As she reunites with a transformed Darla, who has flourished in her absence, the weight of recent confrontations and dark promises made to Karch threaten to overshadow their tender moment. While Darla excitedly shares discoveries about their new home, Maela must reconcile the exhausting reality of her mission with the unexpected comfort of finding her own place in this fortress of secrets. But can this moment of peace last when shadows of conspiracy still linger?Episode 2: The Disturbing Truths of a Vacant MindDarla struggles to understand Prosper, a mysteriously damaged man whose seemingly innocent words may hold devastating power. As she divides her time between her love for Maela and her duty to watch over this enigmatic man, disturbing questions emerge about his true nature. Could his vacant-eyed observations about 'sad stones' and casual encounters be more than the ramblings of a broken mind? When Prosper speaks of the ancient Wizards with unexpected clarity, Darla must confront the possibility that his apparent madness masks something far more dangerous—and perhaps intentional.Episode 3: The Empty BoxLocked in Pietro's study, Raef and Kray wage war against an unbreakable cipher protecting a lifetime of secrets. As the frustrated dwarf tears through ancient texts, Raef's thief instincts lead him to an intriguing discovery - an empty box frame that might hold the key to cracking the code. But in a room full of hidden meanings and cryptic marginalia, could the absence of something be more important than what remains?Episode 4: The Burdens of LeadershipRogers, now hailed as the Hero of the Pit and future Guildmaster, confronts the uncomfortable reality of his new position within the Craft Guild. During a tense meeting with the imprisoned Alard, he wrestles with his identity as a thief forced to lead a bureaucratic organization he barely understands. As the political landscape of Ness teeters between Karch's maneuvering and Polo's revenge, Rogers must decide if he can transform from a master of shadows into the stabilizing force the city desperately needs.Episode 5: More Than an AllyFaced with an impossible choice, Ralan seeks counsel in the dead of night—from the one person who isn't entangled in Ness's web of politics.

As he explores its decaying halls and treacherous staircases, he confronts unsettling parallels between this fallen guild house and his own responsibilities. What mysterious sickness could destroy something so powerful? And why does the thought of making his fortress worthy of Rebecca's return keep surfacing in his mind?
