The Player then finds themselves in control of their own character in the middle of a camp of refugees from the fallen Silverfall. At the request of the Archmage's child (their sex depending on that of the player character, always the opposite thereof) the player must undertake basic quests in the surrounding swamp to protect the camp, find supplies, etc. The Archmage's child has known the player for years, and some sort of romantic involvement is hinted at in some of the dialogues. With the safety of the refugee camp established, the PC is asked to go to the city of Cloudworks, a technologically aligned city in the middle of a desert, in search of the Archmage. After settling the strike occurring, the player is granted access to Upper Cloudworks, where the king requests they investigate a noble who has been acting oddly.
