Master’s Tower, Theopholis
Witch’s Hour
In which Balance is achieved.
Not the usual sort of settling of accounts one might expect at the end of an adventure story, but one which suits Priscilla’s character, and also helps demonstrate that “Balance” is not necessarily the same thing as “revenge”.
On which note, Delm Plemia clearly expects Korval and Priscilla to demand more in balance of Sav Rid’s follies than they actually do. It speaks to his melant’i that he doesn’t try to argue his way out of anything; he’s seen the evidence and he knows it’s a fair cop.
I was surprised and pleased to see that the balance swayed toward mending fences and healing. As outrageous as Sav Rid’s behavior, the idea that he could find himself again…or at least the hope of it…was an unexpected pleasure to me.
