Setting:\u00a0 Immediately after the end of Echoes of Betrayal and the Lady’s death, there’s chaos and suspicion.\u00a0 Finally, as things began to settle down and reorganize–but still in the same place and with others around, Kieri asks his uncle, the Lady’s son Amrothlin, a crucial question.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Who is now the ruler of the elvenhome?\u201d Kieri asked Amrothlin.\u00a0 \u201cWill it be you, her son, or had she named another in her stead?”<\/p>\n
Amrothlin shook his head.\u00a0 “There is no elvenhome.”<\/p>\n
“What–? Of course there is…must be.”\u00a0 At the look on Amrothlin’s face, Kieri said, “How can it be gone?”<\/p>\n
“Do you not see<\/span><\/em>?” Amrothlin gestured to his own grief-stricken face. “Do I look the same?\u00a0 Do you feel the influence of the elvenhome?\u00a0 It was hers–her<\/span> creation–and it died with her.\u00a0 She alone sustained the Ladysforest; she had no heir.\u00a0 We are un-homed, nephew.\u00a0 We are cast away and nowhere in the world will we find a home now.”<\/p>\n ……………………………..<\/p>\n Well, that may not be much solace…but it opens several interesting cans of…maybe worms, and maybe something else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Setting:\u00a0 Immediately after the end of Echoes of Betrayal and the Lady’s death, there’s chaos and suspicion.\u00a0 Finally, as things began to settle down and reorganize–but still in the same place and with others around, Kieri asks his uncle, the Lady’s son Amrothlin, a crucial question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[115],"tags":[28],"class_list":["post-1648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-snippet","tag-snippet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1648"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1648"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1648\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1649,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1648\/revisions\/1649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
