Issac and the Outsiders want answers after the seeming conversion of Outer Spacetime into an extension of Deads’ Town. Only deads can exist in Deads’ Town which has Maria worried for the friends she left in Outer Spacetime after she became the Transverse.
Master’s Log 2100 (The Master of Multiversal Arcana 1st Tel): “What did we witness?” Maria looked at me with real confusion on her face. She had spent a significant amount of time in Outer Spacetime when we first arrived to the Prime 5 universe, and her time there had been transformative. She’d acquired the power to navigate existence in the blink of an eye and she was helped on that journey to acquire the name Wazad the Transverse.

The Mother-Father speaks in the wake of the Talj Rip. The threat of doom looms large and even the Mother-Father will play a role in the battle to come.
Divine Power (acɛ 1st Tel): “We must speak to them,” the Father-Mother says. “We must speak to Lêgba. He has not presented himself since his return to the Fonlands and his return has only upended the peace and the order that the Fonlands was founded on. He brought news of Une…”

Pultine and Alia, with the help of Maxx, did the seemingly impossible when they stopped the advancement of the Pito in Talj. And even though Talj didn’t survive, the two have bonded over their shared experience and they are ready to do it again.
Wielders of the Green (The Divine Essence 2nd Tel): “Pultine gets to know Alia while they wait to be transported to the existence known as Paradise. They are in the Smiting Chamber and Pultine smiles as Alia interacts with her friends, Ivan and Clay. Their familiarity reminds Pultine of her time with her sisters, even if their dynamics are very different.”

There are beings who survived the Talj rip and Legba has tasked Kafou with settling them in the Fonlands. Kafou isn’t known for his hospitality, but as the current occupant of the Obsidian Castle, he has a duty to the Vodun of the Disc.
Smiting Champs: “The Obsidian Castle grew from the large opaque platform that it occupies early in the formation of Lêgba’s Disc and it became the seat of the second most power being of Lêgba’s Disc, second to Lêgba of course, who was the defacto ruler of the Disc when the Opaque Castle was empty while Lêgba was off on his adventures.”

The Decay Witch created the Dark Witch Sorcerer because she loved him. Witness the birth of the fearsome ruler of Umuthi Omynama who met his end at the hands of the aboatia, Ahdis.
Multiversal Family Tree: “The Decay Witch had been in the Mire long enough that the Fonlanders in the area had come to trust her and she had felt welcomed by them, and there was a part of her that regretted hosting the assembly of witches in the Mire. She’d been forging a new family in the Mire that saw her as more than just her power, but when Detritus told her that the Dark Witch Sorcerer was not dead, she ignored her new family and embraced the powerful one that might return the love of her life.”

The Star Flowers take center stage. It’s time to learn about pattern magic!
Star Flower (Cotton-Wood 1st Tel.): “Long ago, when she was holder of the stories of the Fonlands and feeding the Scroll of the Time Chamber, Nyame was on her Cotton-Wood rocking peacefully as it moved through the space of Jo’s Disc. She didn’t notice as the Cotton-Wood passed Ntinyeti and Ntinyari in their revolution around one another, and she was completely oblivious to the star flowers of Ntinyeti who were standing bright from the glass surface of the star and contemplating the ancient pattern of existence. ”
