Aeodan sat behind a mahogany desk, eyes staring unblinkingly at the strange device in front of him. The ChordBox, the piece of Shay history that he recovered from Farafan's temple, taunted him with its strange shape and unknowable runes. He frowned, as he had a million times since leaving...

Inside the mountain, a woman sat alone, in a cavern that diverged into a shadowed fork. Neither path was well lit, and the ceilings were tall, so much so that even her light stone failed to illuminate the space fully. And on a boulder which she perched, bundled in a cloak which...
