All seems well. Renan has successfully defeated the demon at the ancient ruins and ensured Yana's safety.
But is everything truly good?

Barely back in Westholde, our friends are captured by the Silver Circle for interrogation. Rumors of objects coming to life have reached the Mages’ ears, placing a massive target on Renan's back. Mistaken for an unlicensed magic user—a crime punishable by law—Renan is thrust into a perilous situation.

When the Mages rip his Aetheric Record from him to investigate further, they find no discernible Class and no trace of lingering magic. Renan insists he's a Level 8 Artificer, but the Mages have never heard of such a class or its abilities. Though his name is eventually cleared, Renan quickly realizes his troubles are far from over.

As it turns out, magic is strictly regulated for reasons that go far beyond politics. Flares aren't the only danger in this world; the demon Renan encountered at the airship was just one of many Void-spawns, creatures drawn to magic users. This is why every Mage must be accounted for—their very existence poses a threat to all.

Renan and Yana must tread carefully, especially as the lure of adventure proves too strong to resist. When an opportunity arises to explore another pre-Cataclysm ruin, they can't say no. But reaching it will require them to navigate monster-infested woods. Thankfully, each monster they defeat brings valuable XP and new skills to master.

What secrets will Renan and Yana uncover in their quest to unravel the mysteries of Artifice? What ingenious constructs will Renan learn to craft?
