    Summary

    Incendia accepts her hand and shakes it. Theodora’s palm is smooth and soft under hers, save for the developing line of calluses on the pad of flesh under her fingers.

    That night, the cold silence of Incendia’s quarters was filled with the sounds of her sweet gasping as she clawed into the deepest parts of herself using the same hand she shook Theodora Massimo af Scarus’ hand with.

    When the morning shift alarms toll at 7:00 AM sharp, Incendia Chorda’s body will be found scattered through Footfall’s network of gutters. House Chorda will arrive half a hand past 5:00 PM to collect and identify her remains, which have been cut up into tiny pieces and mixed with grox trimmings from the Shadow Quarter’s wet market, for burial. Thrones will be exchanged and resistant witnesses silenced because, even in death, House Chorda and the Drussians will not allow one true thing about Incendia Chorda stain the living saint she was meant to be.

    Summary

    There is a vague thought of proper courtship, somewhere in Isobel's mind. But there is also a room vacant at Last Light Inn—a perfect sanctuary, far away from anyone who might deign to interrupt and drag in with themselves the rest of the world—on a night mercifully relieved of the beckonings of duty.

    A few tendays after their fateful meeting, both Aylin and Isobel decide they are quite done with restraint and yearning.

    "Aylin," she manages through a slightly dry, halting throat, "you… you are… literally divine. In every way. I—"
    Aylin shakes her head with a small smile. "But of the two of us, it is you who is Selûne's finest creation."
    "I'm unsure your Mother had as much to do with my specific construction as She did with yours," Isobel attempts to demur only half-jokingly.
    But Aylin will not be dissuaded. "Did She not?" Her smile turns brilliant, her entire bright, intense regard aimed at Isobel. "Then I must conclude you improved upon Her design yourself, which makes you all the more marvellous

    RT Women Week Day 5 + Day 7
    Walking the iron corridors of the mon’keigh voidship, the Mors Aeternae, Yrliet is reminded at every turn of how little she belongs. Where her kin’s craftworlds are living and ensouled, this ship is cold, brutal, and fashioned for war - a mirror of its makers.
    And yet, for reasons she cannot understand, the Elantach seems determined not only to show her kindness - he seems intent on easing her sorrows she never truly spoke aloud by presenting to her a surprise.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    But still, she could not help the deep-seated melancholy of knowing her Path would never allow her to return to the beauty of its halls again, and that knowledge never felt as present as it was now - now that she had exchanged the natural beauty of the Lilaethan, for the confines of the Mors Aeternae.

    The Eternal Death, in crude mon'keigh tongue.

    A fitting name, chosen by a species who had nothing but death and violence on its mind.

    Summary

    Somewhere up there, among that bridal veil of stone, lies Creche K’liir, where Lae’zel was born and reared. But Lae’zel is not there anymore. She has gone somewhere more distant still, somewhere far beyond Shadowheart’s reach.

    How fitting that the moon should weep. For what has been done to Lae’zel, and for what Shadowheart is about to do.

    In a voice scarcely louder than a breath, she says, “Moonmaiden, forgive me.”

    Two years after the events of the game, and one year and six months after learning of Lae’zel’s demise, Shadowheart returns to Baldur’s Gate.

    They say time heals all wounds. This, Shadowheart knows from personal experience, is a lie.
