Arc 3
About this arc
Three long-simmering threads finally boil over: a god calling in a favor, a vampire Countess running a city since Arc 2, and an expedition into unmapped territory that learns exactly why it stayed unmapped. Shorter than the first two arcs, and it hits harder for it — every group pays for what they get here.
