Siyon Velo; Dockside brat turned petty alchemist; scrapes a living hopping between the planes to harvest ingredients for the city's alchemists. But when Siyon accidentally commits and act of impossible magic; he's catapulted into the limelight - which is a bad place to be when the planes start lurching out of alignment; threatening to send the city into the sea.
