When Nya uncovers Issan calculations for portals, something must be done. In the hopes that the Dirnothril may have more current information, she and her friends decide to investigate the package left for L'Ni on Par Ti'jek. What they find shocks everyone… L'Ni isn't the only former Issan living on the outside.

However, the revelation is the least of concerns. An Inquisitor is ready for L'Ni's arrival, but unknown to anyone, a more sinister threat lurks on the Cartegos, one that could destroy L'Ni.
