| | | Chief Warrior Merish wakes up in his tent just before his sister checks to see if he's awake. |
| === 📜 Chapter Summary ===
| |
| '''The Trauma of War''' Merish struggles to reintegrate into normal life with his sister, '''Khaze''', and her children, '''Sveha''' and '''Ikl'''. He is haunted by nightmares of the "Death of Magic" (Silvenia) and the horrors he witnessed at the 5th Wall in Rhir. He is accompanied by his friend and fellow war survivor, '''Viri''', a Lizardperson [Longstick Jumper] and amputee who also suffers from nightmares.
| |
| | |
| '''The Incident''' While gathering magical plants with his family, a sudden display of magical fireworks triggers a flashback for Merish. Believing he is under attack, he panics and accidentally injures his niece, Sveha, and scares his family. Consumed by guilt and depression, he withdraws into his tent.
| |
| | |
| '''The Chieftain's Intervention''' Merish is visited at night by '''Chieftain Xherw''', the leader of the Plain's Eye Tribe. Xherw offers wisdom about the fading of old legends and provides a magical morale boost through his touch, helping Merish regain his composure and energy.
| |
| | |
| '''Reconnecting''' Feeling better, Merish reconnects with his tribe. He visits his childhood friend '''Yelroan''', an eccentric [Mathematician] who uses math to manage the tribe's resources and wears glasses purely for style. They attend the festival games and the "Great Plains Sing," a communal event where thousands of Gnolls sing songs of their history, helping Merish feel a sense of belonging again.
| |
| | |
| '''The Arrival of Monsters''' The chapter ends with a shift in tone as the '''Raskghar''' (monstrous, feral Gnoll-kin) are brought into the camp as prisoners by the city of Pallass. Their presence causes outrage and fear. To maintain order and show strength, the greatest leaders of the Gnoll tribes emerge, including the giant '''Garsine Wallbreaker''', the metal-skinned '''Adetr Steelfur''', and a massive '''Earth Elemental''' from the Gaarh Marsh tribe.

| === ❤️ Romance and Sex Relationships ===
| |
| There is '''no sexual content''' and virtually '''no romance''' in this text. The relationships depicted are primarily familial, platonic, or professional.
| |
| | |
| * '''Khaze & Inir:''' Khaze is married to Inir. They are seen together at the singing ceremony, but their interaction is background and purely domestic.
| |
| * '''Ghamen's Sister & Lehra Ruinstrider:''' A minor character, Ghamen, mentions a rumor that his sister "kissed Lehra Ruinstrider," a famous Gnoll adventurer. This is presented as a passing comment/brag rather than a developed romantic plotline.
| |
| * '''Merish & His Family:''' The core emotional bonds are between Merish, his sister Khaze, and her children. These are strictly familial.
| |
| * '''Merish & Viri:''' They share a deep bond of friendship and shared trauma as war veterans, but it is platonic.
