Gulag Julka

Traveling from Tethys to Malignatius, the heroes run into Ciera Li Halan on Criticorum and hear that the Decados are trying to stop them from getting the Mael Cup to the Zuranists. Sister Jenna arranges for them to meet a famous Zuranist smuggler on one of the ice moons of Arsanerit, a gas giant in the Malignatius system, but when they get there they are ambushed by the Decados.

Sister Jenna escapes with Harrod Ford Gallagan, the smuggler, but the villainous Baron Petra Decados captures them. Don Dario claims his status as a Questing Knight but Rinaldo Salazar, bastard son of Ramiro de Salazar, denies that they are who they say they are and so Petra orders them sent to the infamous Atshen gulag on the moon of Julka.
