2024-02-12 - Ranger Union HQ - Completed
The Wayfarers make good time to Ranger HQ, a canyon full of pueblos that seem to shift and move on their own (not that it bothers the seasoned Rangers any). Nico introduces them to one of his superiors, Braviary Cascada Escarpa, and a researcher looking to delve into Divine Dungeons, Wyrdeer Sybil.

2024-01-28 - Dusty Highway - Completed
Nico escorts a group of Wayfarers to Ranger HQ. The trip is briefly interrupted by an unseasonable bramblin migration; thankfully it only takes a little teamwork to get the wild pokémon moving on their way, but Nico and Betel worry their appearance is related to a dormant dungeon reopening. Nico also explains that the headquarters he's taking the group to isn't just a normal building, but is itself a dungeon—and a dungeon that has somehow been merged with the spirit of a former Ranger Chief, Espeon Sinopa.

At Lucien's request, a group sets out to track down Seth Lycas, the Wolf, to learn more about his control over shadows and—if necessary—apprehend him.

Leaf once again runs into "Purple" the nidoran while they're both out shopping. This time, he's looking for much harder-to-find items: a moon stone and some rare berries. Grace joins them as they look through the shops, and as the two Wayfarers catch up, they notice that Purple seems to be able to communicate with Grace (and some of the shopkeepers) a little more directly.
