Urianger and the rest of the Scions have been taken to the world of the First, their souls having been called one after another by a robed figure named G'raha Tia, who originally worked with the Warrior of Light during their expedition of the Crystal Tower. He had awakened from his long slumber and found his Crystal Tower in the First (one of the reflections of the Source world). The tower serves as the last bastion of hope in the wake of the halted Flood and the sin eaters that plague the remnants of the star, Norvrandt. G'raha's summoning was flawed, as only the Scions' souls were pulled with their bodies still on the Source. Due do their strong connection to the Source their souls have a physical presence, allowing them to interact with the world around them as they would in their corporeal form.

G'raha foresaw a future where the Source would be plagued by two calamities that would have occurred on both the Source and the First had the Warrior of Light emerged victorious in the war. To prevent the calamities, he called the Scions and the Warrior of Light to the First to save two worlds, believing that the Warrior's power would be able to contain the primordial light blanketing the First. He asks Urianger to keep his identity and their discussion as a secret while they would prepare for the Warrior of Light's arrival.

Urianger met up with the other Scions and eventually everyone parted ways to keep an eye on developments across Norvrandt while slaying Sin Eaters. He familiarized himself with the land of Il Mheg and the fae that inhabite it, learning their language. He kept in touch with Thancred and his charge, a reincarnated "Minfilia", whom he rescued from Eulmore. However, Urianger and Y'shtola had a falling out when she became frustrated with his insistence on secrecy, unable to fully trust him. Furthermore, the prophecy G'raha spoke of plagued him, and thus took up astrology to try and explore this supposed future.
