 * A mysterious land beyond the mountains, unknowable to anyone who is not awakened, is mentioned by Jimmy

Synopsis
The episode starts with the party reuniting at Dan and Relonr's Deep Plates, where they discuss their plans over meat, cereal, and ice cream. Burtool shares his knowledge of the glyphs that make up the titan brand, explaining that they denote a complete giving of one's soul to Terra'Sol, with a magical binding in the line crossing through them.

He demonstrates how Winnie can use her awakened powers to activate a binding, enchanting an item or person with power or, in the case of the brand, offering the entirety of their willing soul.

After that, they make their way to the ruins, stopping along the way so that Winnie can create some supplies, and then teleport to The Well. Upon arrival, they find the well all but deserted and discover the pirate captain from their very first battle speaking with Valla'Sol. Not knowing his intentions, Winnie traps him with Hold Person, only to realize that he is not an enemy but Jimmy, the WIll of the Red God, here to speak with Valla'Sol.

Jimmy reveals that as the Will of the Red God, he has been working to counter Terra'Sol's actions. Valla'Sol explains that she and her people are cutting themselves off from the rest of the world, to protect her power from abuse by the Red or White Gods, and so that she can preserve and protect that power if they are ever defeated.

After this, Jimmy suggests that the party travel to Faerhaven to fight Terra'Sol, but mentions that they might also want to investigate the land beyond the mountains. It is revealed that none of the characters but Winnie can hear and understand that suggestion-everyone else's minds refuse to comprehend the idea of something beyond the mountains. Jimmy teaches Winnie that All'Terra is only a small piece of the world that once was and that Terra'Sol has limited and contained the races within it, something both the Red and Grey Gods see as wrong.
