Flesh and Spirit Plenmont At night, the palace in Plenmont was quiet; only the guards disturbed the silence, making their rounds.

When the Raven Calls Middanhal As usual, Konstans sat in his study the following morning shortly after sunrise. Unusually, he was not occupied with anything.

Pawns Western Hæthiod The day after the skirmish saw the Order camp transformed from drowsy winter quartering to frantic battle preparing.

Salt and Swords Plenmont Before dawn, Leander lay awake in bed. He glanced with envy to his side, where Theodora slept peacefully.

Wolf and Lion Middanhal After the battle of Bradon, the Order army did not give pursuit. Middanhal was lightly defended in their absence, and the agreement had been to avoid prolonging this state.

Veiled Chains Fontaine The dungeons in the Raven Court were austere as could be expected, though this was not due to animosity against those awaiting trial; they were simply cells like any other in the temple, except their occupants were not any of the sisters, but prisoners.

The Solace of Spring Silfrisarn The band of riders that entered Silfrisarn had little in common with the men that had fled Middanhal.
