The spine of night
Tzod explains that dreams during death showed her what happened next.Īfter being gone from her fellow scholars for several seasons, Phae-Agura returns to Pyre to find peasants revolting against her order, which now controls the city by hoarding knowledge. The Guardian questions how Tzod came back to life. Ghal-Sur returns to the pantheon while Mongrel becomes Pyre’s new king. Mongrel watches from a distance as Ghal-Sur suddenly stabs Tzod to death to steal her bloom. When Pyrantin comes to stop them, Tzod uses magic to disintegrate his horse and drown Pyrantin in mud. Ghal-Sur convinces Tzod to use the bloom’s power to escape the dungeon. Pyrantin takes revenge on Tzod by having his army burn her swamp. Pyrantin accuses Mongrel of intentionally allowing Tzod to assault him. Pyrantin has Tzod and Ghal-Sur imprisoned.

Ghal-Sur steps in to protect Tzod when Mongrel moves to retaliate. Tzod summons blue fire that burns Pyrantin’s face. Pyrantin asks to see a demonstration of Tzod’s magic. As Pyrantin prepares to whip Tzod, Mongrel tells him about her blue flame. Lord Pyrantin summons Ghal-Sur, a librarian from the scholars of the Asher pantheon, to chronicle his subjugation of Tzod. Despite using the bloom’s magic to defend her people from Mongrel’s slaughter, Tzod was captured and taken to the city of Pyre. In the course of expanding his father’s empire, Lord Pyrantin sent soldiers led by the warlord Mongrel to take Tzod’s land. Tzod recounts how she was queen of a swamp tribe. Stunned by her statements, The Guardian asks Tzod to explain what happened in the world below while he slumbered. Tzod points out that the bloom’s power is weakening and says a spore already floated down the mountain to man. Inside, Tzod finds the world’s last remaining “bloom,” a blue flower imbued with great magical power.Īrmed with a sword, ‘The Guardian’ stops Tzod from taking the flower by claiming mankind is not prepared for the revelations it holds. Tzod scales a snowy mountain to reach a cave formed from a massive skull.
