Ket is recuperating in the Deoclation Palace from his injuries in the Fighting Pit. Under Porcia's care, and given the assumed identity of Tribune Justicus, he's not sure if he's a prisoner, a guest, or a patient. Caerie is under increasing scrutiny by Melceinnia, who suspects her of withholding information from her and Selene. Caerie also suspects that the High Priestess knows more about the flame and the crucible than she admits, and is keeping her own secrets. Macallan is still pressing both Carthagen and Mythria on their borders, and Zarkoffa hasn't given up the search for Ket. Aurelius is desperately trying to hold off Macallan, and hoping he doesn't end up fighting a war with the Mountain Kingdom as well.

And then there's the Empire of Quantanople. Located deep within the Hinterlands, they're viewing the developments in the Dreadlands with considerable trepidation, and wondering if and when they should act.
