As his last act, the General breaks Spire's 'key', letting things loose inside the city. The Palace of Timeless Winters sprouts branches and towers, going from tower to castle, while a number of buildings simply come out of the ground and become part of the city's landscape, while raw essence suffuses it like a miasma... a heroic group of Windians goes into it and stops this release, with heavy casualties. Four beasts leave Spire in conflagration of Fire and Essence.
The Pale Angel is drained, and falls into bleak despair, a vulture on the battlefield, looking for blood, too tired and drained to think of anything but the Void. Cael finds Iron Whisper, manages to break her faith, oath her not to strike at them ever again, and leaves her be, spending the night with a river spirit. Iselsis has strange, prophetic dreams where she remembers her past and has her subconcious urge her to remember, but before the demon inside her takes her over and destroys her soul, Ryshassa pushes her off those depths and back to the world.
