Zone 70: The Second Signature

September 21, 2026 · New content

The partial credential trace finally has somewhere to go: a joint administrative office, buried in certification files, where escalation approvals for the whole marker line get signed off. A quiet cross-reference of assignment dates against duty logs does what months of suspicion couldn't.

There's a name now: Idris. They don't deny it, and they don't run. What they give instead is a reason - one that doesn't excuse what they did, but makes it a lot harder to just call them a villain and move on.

New in this zone:
- 11 quests (a bridge quest, four main story quests, three side quests, three dailies), including a real signature-matching puzzle and a finale with three branching endings for how to handle what's been confirmed.
- Two new characters: Halvard, who runs the certification office, and Idris, at the center of the reveal.
- A new regular enemy and a new boss, The Unsanctioned Ward.
- Continued progress with the Undivided Reserve faction.

One thread closes here. The bigger one - whether the Undertow is actually reacting to anything - is still wide open, and what Idris was quietly digging into on their own is now in the party's hands, unread.
