| === 📜 Synopsis of Chapter 8.32 ===
| |
| The chapter begins by establishing the wider impact of the Djinni '''Czautha, the Death of Chains'''' attack on Chandrar and the liberation of [Slaves], including '''Pisces Jealnet'''. The news is spreading quickly and causes disruption for Roshal.
| |
|
| |
| The main narrative shifts to the Land of the Dead, following the newly deceased Garuda [Pickpocket], '''Cawe'''.
| |
|
| |
| * '''The Dead Gather:''' Cawe realizes she is a ghost, devoid of sensation, and soon encounters other newly deceased, including her former captors, the [Slave Master] '''Igheriz''', and '''Hrome'''. They are surprised that Czautha, the Death of Chains, killed Igheriz and freed Azam.
| |
| * '''The Gathering of Khelt:''' Cawe and the others are discovered by a retinue of powerful, ancient ghosts led by the Giant '''Donbaaar''' and '''Queen Merindue'''. These ghosts are gathering all the dead souls of Chandrar to the palace of '''Khelt'''.
| |
| * '''News of the Living:''' The ghosts are searching for new information, especially about the six apocalyptic threats plaguing the world. Cawe mentions she knows '''Pisces Jealnet''' of the Horns of Hammerad. This immediately garners the attention of the most important ghosts, including the legendary first ruler of Nerrhavia's Fallen, '''Nerrhavia'''.
| |
| * '''Meeting Erin Solstice:''' Cawe is rushed to the center of the gathering where the most powerful ghosts of Chandrar—rulers, [Sages], [Witches]—have congregated around the still-dead body of '''Erin Solstice'''. Erin, who has been using her powers as a ghost/spirit to communicate and even conjure food, listens to Cawe's story.
| |
| * '''The Emotional Toll:''' Hearing about Pisces's torture and the subsequent slave revolt initially spurs Erin's anger, but then her grief breaks through. She realizes she has been dead for months and desperately longs to return to life to greet her friends, especially Pisces, when he eventually finds the inn.
| |
| * '''Roshal's Attempt:''' The ghosts of Roshal's [Slave Masters] attempt to argue their case and offer knowledge to Erin, but she refuses to speak to them after hearing about Pisces's abuse. The rulers of Khelt, led by '''Queen Khelta''', expel the Roshal ghosts with a gust of magic sand.
| |
| * '''Other Dead Realms:''' In parallel, the chapter shows that the dead of '''Terandria''' are also gathered in enclaves, using magical relics that persist in the dead lands (like the '''Bow of Avel''') to fight off the six threats. A Dragonlord, '''Xarkouth''', arrives in the Terandrian dead lands with news from Chandrar.
| |
| * '''The Demon's Deaths:''' Czautha, the Death of Chains, and her companion, the half-Elf '''Silvenia, the Death of Magic''', are also shown in the air, wounded but triumphant. They fly over Roshal's capital, Lailight Scintillation, to defy the slavers, and make plans to travel north to the only safe place they know: '''Rhir''', to meet the Demon King.
| |
|
| |
| The chapter concludes with Erin's grief and renewed resolve, the growing war among the dead, and the momentous journey of the freed Djinni.
