Nomad wakes from [[Worldhopping|skipping]] not knowing where he is. He is questioned by people who speak a language he doesn't understand, and he doesn't have enough [[Investiture]] to have [[Auxiliary]] translate what they are saying. He notices that the plants around him are growing extremely quickly, and that is just before dawn. People in white coats are chaining people to stakes in the ground. When one of the white-coated people tries to place manacles on him, Nomad tries to fight back, but his muscles lock up. He remembers he is beset upon by a Torment, a mysterious condition caused by him having held a [[Dawnshard]] that makes him incapable of causing harm, even in self-defense or defense of others.

The rising sun continues getting brighter, making the ground smoke and burn, and Nomad concludes the sunlight is Invested, making it extremely intense. Nomad and Auxiliary briefly consider trying to absorb the Investiture, but conclude the sunlight is far too intense to safely do that.

He then hurls the chain at a hover bike that's flying away and is dragged away as the sunlight begins to burn him.
