After departing the Zunthr and Hundri camps for the second shard, the Radiants head into the forest nearby, which Abek has determined is the direction of the next shard.
After a day or so of travel, the Radiants camp for the night, and wake up in an unfamiliar area. It is much warmer, and after scaling a tree, Thog discovers that The Rim can no longer be seen, implying that this might be an area outside of the Basin
Abek notes that the direction of the shard is changing rapidly, it does not seem to be settled in one place and he cannot pinpoint an exact direction they should travel. The trees appear to be growing taller towards the North, so the Radiants head in this direction
The forest grows more difficult to navigate, and after several days of travel, the Radiants are set upon new varieties of Shade, Forest Shades and Shade Hounds
After several brief skirmishes with the new shades, the Radiants encounter large, animated mushrooms who appear to have been animated by the Forest Shade. Dispatching the forest shade for good appears to have ended the animation of the mushroom creatures
The Radiants find and capture the second shard, after which the sun appears to slowly dim and die, and the forest is plunged into darkness, with the Mire taking over
The Radiants are quickly enveloped in the Mire and separated in a winding, mazelike set of trails. After some time, they finally manage to reconvene and escape the forest with Abek managing to tap into the two shards
After arriving in the forest, the Radiants begin to make their way back to the encampments of the Zunthr and Hundri
