The Name the Ward Remembered

Nyra entered the investigation as a scholar of old magic and became evidence in her own research when Saint Orien named her an heir of the Veiled Flame. Valec’s genealogies proved someone else had been tracing the same forgotten lineage.

Nyra used the Dawnshards to understand the Sun Gate during the siege, but the reason Seraphine trusted the Veiled Flame over royal blood remained hidden. The chapter closed with Nyra certain that her ancestry had been deliberately erased, but without knowing what responsibility came with it.
