I find Dreamfall a withered shell of what it should be. A shard of the Empress of Old lives within a ziggurat inside and I face her to persuade and then demand that she release the Grove to the people we have no further quarrel with. She names me her fifth Hand and releases the captured fae from the ziggurat, returning the Grove. We leave Dreamfall happy and recovering and head further North through the Armed Nation of Drognar where we find Spindle, an elvish master swordsmith, and a human child to an elvish mother. Finally I make friends with Torrick, the leader of the Nation. And then Thalien and Dal tell me that Dal is not dead but simply imprisoned by someone they call 'the Witch Queen'. Lovely!
