The Heroes arrive at the Northern Polarate of Anadia, hoping to find a safe landing. Alas, as they fly over the rolling hills of the halfling countryside, they're attacked by swan-ships crewed by pirates from the Southern Polarate looking for a easy prey. Although the Heroes' ship is destroyed in the process, they manage to board the enemy vessel and take it over.
They reach the country of Powderpuff, where local officials take the swan-ship in custody, and direct the Heroes to a nearby town. There the Heroes begin their investigation for any clue that may bring them on Satine's path. After a few days of searching taverns and other gathering places, they chance upon a drunken halfling called Valumo.
The halfling and his explorer's party had hired Satine as a healer a few months back, to accompany them on an expedition in the deserts of Anadia to retrieve a treasure hoard from an ancient ruin. When they were about to reach their destination, a neogi ship attacked them and killed or enslaved everyone but Valumo, who escaped. The halfling gives the Heroes a magical clockwork key that can guide them to the ruins.
The Heroes travel through the harsh desert of Anadia, facing both the cruel weather and the voracious predators of the shifting sands, until they reach their destination, the ruin of an ancient library. The guardian of the ruin is an elemental creature called a Dao, and its pet basilisk. The Heroes kill the guardians, and get ready to enter the ruins.
