A proud and disciplined Arcane Marshal who secretly helps Thjazi Fang prepare for an escape from the gallows.
Azune Nayar is a human Arcane Marshal of the Revolutionary Guard. He stands just over five feet ten inches tall, although his pride and bearing make him appear taller. He is strong, lean and muscular, with medium-brown skin and coppery auburn-brown hair tied back in a braid. A birthmark rises along the right side of his neck, across his face and towards his forehead around one eye. His irises resemble a sunset over the ocean, shifting from deep blue beneath yellow pupils into orange, teal and light grey. He wears the full armour of his station while leaving his arms exposed. The words “Have mercy on those I send you” are tattooed along his right bicep.
Years before Thjazi’s execution, Azune followed Thjazi into battle during the Falconer’s Rebellion. Azune remembers believing in the cause strongly enough to die for it and recalls Thjazi carrying him through a battlefield beneath flying arrows and spells.
Power, spectacle and the fall of Thjazi Fang
Thjazi Fang is hanged beneath monuments to the heroes of an older revolution. The crowd, the failed rescue and the Photarch’s decision leave more questions than the public ceremony answers.
Consequence, authority and the mysteries left behind in Dol-Makjar
Episode 1 begins with Thjazi Fang’s execution, a rescue that has already gone wrong and a wake full of old friends, enemies and secrets. Here are the main pieces of lore it leaves behind.

Azune once followed Thjazi into battle and is now participating in the secret attempt to save him from execution.
Echoing the battlefield memory, Azune carries Thjazi’s body into the Fang home and gently restores a peaceful expression to his face.
Azune uses his official inspection to contact Thjazi secretly, explain the escape plan and signal the location of the supposed ward. Before approaching the gallows, Thjazi apologises for the distance he kept from Azune.
Azune remembers Thjazi carrying him through a battlefield during the Falconer’s Rebellion while spells and arrows flew overhead.

Veterans of the Falconer’s Rebellion
Teor and Azune fought together during the Falconer’s Rebellion and recognise one another immediately despite the years between their meetings.
Azune reveals that Teor’s younger brother Cyd was supposed to participate in Thjazi’s rescue. Neither man has seen him, prompting Azune to leave and investigate.
Teor and Azune greet one another by clasping forearms. Both acknowledge that they have serious questions concerning Thjazi’s death.

What did Thjazi see above the Guardian Wall, and why did it frighten him?
Moments before his execution, Thjazi looks above the Guardian Wall and changes from confidence to visible panic.
Thjazi looks towards the sky. Whatever he sees causes his confident expression to change into panic, but Halandil cannot identify the cause from within the crowd.
Who compromised the rescue, what did Azune detect on Thjazi, and is Cyd’s disappearance part of the same sabotage?
The immediate failure is known: Thimble was attacked before delivering the genuine glyph, while a different magical signature was placed on Thjazi.
The survivors establish that Thimble would plant the glyph, Azune would manipulate the inspection, Cyd would position Casimir’s wagon, and Thaisha and Occtis would complete the extraction. The plan failed before its first physical stage because Thimble was attacked before delivering the glyph.
What prevented Cyd from reaching the rescue, and where is he now?
Cyd was responsible for positioning the rescue wagon but never appeared, and neither Teor nor Azune knows where he is.
The survivors establish that Cyd’s precise role was to move Casimir’s wagon into position so that Thjazi could teleport inside it. Cyd’s disappearance therefore removed a critical stage of the extraction plan.
Where did Thimble go after failing to appear at the execution?
After the rescue failed, Thimble was found critically injured inside a drainage grate beneath her ransacked hideout.
Teor follows the scent of honeysuckle and a fading otherworldly light to a drainage grate, where he finds Thimble unconscious and critically injured.
Who ordered the attack, who wore the fine boots, and how did the attackers learn the hideout and timing?
Seven masked attackers struck at the exact time Thimble was preparing the rescue glyph, removed their dead and stole magical objects.
The attackers removed the Stone of Nightsong and other magical objects from the hideout. It remains unclear whether stealing the relic was their primary objective or opportunistic theft after attacking Thimble.
How did Dol-Makjar change from the city Teor remembers, and what remains of its revolutionary institutions and ideals?
Returning veterans find a revolutionary city transformed by Sundered House power, the Candescent Creed and an expanding Chamber authority.
Aranessa warns that the two Sundered Houses are gaining power while faerie-linked influence diminishes.

