After Dhaz left, the portal remained.

The party had to decide whether the unstable exit Yuri left behind was a way home, a mistake, or another trap pretending to be a route. With Dhaz gone and Maine's charges unresolved, staying on the shoreline offered no clean answer. So the remaining party entered together.

It did not take them safely back to VQU or the mainland.

Instead, they drifted through a void route and were pulled somewhere else: a maze-like dungeon built around love, danger, and the presence of Vithyrex. A door opened onto an eye, and the campaign shifted under them.

The Paulus Levius cathedral had tested faith, debt, offerings, and corrupted commerce.

This new place promised a different kind of trial.

Love. Chaos. Valentine logic. Power Nine resonance.

And the party would face it down one member, with Dhaz absent and the shape of the group changed.
