It puts you back in Fa'Diel without asking whether you finished the game first, and if you did, the first shot of Domina hits like opening a save file from 1999. This is the Jumi arc and only the Jumi arc: a people whose gemstone cores are being pried out and stolen, who physically cannot weep for their own dead, and who need one person's tears to be made whole again. Shiloh is the ordinary kid with a voice in his dreams, but the show belongs to Elazul, whose entire personality is a sword pointed at whoever took Pearl, and to Sandra, gliding through the story collecting cores like a jeweler taking inventory. Twelve episodes is far too few for a game built out of scattered fragments, and you can feel it sprinting, yet the storybook landscapes and that ache of grief without crying still land. Watch it for Elazul saying Pearl's name.

Shiloh is a boy living not far from the town of Domina, and in his dreams a voice keeps telling him about a mission he has to carry out. What that mission is stays a mystery until he meets two Jumi, members of a race hunted for their distinctive gemstones, just as a sudden wave of attacks against the Jumi breaks out. His purpose comes into focus: he must help the Jumi and protect their gemstones. The result is a fantasy adventure series built around that quest.
