==Synopsis==
[[Nanette Weishart|Nanette]] proud of what she accomplished the other day struts around showing those in [[The Wandering Inn]] her new look to the well-mannered applause, Rose informs them that the clothing was from Honored [[Deskie|Deskie's]] people selling their wares whose tribe will arrive en masse soon to [[Liscor]]. Nanette notices Mrsha lacking interests into her new fashion grumbling about her deficient focus on the [[Ironwood Wand]], [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]] arrives at the main hall for breakfast taking note of Nanette new attire which leads into an argument about the magic wand once again. As more guests come to the inn to eat their breakfast, Nanette is suddenly being pulled away by some magical means with it being deemed the work of the [[Witches|[Witches]]] of [[Riverfarm]] who are calling her. Mrsha having no choice in the matter follows the commotion signaling to [[Redscar Ischen|Redscar]] that she'll come when she can.

[[Rags]] is woken up by Redscar informing her that their [[Gnolls|Gnoll]] co-conspirator will be delayed for a while, Rags then orders the assembling of the warriors and to notify the [[Trolls]] of the upcoming fight later today as she'll travel back to [[Goblinhome]] in a few hours.

Nanette arrives summoned at a ritual spot surrounded by menhirs full of designs that portrays iconography that represents each Witches' coven, in this judgement of Witches, Nanette explains to them of her achievements the previous day with the 'Meeting of Foes'. The Witches begin to critique manner of how the meeting was accomplished, Nanette's arrogance, her lack of forethought to the possible [[Goblins|Goblin]] reaction to the [[Goblin Kings|Goblin King]] while also admiring her new skill. Dismayed by the evaluation, Nanette then tries to argue with the Witches of her side of the disagreement about the magic wand with them trying to reason with her to be more equitable of Lyonette's side. Mrsha meanwhile broods on how she'll escape the detection of the [[Thronebearers of Calanfer|Thronebearers]] to make her way to the [[Palace of Fates|[Palace of Fates]]] unsure if she should share that secret with someone else within the family, feeling that since it was her who somehow conjured it that it falls to her to bear the responsibility for it. The Witches feel the burden Mrsha is carrying with [[Thallisa]] coming up to the Gnoll child to offer her services if desired, Mrsha declines the offer with the thought that sharing the knowledge of the Palace with other would inevitably mean the loss of control of what happens.

The group make their way back to the inn while the some of the Witch observing them leaving, they remark on how Nanette can be so oblivious to Mrsha plight even without her hat. They decide to stand aside for now with not interfering into Mrsha's problem as they believe it needs a subtle touch to manage.

Nanette angered by the [Witches] assessment whines to Mrsha about it with the Gnoll girl sharing her thoughts somewhat agreeing with her sister, Mrsha shares that she thinks she understands a part of what it means to be a [Witch] asking Nanette if she has the qualifications for the class. Nanette snaps at Mrsha for even bringing up the idea that she can be a [Witch] with her childish behavior, feeling hurt Mrsha was about to lash out but backs away using it as an opportunity to get [[Dalimont]] off her back as she returns to the inn.

In the [Palace of Fates], Rags is compiling her notes about the [[Mortemdefieir Titan]] with the help of her staff, she starts to open a few doors of if they told 'X' about the Titan with mostly poor results. Not wanting to risk much, Rags devises a simple outline of what she plans to do, she then tells [[Fightipilota]] to stop looking at other people's lives with the doors. Hearing of no door where [[Ryoka Griffin|Ryoka]] becomes a good mother makes [[Dyeda]] cry out in outrage, the three Goblins go out to search for that door leaving Rags to herself to continue conjuring up door for information. With a lot of knowledge and secrets of past events being blocked especially of events preceding the [[Creler Wars]], Rags thinks it has to do with Mrsha lacking knowledge of the wider world and her low level. Opening a door of when the Titan does something interesting shows it burrowing down towards the [[Mother of Graves]] after learning that some of the guardians of the [[Liscor's Dungeon|Walled City of Graves]] are dead. Moving on, Rags resumes looking for information about the Titan's weakness as her staff returns with no luck on find a good mother in Ryoka saying that there is no door for that reality. Rags tests this herself with every result showing Ryoka always trying to be a mother but never an actual mother, Mrsha appears asking what's up with them and Ryoka and falls into the same conundrum as the Goblins. After a funny moment with doors of everyone being married to [[Garen Redfang|Garen]], Rags sets off leaving Dyeda and [[Rianchi]] in the case that she fails to warn everybody, Mrsha's paws shakes as she walks through the empty hallways towards the door with the [[Faerie Flowers]] root attached to it, entering it as the memory [[Sheta (Palace of Fates)|Sheta]] watches.

