Walder asks the emperor how his brother can get the Gift the skullfaced boy spoke of. An old dwarven scholar named Marik Hrond tells them at the behest of the emperor. The Lovells go into the heart of the elven forests to where it was said that the Messiah of Life was slain on First Shem. There, they face the Echo of the First Champion of Famine, finally defeating him by trapping him & hitting him with the Staff. In the fight, Caspian slips & falls into a sealed chamber, where he finds a dying elf with Silver skin. He uses his power, at the elf's orders, to take the elf's powers. The elf dies & Caspian gains the Silver Blood.

16 / The Lovells return to Ranu. The war rages on, with Maraddon & Kavian facing Chryandemus. Caspian learns that Elodia is with Kavian's host & goes to it. There, he meets the Stormbringer, who offers him & his brothers a place in his Pack. Thinking it an adventure, they accept. Kavian entitles Caspian "Argent," Walder "Keeper of Justice," & Bartleby "Hawkeyes." Caspian & Elodia begin a romance. The war continues & Caspian distinguishes himself, using his Gift to great effect. Walder protects his brothers well, & Bartleby proves an amazing scout. Maraddon notices them & becomes fast friends with them. In a conversation one night, they prove to know the location of the Stone of Seven Truths, from the night they got lost so long ago. Maraddon jumps at the opportunity, leaving with the three Lovells, Vyakhos Hyrase, a mage named Gellendrun Martakan, & Rayner. Kavian takes up the war alone, his brother having vanished in the night. Fog sweeps the southern empire as Kavian's worry grows.

15 / Maraddon finds the Stone. Kavian drives the Indestructibles out.

14 / Maraddon & Kavian meet in the town of Anlir, where Maraddon has ordered a lavish Truth Temple be constructed. They argue, though Kavian knows nothing of the Stone. Threats are made & war is declared. For the next seven years, the Packlands & the Nation of Maraddon are at war, as Maraddon refuses to use the Stone directly on his brother. Maraddon's family is out of the Pack. When Caspian sides with Maraddon, Elodia leaves him in anger.

8 / Maraddon confides that he cannot defeat Kavian, due to the ceremony Chryandemus tricked him into as a child. Gellendrun offers to solve the problem, if Maraddon will forge some specially crafted swords. Maraddon agrees & has the swords forged.

7 / Gellendrun goes to Kavian & pretends to have joined him. Before the battle, Gellendrun casts his spell & steals half of Kavian's soul. Kavian cleaves into Gellendrun's head, but rides ahead to battle. Maraddon, using Rayner, Corella, & Altsisi as his generals, & Kimber as his political adviser, corners Kavian's forces in Avandale, with information given him by Orehek, who he captured a week before. Kimber advises Maraddon's forces abandon Altsisi's & maneuver around to get the jump on Kavian, getting many of Altsisi's men killed in the process. Altsisi never forgives Kimber, but Kimber blames her father for not being circumspect. Kavian & Maraddon meet in single combat & Maraddon cuts off Kavian's horn, shocking Kavian--Maraddon should not be able to hurt him. Rayner uses his shadowform to sneak up on Kavian, & Maraddon & Rayner force him to yield. Kavian surrenders, but asks that Maraddon to pardon his children & keep those that remain safe. Maraddon agrees, then banishes his brother, not being able to bring himself to kill him. Kavian, Grusaag, Marriman, & Dapvaala leave. Vyakhos Hyrase dies of wounds received in battle. His son becomes duke.

6 / Kavian reaches Berellia, where he finds a war brewing. He puts his skills to use & discovers his brother Chryandemus amongst the trouble there, having been defeated on Ranu. The two fight, Kavian desperate & slightly mad. The battles are savage & in the end, both brothers are wounded. Kavian bids Dapvaala follow Chryandemus & kill him, bearing the Sword of Wolves. The Hollow Child of Filth is wounded by Kavian before that, & puts part of his soul in a Servant of Filth. All the other Indestructibles are killed except Hranchak the Decrepit, who escapes with Chryandemus to the Island Bridge.

He is not heard from again for over 700 years. Kavian slowly recovers in Berellia. Grusaag, in a fit of rage, rides on the back of a whale to Ranu. Hranchak the Decrepit hides in an ancient temple in the Kali jungles, where he dies of his wounds & is made into a mummy.

3 / Hyun comes of age & takes the name Boxmaker. Grusaag arrives on Ranu & attacks Maraddon, but she is defeated by Gellendrun & Perival. Maraddon has a void prison built for her at the ruined town of Aldergast.

2 / Maraddon splits up Ranu into 11 regions. Kali he sets aside for Bellflowers to rule. Shanovi, once the center of Tarahin, he gives to Cadoy. Gellfenn he makes the center of his power & puts Rayner as the ruler. Saranami, the region Demopolis is in, is given to Kimber. Rallow, where Olympus stands, is given to Olympia. Gwyne, which holds the new temple of truth Maraddon built, is given to Corella. Kayvus, further north, is given to Hyun. Jael'dworan, where Kamlus Hyrase holds his power, is given to Altsisi. Thaellendown, where Thorian's brothels are, is given to Thorian. Varahaven, far to the north, where Aldergast prison is being built, is given to Vannah; Prendais, west of that, is given to Percival. Maraddon orders each to give up their old names & take up his name as their surname, to mark them as the rulers of the realm. He then makes Walder, Bartleby, & Caspian into knights, as befits their race, & creates the talent nobility. Isidore refuses title as Heir, so the honor goes to Rayner. Isidore takes to his lodge in the wilderness. Kavian's children are ofered places of comfort in the empire, so long as they do not have children or sow dissent against the empire. Herala agrees & returns to the church in Lannah. Goss, Ahaus, & Jhanson join Maraddon's army, under Altsisi. Fye prefers to leave, & he travels the world. Arn, simple & savage, is taken to his hut in the swamps, where he is cared for. Elodia, heartbroken, goes to stay first with Herala in the mountains. Cassarah returns to the circus. Orehek goes to study with Perival.

1 / Maraddon officially names his nation the Empire of Maraddon, unifying the continent of Ranu for the first time since the Age of Peace.

2 / Gellendrun, half-mad from his wound, begins playing with Kavian's half-soul. Maraddon orders him to put it into the swords, as he said he would. He does so, creating the soul swords. One the Emperor takes for himself, the Imperial sword. One he gives to Rayner, his heir, the Heir's sword. One he gives to Corella, the Tactician's sword. One he gives to Altsisi, the General's sword. One he gives to Isidore, the Hunter's sword. One he gives to the tribes that care for Bellflowers, the Tribal sword. One he gives to Bartleby, the Lovell sword. One he gives to Caspian, the Argent sword. Two he gives to the distinguished twin sons of Kamlus, the Twin swords. One he sends to friends in Ailanea, but it is lost on the way to reevers, the Lost sword. Caspian is ordered to marry.

10 / Caspian is slain by Gellendrun. Prince Rayner sets out himself to stop the mad wizard. He barely succeeds in taking him down. Maraddon has him sealed in a tower of void-infused stone. When denied the right to use his Staff on Gellendrun, Walder quits his term as Keeper of Justice, saying that if he does not have leave to bring about justice, he cannot rightly bear the Staff. He gives the Staff to an Imperial knight & returns to his tribe.
