take because it's all we have.

Our heroes are faced with a threat on par with all other thus far and they will be broken.

Our heroes, enjoying a fragile peace receive a harsh awakening. The actions of a fledgling Promethean have dire consequences for those left behind.

The only option is to ready the students and support each other even as they each, in turn, lose a part of themselves.

You can't be ready for what's to come.

With Tasi's return to the staff of Mandrakes, much of the latent problems plaguing the greater student population can begin to improve.

A metal face views a thread from their past and hopes to create a better future.

Wings spread wide, friends help in unexpected ways, we will all learn to move forward.

The sky reflects a fundamental change that the future is liable for. The past leaves a lurid scar for some and paves the way for others -- we are simply at the mercy of fate and it's hidden machinations.

Old faces reappear in times of need, a looming threat grows ever closer with solutions evading sight.

How will you be judged when you stand before the scales?

For those that have lost someone, someone they cared about, someone that you would do anything to see again.

Know that up in the sky, some distant star illuminates space; time turns, and they miss you too.

Along the boards of reach, Life and Death are intertwined. As IVI and his students make their leave, they are given a series of gifts that accentuate the possibilities that life has to offer. All the while one of them grapples with the memory of their death.

Our heroes sit at a crossroads;

Gilthrax's defeat has left many battered, bruised and forever changed.

Apollo has returned from the shores of their sanctuary.

Witness the birth of a new generation, those that can move forward without REGRET

Gilthrax has risen, the dome of Mandrakes waiting for his imminent attack. Our heroes will have to defend every inch of campus though they may not be prepared for what awaits them.

New boons and gifts are discovered that will change how some view themselves, old friends will herald the beginning of a new era.

One minute. 60 seconds to bring Ventus back from the other side. Will they be able to achieve the impossible? And once in the Grove will they accept the news to come?

New faces fill the roster of Mandrake's: Sylas the Echo Knight with his shade along with his roommate Isaac the satyr find their place amidst the party and begin to learn about the threats that loom over everyone; though IVI aims to quell any brewing panic by maintaining normalcy within the time dome.

Questions fly, answers present themselves and a familiar face returns to help how ever they can.

Our heroes try to put the pieces back together amid the crumbling ramparts of Greycastle as a new dawn illuminates the sky. They are changed, the weight of their past trauma and the horrors yet to befall them sitting heavy on their mind.

In the Polestar, food supplies run low and there is a simple solution asked of the team, will they find what they seek in Lilypad Lake?

A new hero makes their presence known as Team 2 enters the fray.

IVI is haunted by his memories, only shaken by a call from an old friend.

The Hunters of Greycastle make their move to seize power as our party tries to stand in their way and make things right.

As two mothers lament the lost of their child, Ma'lark looks from the starless sky towards a new dawn.

There is one place, hidden to most, that can help Darcy regain control of her Wildshape: Meadowhome. Though as our heroes enter through the portal and feel the shadow cast by a abeyant Greycastle looming across the moors they know that something is very wrong.

Darcy is in wild shape as Tabatha obfuscates her plans and our party is awash with memories and some new corruption of magic.

Our first normal day at Mandrake's with a class of new students eager to make their mark on history but that doesn't mean that the Headmaster is left out. We see as Ventus battles each of the new standouts as a test of skill and teamwork. But this fantasy can only stave off reality for so long and when it creeps back in, it does so by force.

Our heroes stumble across the answers they have been looking for just in the nick of time, they relive past mornings with a melancholic sensibility and sow the seeds of friendship amontg their fellow students.

Having exited the Dream, our party will have to deal with the looming consequences Reality has on offer. Souls will be saved, deals will be struck but there is only so many moments that span the length of seven years. Will they use those moments wisely?

Posed with a daunting task amidst a entombed chapel of horrors, our party enters the Dream.

Our heroes are still dealing with IVI's death and for some, they won't rest until he's brought back. Too many have lost friends, family, loves for years gone by. All the while IVI walks the valley of Death. Something wicked this way comes and no one is prepared for what havoc it may wreak

There's something deeply wrong in the village beneath a fallen star, dreamers unsure of what's real and our heroes desperate to save who they can. Though sometimes the search for answers can dredge up terrible truths from the unseen dark. Screams will echo but the horror comes from who cries and who listens.

Fueled on his search for answers by the urgent nature of his newly metal student and the mystery of these more and more prevalent curse marks, Ventus will go to new, and unadvised, ends. A new concern grows: how far will he go?

New students join the team and are embroiled in this quickly worsening situation. Though no one could have predicted it being as bad as it is...

Following a skirmish with one of these Prometheans, our party is left weak and ill prepared for the horrors to come. New students discover the halls of Mandrake's but in doing so must internalize the school's long lost motto: "greatness is seldom free."

As students once again begin to fill the halls of Mandrakes, curses manifest in new and demented ways. Lines will be drawn, bonds will be broken, the world will never be the same.

Powers are at play greater in scale that previously thought possible but with assurances that the gods are gone, who or what could be hunting our players? We do not know. All we know is that they have a message to deliver and they are coming.

What price is a best friend worth?

Years have passed and our heroes have aged, grown, changed. Now as a new school year for Mandrakes looms a series of dark rituals have contacted an unknown entity in this world without gods. Will Ventus and his colegues be able to protect his new students from the threat to come?

Deep in the Belly of the Beast our heroes continue their search for Rhea, the first god, when they are confronted by friends and demons alike in our penultimate episode. 

Ready and willing our heroes solidify their plan on how to right the world and restore balance. 

Bloody and beaten our party of heroes find shelter in Apollo's manifested sanctuary hidden among a sea of reeds in a pocket dimension. Doors open to new eras and old faces wherever they may be. 

They have wandered, they have lost their loved ones, they will never go home the same again as the conflict between our heroes and this "Other Tasi" reaches it climax but not before an inescapable death.

It happened, our intrepid stalwart hero, IVI is dead and the remaining members of this found family each view the slaying with a different lens and temperament. All the while IVI attempts to "sway death from the other side."

Our heroes -- depleted and damaged face down this "Other Tasi" wielding the full might of a god. None of them are ready for what is to come, their only hope is each other.

Off the back of our party's discovery of a way home to their timeline they are faced with a murder spree most foul. Can they uncover which of their cohabitants is trying to accrue power before it's too late?  

Apollo awakens to a world inundated with gods and decimated by their return. When they reach this Timeline's Polestar, they will reunite with many a familiar face.

Our heroes struggle with the repercussions of Apollo's wish as the minor gods are released. Tasi re-joins from his time in Beast's Wake just as the party is descended upon by a lurking horde
