 Instead they find themselves coming to another, more idealised version of Parrin'​s Field, and visiting the tower erected there they discover that the cartographer Anwe is responsible for the kidnapping. ​ Slightly mad and obssessed with the Flux-version of Tanya he found here, he has been using his own powers to try to stabilise the region, however the strain has grown too much, and he has stolen the child Haley, in the hope of creating a permanent guardian for the village he inadvertently created. \\ Instead they find themselves coming to another, more idealised version of Parrin'​s Field, and visiting the tower erected there they discover that the cartographer Anwe is responsible for the kidnapping. ​ Slightly mad and obssessed with the Flux-version of Tanya he found here, he has been using his own powers to try to stabilise the region, however the strain has grown too much, and he has stolen the child Haley, in the hope of creating a permanent guardian for the village he inadvertently created. \\

 Meanwhile Ragnar has been hard at work dream indoctinating Haley and the villagers with his objectivist-esque ideology. ​ When they return they find the locals rather less friendly, but shoulder past and into Anwe's tower, there Anabel attacks Tanya and drives the flux entity away.  They manage to wrest Haley from the enchanted crib above, barely surviving her dream guardians and then head outside only to be confronted by the rest of the village. ​ They strike down the flux villagers and apparently finish off Tanya, before leaving with the babe in their arms.  Anwe is left behind, his mind seemingly broken by seeing his love cut down and his nostalgic dream shattered. Meanwhile Ragnar has been hard at work dream indoctinating Haley and the villagers with his objectivist-esque ideology. ​ When they return they find the locals rather less friendly, but shoulder past and into Anwe's tower, there Anabel attacks Tanya and drives the flux entity away.  They manage to wrest Haley from the enchanted crib above, barely surviving her dream guardians and then head outside only to be confronted by the rest of the village. ​ They strike down the flux villagers and apparently finish off Tanya, before leaving with the babe in their arms.  Anwe is left behind, his mind seemingly broken by seeing his love cut down and his nostalgic dream shattered.
  
-Back at Parrin'​s Field once again the real Tanya notes that Haley'​s mind is still stuck in its dreams by the ritual. ​ She performs her own rite to send in the adventurers to rouse the child and they find themselves within a Parrin'​s Field now dominated by a vast regal citadel. ​ Phantom defenders sally out to drive the party off, but they overcome the first wave and as more arrive ​Hadyn stalls them with his diplomatic skills whilst Ragnar uses his Leader Imbued voice to drive Haley from he dreams to achieve true power in reality.  ​+Back at Parrin'​s Field once again the real Tanya notes that Haley'​s mind is still stuck in its dreams by the ritual. ​ She performs her own rite to send in the adventurers to rouse the child and they find themselves within a Parrin'​s Field now dominated by a vast regal citadel. ​ Phantom defenders sally out to drive the party off, but they overcome the first wave and as more arrive ​Haydn stalls them with his diplomatic skills whilst Ragnar uses his Leader Imbued voice to drive Haley from he dreams to achieve true power in reality.  ​
  
 The child awakes and the party are jumped by a grateful Denny who bundles the meagre reward (18R) into their hands and tries to persuade them to take some of his cows as extra conpensation. ​ They nobly refuse, with Ragnar simply asking that on her 11th Birthday Haley be given a letter encouraging her to seek out the Leader Temple and fulfil her grand destiny. The child awakes and the party are jumped by a grateful Denny who bundles the meagre reward (18R) into their hands and tries to persuade them to take some of his cows as extra conpensation. ​ They nobly refuse, with Ragnar simply asking that on her 11th Birthday Haley be given a letter encouraging her to seek out the Leader Temple and fulfil her grand destiny.
