Chapter 59
Adam and Emelia walked through the moonlit Interim Island after the Dimensional Tavern had closed for the night.
She had explained everything she knew about Stage Six to Adam, Gladwyn, and Beck, but he still felt some trepidation, given that she confessed to not knowing everything.
Adam thought about the Communion Quest that he’d received from his Patron, the Tome Keeper.

< Adam. I need you to find Alepheria's notes on Chimaeral Transmutation. She made a promise to me that the notes would be mine once her research concluded, but she perished before we could make the transaction. I want them for my collection and study. Though I know much, I do not know where she hid the notes, but they must be somewhere within her tower. >

The fact that it mentioned the name Alepheria, when Stage Six was called ‘Alepheria’s Crooked Tower’, made it clear that he was to find the notes in the Stage. However, Emelia freely admitted that she did not know enough to help him. For starters, she was unfamiliar with Adam’s Patron and he was not allowed to tell her anything about him. Secondly, the Stage was apparently massive, requiring the Players to cooperate to even find their objective.
Emelia had already told them that their objective was to locate a giant painting at the top of Alepheria’s tower. As for the tower itself, it lay beyond the Elphin Sanctuary, which they would be returning to. Since all of them had saved Belamouranthe from being sacrificed, they would not be forced to immediately fight off the city’s Elphin, who would normally have been cursed by the All-Mother and turned into zombie-like monsters.
