As of 1 February 2007, the action is in [[Santuariel]], where the divinely-supercharged [[Ian Samael]] has discovered a mission in life to make up for his failure to save his recently-deceased sister [[Evelyn Samael | Evelyn]]: curing his fellow [[Half Elf | half elves]] of the various things that make some of them [[Errant]]s.  ([[Riley]], to the delight and anticipation of a bunch of readers, has declined to get her little bit of anatomical uniqueness fixed.)  The action takes a lot out of him, and he can only do just so many [[Omega-Heal]]s at a time without collapsing from the effort and needing lots of rest.  He's acquired an unexpected guardian/mother figure to help deal with the crowds when this happens: [[Meji Hinadori]], who for once in her life is showing some maturity and concern for others (Ian, that is, not the crowds).  Some of the people that he can't help before he collapses aren't terribly happy to be left un-healed, understandably enough; whether the dark rumblings from the uncured crowd are a portent of things to come isn't yet clear.

SPOILERIFIC! Read the comic first!

As of 9 March 2007, the action is still in Santuariel, where the Anilis-enhanced Ian has been trying to come to terms with his uber-magical powers. He's done all manner of healing of the Errant residents, but it's not just garden-variety fixing of owies; rather, it's a basic reset of the things innately wrong with Errants, which we in the outside world call Omega-Heal. As one might suspect, this has gained him a certain following, to the point where the townsfolk are becoming pests, with Meji doing what she can to keep them under control (by threatening violence, which after all is what Meji knows best).

Unfortunately, Ian's attempt to push the envelope and resurrect his dead sister Evelyn has gone badly. He succeeded in re-animating (and exposing) Evelyn's body, but realized, to his horror, that it was "empty," i.e., uninhabited by his sister's soul. His response has sent body parts flying in all directions, and now the question is whether the chapter ends before he has a complete meltdown. It looks to be a dead heat, so to speak.

We haven't seen any scenes of the rest of the world for quite a while now. The last time we saw Sarine and Jon, they'd survived a close call in combat against the late time ninja Warrel and were going off to find Meji, reluctantly accompanied by Jon's "little sister magic zombie of slicey death," Sara. That was a few days ago in story time, so who knows where they are now. Life in Praenubilus Astu may also be getting interesting as the elves mobilize forces of their own to look for Meji and Ian; we just don't know. And Anita is due to discover that all of the little character flaws that Paul observed in Warrel turned out to be fatal flaws, which she's unlikely to take with much equanimity...
