  1. Summary

    A series of stories about Ponclast.

    pontifex (n.)

    member of the supreme college of priests in ancient Rome, 1570s, from Latin pontifex "high priest, chief of the priests," probably from pont-, stem of pons "bridge" (see pons) + -fex "maker," from facere "to do, make" (from PIE root *dhe- "to set, put"). If so, the word originally meant "bridge-maker," or "path-maker." (https://www.etymonline.com/word/pontifex)

    iconoclast (n.)

    "breaker or destroyer of images," 1590s, from French iconoclaste and directly from Medieval Latin iconoclastes, from Late Greek eikonoklastes, from eikon (genitive eikonos) "image" + klastes "breaker," from klas- past tense stem of klan "to break" (see clastic).

    Summary

    Following a dramatic breakdown of the peaceful atmosphere of Shaa Lemul, Ponclast and Abrimel are brought back to the earthly realm. Deprived of the artificial serenity on which he had come to rely, Ponclast attempts suicide and is hospitalized in a luxury Gelaming facility. An expert care team oversees rehabilitation, lead by Sulh healers Gesaril and Jassenah, who share a fraught history with each other. Wraeththu leaders with their own dark pasts become invested in the project. Can even Ponclast, the living symbol of ultimate evil, be redeemed and healed?

    This work in progress takes place after the events of the two main trilogies and the Sulh sequence, so there are potential spoilers for everything.
