The View from the Tower
I'm not sleeping tonight. I haven't had a spread in weeks that didn't include the Tower and the Ten of Swords.

The Black Watch
The Black Watch, Introduced: Please do not forget, in these trying times, that it is your life at stake.

Visions of Smoke
(Day Three [Message given to a courier-imp Bound by its Heart to deliver with all haste. The courier, and the message, are never seen after leaving Chaska's quarters.] R --- I have seen you in a vision. You walk...

The Unkindness
They were all around me, perched everywhere in my study, all looking at me. As if they are there even when I am awake, and but await my sleep that they can see me. For several moments, they watched me as I watched them. Then one made a noise. Not a noise as you'd expect from a bird. Not a real sound. Not one I can describe well in real terms. It was...a declaration of war, I think.

Mother's Milk
Should need arise, you will know what to do.

From the Tower's Window
To Fiona from Chaska: All is well at the Tower, though I understand why Father does not care to visit. There is a very strange feeling here, for which I have few words. Pressure. Chill. Vibration. Power.

Free Calais
The purpose of this missive is to declare that the Ways of Sawall Tower are no more! We control them now, and have Named them the Ways of Free Calais, no longer a part of the Thelbane Empire or of House Sawall!

Behind Enemy Lines
A letter to the Captain: Yes, the Ways have been claimed by a rebellion faction controlled by the Minor House of Calais.

Ayes and Vision
You will be pleased to hear that Ninevel is working out quite nicely. It has been just over a week here, and I have been able to sleep several times, with no sign of the birds. Oh, and there's been a takeover.

Damascus: Altars
Day Twenty Five Message sent by Black Seeker, not received Chaska, "Answers come in dreams and portents," you said. I have never believed, but I also have never forgotten. I remembered the name Baron Eidolos. He was indicted as...

Grave Danger
Day 30 (doodled by Chaska in her gravy, eliciting a sympathetic look from Valeriya) Something's very wrong...

A Cordial Invitation
I had to try to explain it all to little Lhesley and Greghori, and I want to warn you all: I lied. I told them Mother was framed. If one of you thinks you can do a better job by explaining that she killed our father, in cold blood, over politics, you're welcome to try.

A Beating of Wings
I am well enough, for the time. I hope the same can be said of you, though I have a feeling it cannot.

Black Watch Ticking
If I can simply keep things quiet, we will all come through this, but I have no idea how long I will have to go on this way. The Subject begins to pick at the walls of her encapsulement; more, I am sure, than she has revealed. I've one further hope, though it is a tenuous one. I have spoken to one of the other hostages to House Calais, the one they believe to be Lord Malcolm. He is not. I do not know who he is, but I suspect he may be the Emperor's former Spymaster. If he is, I will not need to ask his aid; he will know, and find a way.

Maidens Aspiring to Godheads...and vice versa
A source is not easily discarded. Their enemies become yours, their lives your responsibility - work against them, and weaken yourself.

Shattered Dreams
Please consider trusting me. The sky is very dark, and we are at the fringes of the storm.

Playpen Pals
Perhaps it will make sense to Ana, and she can explain it when we find her.

Moderately Expensive Calais
Rinaldo of the Phoenix sits upon the Throne of Thelbane, and does what? Does he Negotiate with us? Does he Thank us? Does he Attack us? No! He IGNORES us.

Burning at Both Ends
I told you of the birds, before I left, did I not?

Broken Promises
Lhes and Greg make an appearance. "But anyway, we miss you, *but we hope you're having fun in the Tower. We know you didn't go to have fun, but I hope you are anyway, OK?*"

Black Watch Winding Down
Lanexa: Still I am compelled to say: This Chaska is odd. I simply cannot get a grasp on who, or what, she is. How can I protect something I cannot know?

My Body Is A Temple
And then I do not know. I must have slept, without dreams, for it was not until later that I woke. Two days, according to Lanexa. When I did, the Baron was there, watching me. When he saw I was looking at him, he asked how I was, and then... Then he told me to open my eyes.

What's Up Doc?
The Lightbringer sez: "This Means War."
