| While [[Seraphel du Marquin|Seraphel]] is elated by responses from [[Culin Afiele|Culin]] and [[Sasi Afiele|Sasi]], her good mood is abruptly obliterated when she receives a decoded letter from her [[Reclis du Marquin|father]], which contains news of Ovela being pushed back by an offensive from [[Ailendamus]] led by Baron Digneral. Seraphel’s father also divulges that the [Necromancer] that attacked Afiele was most likely hired by Ailendamus, shocking the [Princess] to the point of almost fainting. Filled with rage, Seraphel swears to gather support at the royal palace. Naming the major powers of Noelictus, Dalimont cites Noelictus’s parliament of nobles, the Landsreight, as mostly self-interested. He names Marquis Seelthru of Havens and Duke Fiskren as the ones who will need convincing. Aside from the King, the third power of Noelictus is the Hunter’s Guild, led by Guildmistress [[Delifec]] and Huntress [[Agshiga]] of the Deathhunt. However, Dalimont is doubtful that the Hunter’s Guild would approve Ovelian aid, as they receive a large share of the crown’s finances for slaying undead and their Hunters’ Cards.

| Seraphel’s first appearance with the Court of Dusk is at the Palace of Shadows. Redesigned after the [[Creler Wars]], the palace is completely pitch black in color, not even reflecting the moonlight. The servants wear black-and-white cloth, and are covered in spiderweb-like designs. Seraphel and her retinue are greeted by [Keeper of the Royal House] Liletrec, a seven-foot tall woman wearing a crow-like mask. Liletrec rebukes the Thronebearers’ ostentatious appearance, and notes that Seraphel seems unnerved by Noelictus’s style. The [Princess] denies it, giving her best [False Smile], but is startled when Liletrec calls her a “liar.” Directly invoking Seraphel’s epiphet of “Cursed Princess of Calanfer,” the [Keeper] claims that she will most likely have an unpleasant time at court. She departs by leaping in the air to a balcony on the second floor. Completely bewildered, Seraphel is taken to the Court of Dusk by a [Maid], though she has trouble navigating the pitch-black hallways.
