Notes

Maeliss welcomed the Scorned Eight after they passed Winterglen's living maze. Through an emerald campfire, she helped the forest reveal Kaneko's past and explained that good intentions do not erase consequences, but that the forest can forgive someone willing to face failure. She sent Kaneko to recover a missing Kalin, beginning his path toward healing.
