A KINGDOM DIVIDED...The trouble in the Empire has finally subsided, but that doesn’t mean Wein can rest easy. Relations between the East and West are more strained than ever, and both sides are vying for Natra’s allegiance.

An independence movement is brewing in Natra, and Ninym’s been caught in the center of it, stirring up further chaos. Can Wein keep his kingdom together long enough to shepherd it into this new era? Is he even the right person for the job?
