Living
Blood of Fire,
I had
reservations, but your so-called ‘Fel anchor’ captured the curator
Havelton after my own scouts could not. I am a proud man, but not
too proud to see utility in action.
Despite
their effectiveness, I plead with you to not yet move on the
island. It is imperative that we know exactly what is on in that
place before we attack, and my interrogation of the witch scholar
provides is already providing answers.
For
instance: That blade of the Queenkiller’s is not of Ordennan make
at all. It is something much, much older, built by occultists
before the erasure. They called it the “Blade in the Dark,” and it
was supposedly a tool to fight some ancient nemesis.
She
said that it held something older than the Ordennan Empire, though
that seemed obvious—old blades draw blood for long times. When I
demanded the heretic tell me more, she looked me in the eyes with
the ferocity of Impetor Mall and said, plainly, that for all of its
sharpness, the blade in the dark is first and foremost a place. “It
is a gateway and a manor both, and invitations are always at the
ready.”
I am
not sure what that means, but this alone gives me pause. Give me
another day with “Sunder” Havelton. The answers will be our
shield.

Like
Her
blade is not Ordennan yet kills the cursed and the uncanny? Then
it—like the Queenkiller herself—must be retrieved. Whatever other
secrets Havelton knows can be obtained after we recover Hella
Varal, dispatch her traitorous allies, and deal with whatever power
has drawn them here.
You
say that we should not yet moe on the island, Glasseye. Yet as we
speak, I raise ballast so that our ship may take flight: The island
is moving on us.
