This chapter takes Throné to the western continent, to Oresrush specifically, to find some clues as to Mother’s location. Oresrush is where Mother sends her recruits, so it makes sense as a first stopping point.
Town Phase: Oresrush
When Throné arrives at Oresrush, she mentions that she’s looking for the Saddlery. Luckily, it’s very close by -enter the building with the wagon wheel above the window. After the scene, Throné deduces that she needs to acquire a ‘horse’ - which is code for something that signifies that the holder is looking for shady dealings.

With that done,head to the Foundry, which is to the back of this area.Talk to the Lookoutto begin the next sequence.
When you are ready, talk to The Slaver and choose tosit at death’s table. Watch the scene play out, and when you are prompted to choose the Right or the Left cup, choose theRight.
