The Lloy Family

Thaisha Lloy and Occtis arrive at the Fang home after the failed attempt to rescue Thjazi. Thaisha reunites with Halandil and their daughter Shadia, while Occtis reveals that Thjazi helped him when he was a child.

Azune brings Thjazi’s body to the Fang home, carries his former commander inside and helps place him for the beginning of the Farramh.

Teor Pridesire and Loza Blade arrive at the Fang home after witnessing Thjazi’s execution. Loza performs an Old Path farewell beside Thjazi’s body, while Teor reunites with Azune and questions what has happened to Dol-Makjar.

Wicander Halovar and Tyranny arrive outside the Fang home in a carriage bearing the symbol of the Candescent Creed. They carry Thjazi’s scimitar, but the plants and birds of the Rookery react aggressively to their presence.

Wicander Halovar and Tyranny enter the Fang home carrying Thjazi’s scimitar. An old cold-iron ward reacts to Tyranny’s presence, Halandil withdraws from Wicander, and Tyranny receives an awkward introduction to mortal funeral etiquette.

Azune and Teor compare what they know about Thjazi’s execution and the changes within Dol-Makjar. Their conversation reveals that Teor’s younger brother Cyd was meant to participate in the failed rescue but has disappeared.

Azune and Occtis compare the failed stages of Thjazi’s rescue and realise that Thimble and Cyd are both missing. They recruit Teor and leave the Farramh to investigate Thimble’s secret hideout in the Tanners.

The masked Bolaire Lathalia arrives at Thjazi’s Farramh after observing his execution from the nobles’ gallery. Bolaire reunites with Thaisha and Tyranny as Halandil’s daughter Hero arrives with her mother, Elodie.

Loza asks Wicander to help Teor find work after her retirement. Aranessa then confronts House Halovar’s claims that it tried to save Thjazi before mourning her estranged husband and warning Halandil that Faerie’s influence is fading.

The colourful dwarven arcanist Murray Mag’Nesson arrives late to Thjazi’s Farramh with cranberry rolls and Yahrgraz. Her presence reveals the magical underworld and unconventional associates surrounding Thjazi during the final years of his life.

Julien secretly spits upon Thjazi’s body while the mourners are distracted. As he later leaves the Fang home, Bolaire perceives that the Old Path protection surrounding Thjazi has been crossed and that a small shadow-like presence is following Julien.

Thaisha confronts Julien outside the Farramh over his hatred of Thjazi, his past betrayal of his family and his position as teacher to her son. She warns that no patron or recovered status will protect him if her child is harmed.

An unnatural cold falls across the Rookery as Vaelus, an elven Sister of the fallen goddess Sylandri, arrives from the Mournvale. She accuses Thjazi of stealing the Stone of Nightsong and demands that Halandil return it.

Bolaire recalls the funerary purpose of the Stone of Nightsong while Thaisha retrieves a silver box connected to Thjazi. When Vaelus speaks Thimble’s name, the box opens and shattered black clay begins forming a mask resembling Bolaire’s.
