I awoke in a jail cell with Gorrik, attached to some kind of machine that seemed as advanced as asuran technology—maybe even more so. Gorrik was elated to see me, but he had a bit of an anxiety meltdown—I feel bad I'd been unable to keep him company due to my, well, lack of consciousness. Before he could elucidate where we were, a detective by the name of Rama let us out. He made us fill out some paperwork and returned my equipment before dropping a bombshell: we had landed in Cantha, the human empire that sealed itself off from the world long before I was even born. I could barely wrap my head around it as I followed Rama to a courtyard. Marjory and Kasmeer were waiting for us—what a feeling to see friends at a time like this! Kasmeer—now a Krytan ambassador—explained that Cantha reopened its borders after our ship went down. She assured me that Aurene was okay and I would see her soon. Before I could be officially released, I spoke with the Canthan Minister of Security, Li. He was polite, but there was distrust in his voice. I don't blame the Canthans for their caution. There's a lot to catch up on, and I'm eager to explore Shing Jea—a place that, up until now, might as well have been legend.
