The First #3

In "null," Seahn and Persha listen as Raamia and Orium recount the ancient tale of Altwaal, the sorcerer who forged the Houses Dexter and Sinister and opened the Eidolon Rift—separating realms at the price of his own existence. The story unfolds with quiet gravity, weaving myth and memory into a mystery that lingers beyond the edges of known history.

In a world where life springs from the First, the murder of Kerspan throws House Dexter into turmoil. Pyrem assigns Trenin the task of uncovering the killer, while the household gathers to mourn—yet something feels wrong beneath the ceremony. As Persha struggles to speak of reuniting the houses, her words silenced by a spell from her mother, Gannish begins to question how life can exist without the First’s touch.
