It is the quartermaster's duty to dispense discipline to those who transgress against the captain.
(Wherein the Wall of Fire on the Squall-Eater is extinguished, and the fight goes rather less well for the Nein: an alternate path, and a difficult compromise.)

Summary
A fire in winter is a glimpse of life at its purest, a promise of warmth and life in the dark months. Yet it burns no less keenly, no less hungrily in the cold.
Though a winter kingdom, Eänetaì’s renowned cruelty is that of flame: a suffocating, choking devastation, a rapacious and hungry thing.
Eöté finds what she expects in the Eänetén palace. In the Eänetén duke.

Summary
A marriage of impulse; two sisters, one free and one trapped; one erstwhile prince fleeing his duty and taking refuge in his Chantry vows.

Summary
Princesses never stay dead for long.
Don’t look so surprised. That’s what’s written on the label, an alternate insult and praise for how the rocky road around her brings out the steadily-paling pink in her cheeks, the overall soft look of her. Venture through the Warden cellar, take a sip of the bitter ale labeled with the date of her joining: princess piss, it says.
Storytellers don’t make the rules. They just name what they find.

Summary
What joke starts with "An Earth girl (the Earth girl), a very-bad-Deltan boy, an Adonis Knight, a nice Alphan girl and their very put-upon very-good-Deltan history team instructor step onto the surface of Zeus"? The one where they forget to check the Betan name for the oh-so-Betan interplanetary event that comes around every twenty-five years. Things go very badly, or very well, or both at once, depending which one of them you ask.
