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.

The Shadow voice reveals himself to be Powehi, the Forlasan Dark Matter and the ancient embodiment of all negativity.

2024-01-06 - Escarpa Clan Camp - Completed
Halcón and Pyrrin lead a group of Wayfarers to the current Escarpa camp. They inform Chieftain Sierra of what they know about Brisa and the Shadow threat. Sierra is willing to hear them out, but also warns that she already has warriors en route to destroy part of the rail line. If the Wayfarers really feel that strongly about the rail's destruction, they'll have to race out and do something about it.
The remaining Wayfarers stick around to discuss the Shadow situation and what Sierra knows about Radiance.
