[5136] The Transcendentalists (Chapter 3, now with more critiques! )

Hello there! The mods (hi u/ldonthaveaname <3) asked that I critique another 2000+ word piece before posting. It took me a while, but here I am!

This is a long chapter. I thought about splitting it up, but the only place that would make sense to split it is towards the end. Because of this I decided to just keep it whole. Hopefully it'll answer a few of the things people were wondering about from the first two chapters...

If you'd like to read the first two, they can be found here:
Prologue and Chapter 1
Chapter 2

Without further ado, welcome back to the world of The Transcendentalists, where dwarves live in trees, elves live in mines, and orcs like Socrates Skullcrusher write epic poems. The woman at the arcana shop lied, and Galina is going to get to the bottom of it.
