Editing Dead Gods (section)

=== Volume 3 ===
Tamaroth, Emerrhain, and Laedonius Deviy appeared in Erin Solstice's inn on the Winter Solstice. Erin emptied her food storages to serve them, and Tamaroth made allusions to others who couldn't make it to the inn: ''“They are lost as we are, but do not fear. We will meet again in time. That is a certainty, and they do not fear the storm.” [...] “Do not worry. They will come in time. As for names… it would be pointless to ask. Few remember my name, let alone the others.”'' Then, they offered her three gifts in trade of her soul:
* Tamaroth offered the Umbrella made from the Sun's Light, to burn away fears and untruths among other benefits
* Emerrhain offered the Hangman's Rope, a tool to escape your enemies and live. It is implied that as long as you hang from the rope, you can survive indefinitely.
* Laedonis Deviy offered the White Horn of Friendship, to call all of her friends. Ryoka was able to hear the horn from somewhere near Riverfarm when Erin used it in Liscor, giving evidence to the claim her friends would hear it no matter where in the world they were.
Erin refused their gifts but found an ancient mithril coin after the strangers left, and dimly remembered the encounter like she would a dream.

The same night, Ryoka was also haunted by the other three of the six while she returned from her delivery run to Invrisil: Kasigna, Cauwine and Norechl. She conversed with them around a fire and one of them banished [[Ivolethe]] when the Fae attempted to counsel Ryoka against listening to them. Norechl offered her two lost fingers as a gift. Ryoka fled the fire, barely escaping them with her life. She threw her moving fingers into her campfire and also burned her scarf that had been touched and turned into something evil as well.<ref name="I4">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/12/30/interlude-4/ Interlude 4]</ref>
