Bludon has suffered a lot, and even if the inhabitants who survived Owuo’s snap work hard to set things back to what they remember, the planet will never be the same. But there is hope, a bright new future that the survivors can build together.
Show of Hands (Âmuk 1st Tel.): “Coxx descends on the city of Two Rivers and he slows his approach. The sunlight reflects from the glass structures of the skyline and it is easy for Coxx to ignore how irrevocably everything has changed. As he flies through the skyscrapers, the city looks the same with its many buildings made of bamboo and glass, and the roadways far below that cut between them in neat lines.”

Zacchaeus is no longer on Bludon. He enjoys the Disc of Agê in the Fonlands as he reminisces about his time away from his home universe.
Stealth Mode (The Deft Hands of Zacchaeus 1st Tel.): “It’s funny, a lot of stuff done happened since I been here, but it’s crazy to say it out loud that I haven’t been home in fifty years. I haven’t forgotten about it, I still remember everybody and what it look like, but I’ve been here and on Bludon for so long that I don’t know, Mississippi is like a memory from a long time ago.“

Maria is closing in on the end of her time in Outer Spacetime, just as Sao-Reyne, the Wazad of Prime 5, is seemingly taken prisoner by one of the Loa of the Arada. The First Wazad tries to sort things out with Tara, but learns that there are bigger things to be concerned about.
Let Her Cook (Wazad of Outer-Spacetime 1st Tel): “On Theron, the first Wazad flies over the land toward the domain of Tara that is mountainous and also covered in colorful vegetation. The beings of Theron move about their business below him and he stops at a cluster of homes in the rocky and vibrant terrain. Tara’s mountain is the center of her domain and it has a flat top, like a plateau, and there are clusters of homes built on the ascent to the top. “

Issac of the Dark universe and Alia, Ivan, and Clay of the Hyperion universe get acquainted in the Smiting Chamber on Sakpata’s Disc. Meeting multiversal versions of people you know can be disorienting, and Issac tries to navigate it carefully with Ivan and Clay.
Noid (Finding Lêgba 1st Tel.): “There is no Devil in the hell that I am referring to,” Issac explains. “Many devils, but not the one you’re thinking of.” Issac turns his attention to Ivan and Clay and smiles at them like a proud father. “It is good to see the two of you again. I know that you all aren’t them exactly, the ones I know, but it’s good to see that you are both happy and in control of your powers.”

Baity is happy to help Brad Jordan try to achieve his goal of leaving Deads’ Town. He is happy to help, even if he doesn’t believe that he will actually do it. Brad Jordan explores a new corner of Deads’ Town and somehow, it is more unsettling than the things he has already seen.
Deads’ Town (The Deft Hands of Zacchaeus Mini-Tel): “He led Brad Jordan along the main road through Deads’ Town, past the musicians who filled the night with tinny music, past the delicious smells of the cooks, past the actors in performance, and to a road that branches off of the main one that Brad Jordan has never noticed before. The mist thickened as they moved along the road and Brad Jordan noticed that the trees and vegetation along both sides grew thicker, more wild and untamed.”
