Summary

TO: Chief-Justiciar Qinta Quatróna

Living Blood of Fire, you know I write you this at great peril, because it is you who imperils me. But whatever my ambition—and whatever your animus towards me for it—know I hold one thing in greater esteem in myself: Our nation. And I have seen with my eyes a more dire threat to our home than any plague, any animated corpse, any beast.

I saw it that night, in the museum, but denied it for a full day. My report on the events there list only an anomaly brought on by the magic of the fraudulent archeologist. But whatever this is, it's the opposite of an illusion. It's somehow more real than what's around us. Not less.

Please, Qinta, put aside your ceaseless fear that I'm envious of your position. Our feud was childish, and the continent is no place for kids games. Trust me here, for once. I've attached my notes on Watchword "Bright One." Read them, study them, but know they are incomplete. With this one, notes will always be incomplete.

Loyal Always to Ordenna's Shores,
Iduna Fel
Justiciar-Captain

0:00.0	Last time on Friends at the Table.
0:03.0	There are three big scorch marks in the room.
0:07.0	One of them cuts across a large door of wood and glass that opens out onto a balcony that looks out over Rosemara.
0:15.0	The second is across the floor and wall and cuts through the Chancellor's bed in the same way.
0:20.0	The third, which is slightly lighter in color, is it's below a window that's opposite the Chancellor's bed.
0:26.0	There's also a sign of struggle. There's a broken glass and an overturned bottle of wine.
0:30.0	And then there is what is left of Lutz, a collection of ashes in the middle of the room.
0:35.0	The districts of Rosemarrow operate their justice systems independently.
0:40.0	Each district can try and execute a criminal for the assassination of the Chancellor.
0:45.0	In fact, if they fail to do so and instead just confirm what another district has said is true,
0:51.0	they won't get as much kind of like political prestige as getting to say
0:54.5	forever we were the ones who killed the assassin. Everybody else was wrong. The thing
0:59.4	is that a couple of the Noel she's worked with told her recently that Mother Glory had set up a late night sit down with the Chancellor and that was supposed to happen the night that he was killed.
1:12.0	A few nights ago from the corner of her eye as she was drifting off to sleep late at night, through the window she has,
1:18.0	she saw a bright light and then a distant crash.
1:22.0	That happened on the same night that the sun disappeared.
1:25.0	She thought it was a dream, but who knows?
1:28.0	Appleton wanted my master to meet with an associate of his, and it sounded like very bad news it sounded just
1:36.2	disturbing and dangerous and all meetings should take place here in the estate I've
1:40.8	told Master Leonard that many times.
1:44.0	He's an illusion, Mage.
1:47.0	Our ordenin steel already breaks all sorts of magics, and his, our curtains waiting to be pulled back little else and we have him
