| Ilvriss discussed body disposal with Zevara, and looked at the result of the battle at the Blood Fields. He had Osthia disguise herself and pretend to his aide under the name Asrira Shieldscale. Ilvriss to leave Liscor and was negotiating with Pallass for passage. When Numbtongue entered the city, Ilvriss acknowledged him as a person.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/26/6-02/ Chapter 6.02]</ref>As a debt towards the Goblins, Erin asked him to sign a document that gives Numbtongue rights as a person. He invited her to visit the other Walled Cities.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/30/6-03/ Chapter 6.03]</ref>

He encounters Olesm at the [Scribe]'s shop. They discuss various topics like Olesm's magazine, the smithing trade, strengthening Drake armies, and securing en envelope's contents. He had no objections to his piece on Goblins in the magazine's analysis of the Siege of Liscor. Ilvriss answered the Assembly of Crafts' pettiness in refusing him entry by having Erin go after them.

Ilvriss and Osthia then talked in private about Az'kerash. He had asked her to trace the origin of Regrika Blackpaw, the disappearances of people of note in cities she visited, the cities that 'Perril Chandler' visited, and important Drakes present in those cities at the time. He decided to hide the fact that Az'kerash is alive from all but a select few until the time was right. They and his retinue speculate on Az'kerash's level and talk about what caliber of people would be needed to kill him and his [[Chosen]]. Ilvriss made a list of people to ally with, people to investigate, and artifacts to obtain to defeat The Necromancer.

He then went to Erin to quietly have an anchor placed on the magic door. He slipped through to quickly make contact with a Salazsar operative in Pallass, at a village close to the city. He arranged for ten horses to be provided, then returned to the inn. Ilvriss gave Erin his ring for her friendship and hospitality, and left Liscor three days later with his retinue, months after he had arrived. He returned to Salazsar one day after that. Erin swore to give it back to him when they saw each other again.<ref name=":6.11" />

Back home, Ilvriss met with his administrator, [[Alrric Kerrfa|Alrric]]. He commented on Alrric's black eye and reviewed his holdings. He then met with his friend, Wall Lord Brilm. Brilm showed him a song-crystal recording of the [[Cara O'Sullivan|Singer of Terandrian]]. They discussed Liscor's election, and Ilvriss suggested that Liscor is a place worth visiting.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/20/6-32/ Chapter 6.32]</ref>

There were several rumours surrounding Ilvriss in Salaszar about his extended stay in Liscor. He had a visit from his old friend Wall Lord [[Tasilt]] while he was having a Wardmistress sweep his estates for spying spells. It was the second mage he'd had inspect his home. He was later visited by his father, [[Zail Gemscale|Zail]]. Zail asked him about his missing ring.

Ilvriss had researched Az'kerash's history on Terandria, and ascertained that there are highly-placed traitors within Drake society. He tested Osthia with a Diadem of Inner Thoughts, to make sure she was trustworthy. She then tested him in turn. They plan to discover his agent and arrange for them to have accidents befall them, just as The Necromancer had been doing to Drakes. He made Osthia the head of the secret force he planned to build, under the pretence that it will be made to fight the Antinium. He also assigned her to be his bodyguard. Ilvriss decided to hire one of Salazsar's Named Adventurers, [[Tessa|Shriekscale]].

He was lastly visited by his sister [[Navine Gemscale|Navine]], who also came to ask him about his ring. She pestered him to visit their mother, [[Helessia Gemscale|Helessia]]. He told them about his plan to form a counter-Antinium force. He promised he would visit Periss' cenotaph later that week, and visited her family.<ref name=":6" />
