Description:
The continent of Valindis recently went through a war that abruptly ended when a massive explosion consumed the eastern part of the continent. The Kingdoms of Taryn, Escanya, and Gravos come to an uneasy truce that predictably doesn't last long. The one at the epicenter of the explosion, Glenn, is haunted by his mistakes and seeks to find the truth behind the incident.

0:00 Recap
0:15 Lady Reina's Tomb
Amalia and Ba'Thraz get separated from the rest of the party, and they're forced to fight phantom versions of themselves while reliving the moments when they received their curse. I have no idea why the tomb cares so much about their curse. It just seems like a shoehorned way to show their backstories.
17:19 Boss: Living Wall (Max Difficulty Settings)
The order of your frontline party members actually matters here, since the boss can attack left or right of them.
20:11 Lady Reina's Tomb
The inquistor Whyatt shows up and demands we hand over the key, which is the flower, as well as the Grand Grimoire. He also wants to take Lenne to Marylea because she's the reincarnation of the Holy Mother.
23:20 Marylea
Kylian steals the Grand Grimoire under Whyatt's nose.
Glenn has a dream about how Van tried to stab Timothy, only to stab Lenne by accident instead. Timothy takes Lenne to a ritual room to send her Echo into the Maelstrom so that she can reincarnate. He also wants to reincarnate alongside her and stabs himself so that the priest has no choice.
Glenn thinks he's Timothy and tries to tell Lenne, but she's in a bad mood due to being overwhelmed by her own Echo memories.
39:54 Tormund
Kylian jumps ship to Taryn, but Frederik has a request before Kylian can become a general.
41:11 Marylea
Sienna reveals she was a former member of the Church, but the party already figured it out a while ago.
Robb questions why Egyl doesn't hold a grudge against the people of Marylea, and Egyl points out that not everyone is in on the monster breeding plan and that it would be unfair to blame them all.
Markas, the leader of the Gandebranth Society, seems to be supportive of Lenne and wants to help her defeat the Vaen and the Harbinger.
Unfortunately, Taryn attacks and easily overwhelms the floating city's defenses.
48:29 Escaping Marylea
For some reason, the priests attack us as we escape.
When we catch up to Lenne, Markas, and the Pope, Ba'Thraz kills the Pope and Markas runs away. It turns out Markas and the Church leadership corrupted the Order of Leonar's original teachings and are now supporting the Harbinger. We don't really know why they want to do so, since the Harbinger is unlikely to spare them.
Partway through, Egyl insists on saving the civilians that are cornered by monsters, and Robb surprisingly agrees with him. Hooray for positive character development!
Eva, Sienna's ex-wife, confronts the party for killing the pope. Apparently, Eva knew of the Church's corruption, but refused to defect because she thought she could reform it from within, but the leadership can't be reformed if they're a literal death cult.
1:00:45 Boss: Raphael and Eva (Max Difficulty Settings)
1:04:58 Escaping Marylea
Kylian is meant to detonate the Grimoire in the middle of Marylea's lines, but he starts having second thoughts and gets shot down.
While we were away, Faran has been making greater steps in the rebellion and turned much of Valandis against Taryn. Even people in Tormund are sick of Frederik!
Kylian is fatally wounded, but Gwayn plans to keep him alive for later.
Glenn tries to talk to Lenne some more about their past lives, but Lenne states that Glenn isn't Timothy. Glenn has a repeat of the previous flashback, only it shows that Van pushed Timothy out of the reincarnation circle and stole the latter's place. This means Glenn is actually Van, and he has a mental breakdown and a coma.
1:15:59 Revolution
Frederik had to retreat to Raminas Tower, but he still has the Grimoire and threatens to use it against the rebels. Even his generals are having second thoughts.
1:17:36 Glenn's Condition
Magnolia shows up to send everyone into Glenn's mind.