Since the battle at the Winter Solstice, [[Pallass|Pallass's]] armies has had a shift in organization due to the losses with [[Edellein Blackwing|Edellein's]] 4th Army becoming the 1st Army who defend Pallass from sieges, and [[Shirka|Shirka's]] 3rd Army becoming the 2nd Army of Pallass who are the attacking force. The second Army marches through tough terrain to hide from Goblin notice as who could've been a better successor to [[Chaldion Oliwing|Chaldion's]] position and the possible consequences of their siege on Goblinhome. A group of Passmaws starts attacking putting the 2nd Army on the defensive for the moment; after killing the monsters [Strategist] [[Ulhouse]] catches up to where Shirka is hearing her complaining about their current predicament. Feeling that they have been found out somehow, Shirka orders a deepening in their surveillance and defenses for the night, the Army treks onwards to the next battle.

Rags informs [[Dulat]], the Trolls and Goblins there about what she has regarding the Titan known strengths and weaknesses, she then shares the plan of destroying two of the limbs by going for the seithcore embedded within the appendages when they merge. Having control of where the fighting will take place, they set forth to enact the plan.

[[Teriarch]] throughout the ages has taken the moniker of many roles such as a Hero or a grizzled Veteran giving aid to those in need, [[Magnolia Reinhart|Magnolia]] reminisce of a time when she was younger full of hope and idealism as she watches the Old Fool train with the two younger dragons. As Teriarch tells the story of the creation the [[Heartflame Breastplate]] rambling on to many different other topics, he makes the assumption that the little Goblin Chieftain, like the countless young women that looked up to him to being their perfect Hero-like being until they start stumbling upon the cracks as [[Rafaema Manusara Coloseuvia|Rafaema]] is currently going through, looked at Brass Dragon as some source of guidance or inspiration. Magnolia digs into his words stating that a Goblin of her kind would only need him for destruction as the Dragonlord of Flames and that he drives those he tells mad by the manner he portrays the truth through a convoluted knot of tangled words, to tell Rags the clear truth or do not bother. Teriarch feeling antagonized by the tirade apologizes for his failings and gets goaded into telling the story of the truth, beginning to ramble as the subject matter contains a lot of concepts such as multiverse theory, the origin of the Goblin species and what a [[Dead Gods|God]] even is. As he narrates he suddenly becomes nervous and stops to the angry uproar of his audience, being heckled into going further Teriarch was about to share the source of the Goblin issue but then remembers why he was never able to tell the truth before. Magnolia was about to hit the Old Fool until she looks at the same direction he is up at the sky and sees the [[Twin Moons|Green Moon]] grow brighter, it winked splitting the air apart as it shoots something like a comet out of the heavens onto Teriarch.

[[Taletevirion]], even with his experience with destruction of large magnitudes throughout his life, is astounded by what he just witnessed with the [[Halflings|Halfling's]] arrival that should've cratered the [[High Passes]]. The [[Halfling (Moon)|Moon Halfling]] begins slinging antimagic stones hard enough to damage even Teriarch's tough scales with one nearly blow the [[Unicorns|Unicorn's]] head off, the many other combatants try to battle against the Halfling but fail to amount to anything as he maneuvers through all of the strikes coming his way. Magnolia fails in her efforts to negotiate with the Halfling as does Teriarch's breathe fails in killing him, Taletevirion manages to pierce the Halfling in the chest until he registers that the Halfling's armor is linked to another dimension redirecting any injury away. Teriarch tries to reason with the Halfling to no avail as the Guardian of Forbidden Knowledge continues his onslaught, Magnolia once again tries to parley with the Halfling as Teriarch has set up a spell circle of mutually assured destruction. The [Lady] brings up [[House Walchaís]] as one of the proponents of worshipping of their shared enemy but the Halfling is unwilling to go after them, done with the fighting the Halfling tells Teriarch that he was given three chances but no longer any more on telling the truth to others and then leaves. They all recuperate from the beatdown as Taletevirion goes around checking on everybody, Teriarch is delighted to see the reason for his cautiousness all these ages and tells the Unicorn of all the times he's met the Halfling. Limping over to Magnolia, Teriarch can her the [Lady] provoking and goading [[Bethal Walchaís|Bethal]] hoping that she'll raise the stakes enough to call the Halfling upon her. Questioning why the Halfling didn't arrive at the battle on the Winter Solstice, tremors emerge from below the mountain with Teriarch saying it's probably nothing as the doors the [[Kingdom of Deep and Song]] hold are still there hobbling his way to Magnolia's estate in the High Passes.

Returning back to the moon, the Halfling goes back to his disassociated state until the next time he is called upon to guard the secret as the guidelines of how many chances a person may have are told. He feels that the end is coming near with what the woman had said to him but that is fine as the [[Gnomes]] told him that it could be so, thinking on those that have met with him on the moon trying to speak to him as he waits for someone who could be his match since that would indicate they were ready to discover the truth.
