Waverider

Vigo takes Trellis and his group to a stone quarry to meet an alleged powerful stonekeeper. He reconnects with Ronin, a powerful builder, who does not trust Vigo after he forced her off the Guardian Council. Vigo apologizes and asks for her help. Riva introduces herself as the mayor of Lucien (a city that Cielis was once part of) and gives Ronin the power to lead the council. Ronin shows them the quarry training ground she has been building. She has found four young stonekeepers and trained them to build, and she says that it is time for them to be the new Guardian Council. She shows Vigo around the facility and has everyone gather in the tearoom she built to emulate the one they had in Cielis.

Ronin shows them a model she has made to describe the universe. According to her research, stonekeepers can surf alternate realities using the void. The new stonekeepers plan to keep up the research and figure it out for the next generation. Bren, one of the new stonekeepers, explains that besides building, they have been learning shadow wrangling: They can liberate people from the shadow’s curse and bring them back to society.
