The village of Imil greeted us warmly after our long trek across the treacherous mountains of northern Angara. The people here are worse for the wear, as a terrible sickness seems to be spreading through the population. Without their fabled Water of Hermes to keep them healthy, pressure has been placed on the village's last remaining cleric, a vestige of the old order of Mercury adepts by the name of Mia.

A bright flash from a monolithic structure nearby (referred to as a "lighthouse" by the locals) seemed to disturb her, and she took flight in its direction repeatedly murmuring the name "Alex"... We've given chase, not only for fear of the girl's safety, but also because that flash of light can only mean our enemies have reached their target before we could catch them...