During his private conversation with Teor, Azune repeatedly watches the direction in which Halandil withdrew.
Azune tells Teor that he wants to be included in any action Teor intends to take that night.
Azune believes that someone should be made to answer for what happened to Thjazi.
Azune has not seen Cyd and leaves the conversation after learning that Teor has not found him either.
Azune pulls Occtis aside and sends a message directly into his mind, saying that they must determine what went wrong with their plan.
Azune and Occtis agree that Thaisha is currently too intoxicated to help them reconstruct the failed rescue.
Occtis tells Azune that the situation has become more complicated because Wicander Halovar is present at the Farramh.
Azune and Occtis agree that they must locate Thimble. Neither of them saw her during Thjazi’s execution.
Azune says that he performed the planned magical scan and, as far as he knows, Thimble successfully completed her part of the rescue.
Azune tells Occtis that Teor’s brother Cyd was supposed to help with the rescue but has not been seen by Teor since his return.
Azune and Occtis know the secret flophouse where Thimble had been constructing the escape glyph. It lies two neighbourhoods south of the Rookery in the working-class district known as the Tanners.
Occtis proposes travelling to the hideout to see whether Thimble is there. Azune agrees and asks Occtis to meet him outside.
Azune asks Teor whether he wants answers and tells him to meet outside in five minutes, where Azune may be able to lead him to them.
Azune, Occtis, and Teor meet outside the Fang home. Occtis confirms that he knows the house where Thimble was working, and the three depart through Dol-Makjar as rain begins to fall.
Azune, Occtis, and Teor enter the Tanners as rain begins to fall. The district is filled with the smell of curing leather and macerating flesh from its many tanneries.
Azune leads the group to a wall marked with the name Ograhmson Leather Tannery. He knows that the letter S conceals the entrance to Thimble’s hidden apartment.
Before entering the hideout, Azune warns Teor that Thimble may be in danger and that some part of the rescue plan may have gone badly wrong.
Azune touches a small child’s bracelet hanging from a necklace around his neck and whispers that he is not alone. A spectral defensive form briefly emerges from him as he magically fortifies himself.
Teor notices fresh blood beneath the hinge of the secret door. Someone has attempted to clean it away hastily.
The investigators find a large amount of blood descending the hidden staircase. The marks strongly suggest that one or more bodies were dragged out of the hideout.
The concealed apartment has been violently searched. Its door is shattered, papers are soaked in blood, the mattress has been cut open, and a broken mirror and overturned furnishings show that a serious struggle occurred.
Azune and Teor recognise from the signs of the struggle that whoever was fought inside the hideout could not easily have been physically thrown around by those defending it.
The investigators recognise Thjazi’s handiwork throughout the concealed apartment. He had transformed part of the tannery into the secret hiding place, although much of his work has now been damaged.
Teor clears the furniture from a narrow drainage grate and discovers Thimble lying unconscious within a space only someone of her tiny size could enter.
Thimble is a four-inch-tall pixie with short brown hair who appears older than Teor remembers. Her dark-green clothes are tattered, her normally bright spring-green wings are muted, one wing is bent, and she lies unconscious with her needle swords scattered beyond her reach.
A small ceramic rune lies concealed beside Thimble inside the drainage grate. It is small enough to have been slid through the narrow opening with her.
Azune, Occtis, and Teor tell Thimble that the rescue failed and Thjazi has been executed. Thimble realises that night has fallen and breaks down because she never had the chance to say goodbye.
Azune tells Thimble that he communicated with Thjazi before his death and that Thjazi wanted her to know she had done well and that he was proud of her.
Thimble says that people entered the hideout and attacked her before she could deliver the glyph. She is immediately disturbed by the question of how they knew about the plan.
Azune examines the ceramic rune and confirms that it is the completed escape glyph Thimble was preparing. It carries exactly the expected conjuration and illusion magic.
Azune realises that he never directly saw the object hidden inside Thjazi’s jacket. His magical scan detected the expected conjuration and illusion aura, but the genuine glyph is still inside the hideout.
Because the genuine escape glyph remains with Thimble, Azune concludes that a different object carrying the same magical signatures must still be concealed upon Thjazi’s body. The investigators decide that they need to return to the Fang home.
Azune’s assigned role was to manipulate the magical inspection so that the escape glyph would not be reported as magic upon Thjazi.
Marks upon the grate show that Thimble fell beyond the attackers’ reach. Unable to find her, they ransacked the apartment, removed the bodies, and departed.
An imposing figure appears in the entrance to Thimble’s hideout. Occtis does not recognise him, but Thimble, Teor, and Azune immediately know the man as Kattigan Vale.
Kattigan’s imposing entrance is weakened when he stumbles against the doorway, revealing that he has been drinking. Recovering quickly, he jokes that he expected a funeral rather than a reunion.
Kattigan admits that he followed Teor, Azune, and Occtis from the Fang home to the Tanners, mocking them as noisy, loud, clumsy, and easy to track even while he was half drunk.
After the execution, Kattigan follows Teor and the others to the Fang home. He considers entering the Farramh but turns away when the gathering grows louder and more celebratory. When the investigators emerge, he follows them instead.
Thimble cannot understand how the attackers discovered the secret hideout or arrived at precisely the right time. She concludes that something or someone betrayed the rescue operation.
After learning that Thjazi’s body is at Halandil’s home, Thimble tearfully asks the others to take her there.

Kattigan Vale and his enormous wolf companion Wulferic appear at Thimble’s hideout. The old warrior reveals that he witnessed Thjazi’s execution, considered intervening, and followed Teor, Azune, and Occtis from the Farramh.
Kattigan reconstructs the attack upon Thimble’s hideout and finds evidence pointing towards the Crow Keepers. Seven masked attackers entered expecting a fight, three were killed, and the survivors removed the bodies and stole the Stone of Nightsong.
