Summary
There were only a few things Idra knew about the Great Avar. He was, of course, related to Idra through his father's line; a younger brother of Nemolis Drazhar, born to the scorned, unfortunate Chenelo Zhasan. That was the source of his claim to the Barizheise throne: he was the grandson of the previous Great Avar, Maru Sevrasched. He knew that his half-uncle took as his standard a prancing lion known as the Corat' Anmeir, Cruelty of the Sun, in partial tribute to his grandfather's Corat' Arhos.
It also might have been a nod to his Drazhadeise blood, which would have been bold if that was truly the intention, given that he had been disowned at fourteen.
(Or: In the fifth year of the reign of the Emperor Edrenechibel IX, the Great Avar Maia Sevraseched came to the Ethuveraz for a state visit.)

Summary
She had let go of everything else; hope of a retrieval, hope of an apology, hope of seeing her sisters or her son again. It would be enough to know. She did not have to do anything with the knowledge. Ulis would understand. Surely he would.
"To the best of your knowledge, Othala— is the Archduke Maia alive and safe?”
Thara Celehar stared at her for a very long moment, his grip on her trembling fingers very firm. Then he said;
“Sister— he is.”

Summary
Ciris had decided long ago that Nelar's personal choices, no matter how ill-advised they seemed, were outside of his notice, and so he had not been paying any mind to the Lord Chancellor's actions until his attention was suddenly and unpleasantly caught by a sharp snap, followed by a crashing clattering noise that made half of the attendees turn as one towards its source.
Setheris Nelar ruins Winternight. Ciris attempts to right a wrong.

Summary
“If it kills someone, the haunting will grow stronger.”
“I’m not going to ask how you know that.”Thara, I have need of thy help and counsel and earnestly hope thou art inclined to give it. When last we saw each other, I told thee of the manor house near Rosiro that was part of my bride’s dower, which we hoped to be able to move into after our marriage. Close inspection discovered the house to be perfectly habitable with only minor refurbishment, and Aimelo and I accordingly took up residence here about a month after the wedding.
More recently I have put in hand the restoration of the chapel attached to the estate (which was in a more dilapidated condition than the house) and the crypt beneath it. But for the past fortnight at least the work has been plagued by what the workmen describe as hauntings—minor breakages, falls of plaster, dropped tools, thrown stones and the like, which they insist are more than mere accident. I myself am of two minds about whether to believe this, but what I am certain of is that thou wilt be able to discern the truth of the matter and perhaps have some idea of what can be done about it.

Summary
Arlu's situation was what her father would have called delicate. She had willingly taken the oaths of a novice, binding herself to the Athmaz'are until she either completed her education or was dismissed. She was not yet of age, but at fourteen she was old enough to speak for herself, and her father had given his blessing very enthusiastically—her sister had said he was 'living vicariously'. Arlu belonged to the Athmaz'are until such time as her novitiate was completed; even if, like all novices, she was still technically a member of her father's house, it was not meant to matter.
But her father's house was Drazhada, and if there was one thing Arlu had known since she was a little girl, it was that that made all the difference.
Arlu Drazhin joins the Athmaz'are. It is a dream come true, and a greater challenge than she could have ever expected.

Summary
As I waited for sleep, my thought strayed to the methods used by the Nazhmorhathveras to hunt the sheleian that ranged on the steppes. No barbarian would have been foolish enough to try to take on a flock; though a sheleis resembled little more than a large stack of poorly cared-for carpets, the adults of a pack would vigorously defend their young. Thick of hide, dense of fur, tusked, and ferocious—the Nazhmorhathveras stalked the steppes in search of a sheleis that had gotten itself separated from the pack. A lone sheleis would flee, in the face of a hunter’s spear, and the hunter would pursue. Not at the desperate pace set by the sheleis; the beast could leave his sight, and still he would track it, at a steady and persistent pace. It might take hours, even a day or more, but eventually the sheleis would collapse from exhaustion, and the hunter would be ready when it did.

Summary
Telimezh woke in the dim twilight of a December afternoon, chilled from more than just the weather. He washed quickly, forced a mouthful of freezing water down his painfully dry throat, and stepped into the nohecharei's common area, avoiding eye contact with his new partner.
The memory of last night was still sharp in his mind—his mind that was, briefly, wholly his own again, the magical bond that had allowed Dazhis Athmaza to hear his thoughts (and, for those last miserable hours, he to hear Dazhis's in return) severed like a rotted limb cut off to save its owner's life.
In the oaths of the nohecharei to their partners is an ancient mazeise art that binds their thoughts together. With one such bond already broken, what does it mean for Telimezh to swear anew?

Summary
“Dear Maia,” said Csethiro, amused. “Lack of presumption, thy name is Edrehasivar. Well, we are sorry for the faux pas. Have no fear, we are used to keeping quiet on the matter.” She frowned. “Gosh. For a woman who was so worried you disliked us, we are certainly giving you plenty of reasons, in our attempts to diffuse the situation. Damnation.” She sat back, then said, “Ooh, Goëlar,” and sat forwards again. “You have the set! And well-read, we dare say, how impressive…”
The woman's mind was like a scanning bird of prey, Csevet thought exhaustedly as she tottered out of the chair to look at his bookshelf. Pinned one topic and only let it go when it was in its death throes, then leapt instantly off to murder another.(csevet and csethiro have three main things in common: pakh'palar, popular literature, and purpose. not necessarily in that order.)
