While being sent to investigate the next Kaer built by the obsidimen Nethermancer named Fireglass, the adepts crash land on the Earthdawn III somewhere in the Wastes west of Jerris. There, they meet the Grey Folk, various monsters of the Wastes, and slay the largest Krillra ever. They hire an airship to take us, the smallest we've seen, which seems to be in rough condition. The captain is called Valdurian, a troll skyraider. The team boards the ship. They are offered air anchors but only Cerulean can't fly. We learn information about krillworms.
