The party are hired by the council to travel to the lands of the Atlan and trade the valuables they are escorting for the throne of the demiurge. They travel to the Atlan lands on a boat from the southern isles. On the way they encounter kraken, storms and pirates but eventually manage to make landfall in the Atlan lands. They sail inland on a river fighting of flesh eating horses and the flying lizards now living the the ruins of the Levistation.

They meet with some representatives of the Atlan who are happy with the deal to get rid of the dangerous magical artifacts but still seem upset about the missing souls issue. After this they travel to the location of the throne stopping briefly on the way to save some magical books from burning. They then fight of the remaining wards and being to move the throne towards he ship. They are assailed on the way by desperate hobo mages as well as a priest of the Mare of Night who wishes to claim their souls in recompense.

When they get back to Acryn they find that their agreed upon meeting is not there and that instead several strangers are present. These strangers attempt to kill them but are defeated. Some other strangers then approach and attempt to bribe the party with money eventually going as high as a thoasand riel a head to hand over the throne to the, such that Richard Dyne can use it to help remake the world. When they ask for a demonstration of this the mage drops the local region into undefined space.
