Slaan and Kaelith leave the archive ruin with the pages bundled close, climbing to a hidden safe house where no beacon ever hums. The little cabin sits buried in wind-scoured stone, its shutters nailed tight against the mountain dark.
Inside, Slaan spreads the recovered ledger pages over the rough table. Names, routes, and seals stare back up at her, the trail now running from the chapel’s erased records to the hands above them.
Kaelith
Veyran, Sable Writ, High Confessor Lareth. This is the chain. Bottom to top.
Kaelith
Markul was only one mover. These three are the ones calling the shots.
He lays one scarred finger on the page where the ink is freshest, then slides it toward Slaan. The copied marks confirm the Chapel still has a live thread here, but the safe house stays quiet, clean, and blind.
A draft slips under the door and lifts the corner of the top page. In that brief flutter, the next buried note shows through, stamped with a chapel seal and a half-erased destination.
