We met with Minna at the Dome of the Indelible Word, where she had made preparations to perform the rite to reverse the effects of the curse. The disappointment of falling short with Vloxx and Kuda was still lingering, but breaking the curse would take some of the sting out of our failures—Isgarren, our most powerful ally on Castora, had increasingly weakened with every step we'd taken into Castora. Not only was he the strongest wizard of the Astral Ward, he was also the one being with firsthand knowledge of the island and the seers; having his full support and wisdom to take on the Inquest could turn the tide of this entire conflict. Minna commenced the rite, leading me from altar to altar in a great circle inside the dome. I performed the proper movements alongside her as she recited her freshly penned curse-breaker. For a few seconds, it was unclear if she was successful. Suddenly, a portal popped into existence and out stepped Isgarren with uncharacteristic amusement. Isgarren was in the best spirits we'd seen him in...well, ever, in my memory. And it seemed that his time being cursed, being unable to contribute to the fight, unable to even think clearly—it had all given him a bit of "overdue perspective," to use Isgarren's own words. Still, when I told Isgarren Vloxx's words, that Vloxx wanted to make "one change" to reforge the foundation of reality, Isgarren was adamant that this was a path that would end in disaster, that Vloxx must be stopped. With Isgarren's ominous words hanging in the air, I was suddenly interrupted by a comms call—Councillor Ludo, from the mainland! With the All Seer defeated and the curse broken, the fog around Castora cleared, and Ludo was finally able to make contact for the first time since we'd sailed from Lion's Arch. I pressed Ludo, wondering exactly how much she knew about the fact that—as Vloxx himself admitted to me weeks ago—Vloxx had permission from the Arcane Council to make his expedition to Castora to begin with. Ludo was baffled. I quickly explained that Vloxx had completed the rite of Divitium Nava and Kuda had taken over as the director of the Inquest. While she wanted more details, Ludo realized that if she was able to talk to me over comms, the guilty parties in the Arcane Council could just as easily talk to Kuda and cover their tracks. Abruptly, Ludo cut off the call to gather evidence before Kuda could send a warning. We'd done all we could for the moment. It was time to take stock of our options, see if we could gather any more information on Vloxx's next steps. Whether Isgarren would turn over a new leaf in the long term remained to be seen. But with the wizard on the mend, at least we had something to show for all of our struggles in Eternity's Garden. The question was, what was Vloxx's next move? With the rite of Divitium Nava complete, he already possessed the strength and vision to rival Isgarren. Yet, despite his newfound knowledge, still he seemed to want something more, something that even the power of the greatest wizards couldn't provide—"one change" that would repair "the code of creation." We needed to take a step back and reassess the entire situation. Would Vloxx leave Castora, or was there someplace here that would play a part in his vision of Tyria's future? It isn't clear to me what he intends. But it's clear that he can't be allowed to succeed.
