The Torch that Ignites the Stars

After concluding their first year at Lorian Heights, Corin and his friends catch a train from their native Valia to the distant country of Caelford. For most, this would be a simple vacation. Corin has other plans.

-Meet Anabelle Farren, the eccentric owner of Farren Labs, and learn about artificial attunements.

-Seek out Warren Constantine, a previous Arbiter, for training and a potential alliance.

-Find the visage Ferras herself to seek a cure for Sera's condition.

Of course, Corin is Corin, and there's absolutely no chance he's going to be able to stick to a list.

…And even if Corin miraculously developed a sense of focus, he isn't the only one with plans.

The Blackstone Bandit.

Everyone's favorite mysterious book entity.

The aforementioned Farren.

A vacationing professor.

The mirror of a figure from Keras' past.

When their plots intersect, Corin and his friends are, predictably, stuck at the center.

It's going to be a long vacation.
