Pandora was convinced by the Cardinal of the Menes Church of Silver to join a training program their priests went through on the small island of Kokivorosdos which supplied all the red quartz geodes to the mainland. It was meant to familiarize Pandora with their ways, but there was much more going on within the island then they realized and they soon find themselves at odds with the local Slavers. 

The Ranch was observed for priests raised in luxury to learn the humility of a labourer's lifestyle. While the priests fought for the chance to show off their abilities, Pandora fought with his very real past when he was faced with a ghost from a time long forgotten.
