Hooks for side content · The Velan Codex

(Idea) Each hook is a side quest or arc that grows out of Act 4. The outcome column says where it applies.

Hook	Outcome	What it is
Iver's trial	Mended	Speak for or against Iver in the Hall of Measure. The verdict moves reputation and decides whether he is un-taught a second time.
Ondine's hands	Mended	Ondine asks the player, privately, to find out whether a Tender can give her hands back. Mother Bramble won't, because nature wouldn't.
The dark where glyphs still take	Mended	Rumours that asymmetric glyphs still surface in the Undermere. Rook goes looking.
Letters from Twinhold	Shattered	Ondine's unsigned letters, one each season: places where her crews have failed to close a warp.
No more seals	Shattered	Un-taught casters across Velan get their spells back at once, some of them dangerous. Find them before the glints do.
The pieces of the Pane	Shattered	Each standing piece of the broken Pane reflects a different sky and shows a different glyph. A collection arc.
The Rim truce	Held	A Halfway-style truce at the Pane's rim: a small market and a meeting place. Keep it alive through incidents from both sides.
The split cut	Held	Iver's cut divides; one half goes into the Undermere. Bring them in, talk them down, or join them.
Reading the records	Held	Carry copies of the Hour Stair records to each faction seat and see how each one takes it.
Brin's word	All	Hollis finishes the lesson the glass interrupted twenty years ago: she teaches Brin the Corran glyph properly, and the player traces alongside. Whether Brin's hands can still take it depends on the outcome.
Lio's hands	All	A teaching arc, different for each outcome: learning mirrored glyphs, learning to say no, learning to hold one.
The last wagon, and the next	All	Dace's caravans keep moving people. A repeating escort job from the north rim.
The Endless Caravan	All	Mended: the Waymakers' oath is fulfilled; do they stop? Shattered: they swear it again. Held: they argue about it.
The Drowned Choir	All	Tobin swears the Sallow's hum changed the night of the Pane. It did, differently for each outcome.
The Hundred-Year Hour	All	Keeper Hale lets slip that the records were not the only thing the Keepers hid. A long post-game mystery at the Hour Stair.
Fenn's chalk	All	Teach Fenn properly. In the Shattered world Fenn's chalk marks work, which makes this more urgent.
Even-handed	All	Jobs that only appear for players liked by both sides: carrying letters between the courts, judging disputes at Halfway.
