== Synopsis==
[[Yalb]] serves aboard a Thaylen ship at sea as it discovers the ''[[First Dreams]]'' returning from [[Aimia]] without its crew.
 
[[Rysn]] decides to travel to to [[Urithiru]] with her porter [[Nikli]] to meet with [[Navani]] to discuss the terms of an expedition to [[Aimia]] - she seeks a cure for [[Chiri-Chiri]] who has taken ill, [[Queen Fen]] seeks an answer to the disappearance of the ''[[First Dreams]]'' crew, and [[Navani]] seeks information about the [[Oathgate]] on [[Akinah]]. Agreeable terms are met, including the addition of [[Lopen]], [[Huio]], and [[Rushu]] to the expedition and the [[Wandersail_(1174 ship)|Wandersail]] departs.
 
During the voyage, several "omens" manifest which unnerve the crew and threaten [[Rysn|Rysn's]] position as [[rebsk]]. She manages to take charge and keep the mission afloat. During downtime, [[Huio]] stumbles upon a discovery regarding the behavior of [[fabrial|fabrials]] in the presence of [[aluminum]], which leads [[Rushu]] to create a fabrial assisted mobility device for [[Rysn]].
