The fight over the eclipse prophecy draws to a close as Col and Myuri manage to convince the Ruvik Alliance there is more to gain by working together than staying at odds. In the process, however, the plan to restore Prince-Elector Duran's reputation has returned to square one. Thankfully, Amaretto the astronomer offers a new sliver of hope: a tale that comes from the lands that divide north and south. As legend has it, this is where the Moon-Hunting Bear pulled down the moon to halt the ancient imperial army's march northward. If the road this army followed can be found, it would open a path that leads directly to the Holy See, guaranteeing the prince-elector's position while also putting the Church in check...assuming Col and Myuri can figure out how to deal with those who have inherited the legacy of the Moon- Hunting Bear!
