The group returned to the Elemental Shapers' camp with mixed feelings. The camp was deep in the jungle, surrounded by magical barriers for disguise. Small teams of Elemental Shapers patrolled continuously. Ethan learned from others that they were now without a permanent home and could not leave any fixed target for the Old Gods' followers.
