Trader’s Leap – Chapter 38

Off-Grid

In which Padi discusses her day with a friend.

Trader’s Leap – Chapter 36

Ribbon Dance Hill

In which Moonhawk and Lute go in peace.

Trader’s Leap – Chapter 5

Off-Grid

In which Tekelia vesterGranz has a lot of questions.

A few chapters ago, when I noted the Warden’s description of the Haosa as Civilization’s line of defence, I forgot to add that I suspected the Haosa would describe the relationship somewhat differently.
