   Summary

   The Pale Kings alternative way of getting rid of the Radiance fortunately works, but unfortunately (for him at least) it also brings a new God to the kingdom. As Ghost, the God of the void, tries to work out their life after ages worth of imprisonment, old trauma and new problems rear their ugly heads. Thank the heavens that Quirrel also lives in Hallownest.
