The Execution of Thjazi Fang
Thjazi Fang was publicly condemned and hanged beneath the Guardian Wall under the authority of the Chamber of Lords-Advisory.
Overview
Thjazi Fang was transported under heavy Sundered House guard to the gallows beneath the Guardian Wall. A House Tachonis herald proclaimed a death sentence issued by the Chamber of Lords-Advisory to the Revolutionary Council, and the Photarch of the Candescent Creed addressed the city. Thjazi spoke privately with Halandil, publicly condemned the authority killing him and was hanged when the secret rescue failed to remove him.

What Did Thjazi See in the Sky?
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.
How Was Thjazi’s Rescue Sabotaged?
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.
Why Did the Photarch Need Thjazi Dead?
What political, religious, personal or strategic reason made Thjazi’s death necessary to the Photarch?
The Photarch rejects an expected commutation and insists that Thjazi must die, without revealing the necessity behind the execution.
Wicander tells Halandil that his family gave him full assurance that Thjazi would be spared. He cannot explain why the Photarch instead insisted that the execution proceed.
What Is the Paint Waiting with Bolaire?
Is the paint literal, magical, coded or a prepared resource, and what does Bolaire know about it?
Thjazi’s final private instructions say that paint is waiting for Halandil with Bolaire, but Episode 1 never explains the phrase.
Thjazi tells Halandil that paint is waiting for him with Bolaire, but dies before explaining further.
Why Did Thjazi Warn Halandil About the Penteveral?
What threatens Murray or the Penteveral, and what help did Thjazi expect Halandil to provide?
Immediately before his death, Thjazi urgently orders Halandil to help Murray and the Penteveral, without explaining the danger or task.
Murray later confirms that she works at the Penteveral and that Davrasi is not permitted inside, but no one discusses Thjazi’s warning.
What Happened to Dol-Makjar’s Revolution?
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.

Teor and Loza arrived in Dol-Makjar in time to witness the final moments of Thjazi’s execution from the rear of the crowd.
Despite the official celebration surrounding Thjazi’s execution, Teor observed remorse, sadness and confusion among members of the crowd.
Teor believes that Thjazi did a great deal to help people beyond himself and deserved more support during his final moments.
Thjazi’s execution causes Teor to question what has happened to Dol-Makjar and the revolutionary institutions he previously knew.
The Sundered Houses supplied the principal show of force for Thjazi’s execution.
After the execution, the Sundered Houses left the Revolutionary Guard to recover and transport Thjazi’s body.

Before leaving Wicander alone with her father, Shadia’s expression softens and she thanks Wicander for whatever he attempted to do for Thjazi.
Wicander admits that he failed Halandil. He says that he spoke with his family and received their full assurance that Thjazi would be spared.
Wicander says that ruthless punishment for minor crimes against House Tachonis is not the Halovar way and claims that his family did not care about the offended house or the underlying crime.
Wicander explains that commuting Thjazi’s sentence would have improved the Halovar family’s reputation and helped its outreach across Dol-Makjar because Thjazi was widely admired.
Halandil studies Wicander for signs of deception but is unable to determine whether Wicander is telling him the whole truth.
Azune and Occtis agree that they must locate Thimble. Neither of them saw her during Thjazi’s execution.
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.
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.
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.
Thimble remembers Thjazi and hears his final message asking that she be told not to be scared, while the image of a soaring falcon passes through her fading consciousness.
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.
A former member of the Torn Banner named Casimir was responsible for providing the wagon needed for Thjazi’s extraction.
Thjazi was supposed to break the concealed rune, magically appear inside the waiting wagon, and leave the city before meeting Thaisha and Occtis for the final extraction.
Kattigan had witnessed something troubling in the rural area surrounding a crofters’ village. The experience drove the normally reclusive woodsman into Dol-Makjar seeking a drink, where whispers carried news that Thjazi was in danger.
While watching Thjazi’s execution, Kattigan imagines leaping onto the stage, killing a guard, freeing Thjazi, and dying beneath a volley of arrows. Although he knows the attempt would fail, his grip tightens upon his club as he considers acting.
Wulferic nudges Kattigan’s hand as his companion considers attacking the execution platform. The gesture causes Kattigan to release his grip and abandon the suicidal rescue attempt.
Thimble establishes that Thjazi was taken into custody approximately two weeks before his execution.
Bolaire attended the execution expecting someone to help the clever Thjazi escape. They wanted to witness personally who possessed the power to save him and who chose to exercise—or withhold—that power.
Thjazi’s death is identified as the first execution in Dol-Makjar’s history carried out exclusively under the authority of the Chamber of Lords-Advisory, marking an important expansion of power for the Sundered Houses.
Elodie confirms that she attended Thjazi’s execution. She embraces Thaisha, offers Halandil her condolences, and avoids dwelling upon the comparatively positive state of her own life and business.
Elodie greets Bolaire as Master Lathalia and says that she saw them elsewhere in the nobles’ viewing gallery. Bolaire responds that they remain at her service.
During Thjazi’s execution, Julien sat within the nobles’ gallery beside an empty seat intended for Aranessa. He knew that she was nearby but could not tell whether she witnessed Thjazi’s final moments.
As Julien watches Thjazi’s execution from the noble box, the faintest grin appears at the corner of his mouth.
An older noble named Jacques Malterres congratulates Julien after the execution and jokes that Julien should have been permitted to perform the killing himself.
The Egerion family is named as one of the noble families to which the older gallery noble might have belonged before he identifies himself as Jacques Malterres.
Julien tells Aranessa that the man executed was no longer the man she once loved. He argues that Thjazi would not have reached the gallows had he remained that person.
Aranessa says that she loved Thjazi throughout every year of their long separation. She hid during his death because she could not bring herself to watch, explaining that love remains even when people turn away from one another.
Julien argues that Thjazi chose his pride over Aranessa’s love and has now paid for that decision twice over.
Wicander offers to ask his family for more information about Thjazi’s execution. Halandil asks him to leave the matter alone temporarily, saying they can pick up the pieces over the following days.
Aranessa awkwardly embraces Halandil upon entering the Fang home. When she sees Thjazi’s body upon the table, she apologises to Halandil for failing to save him.
Aranessa greets Wicander with barely concealed rage and sarcastically remarks upon the burden House Halovar must have carried in allowing justice to be served when it supposedly desired another outcome.
Wicander insists that House Halovar did more than merely wish for Thjazi to be spared and claims that the family actively worked towards a different outcome.
Aranessa reveals that she visited Villa Aurora the previous day to speak with Wicander’s mother but was left waiting for approximately two or three hours without receiving her attention.
Murray recognises many practising arcanists at the Farramh as members of the magical underworld with whom Thjazi had recently associated.
Julien says that his only regret is that he could not watch Thjazi die twice, then spits upon the corpse and walks away.
Thaisha accuses Julien of attending only to gloat over Thjazi’s death.
Julien claims that Thjazi turned against the people who helped elevate him and therefore needed to be taught a lesson.
Julien openly acknowledges that he hated Thjazi, while insisting that he does not hate Thaisha.
