Summary
After a prolonged absence fighting the effects of a mysterious Sound that has appeared across the ocean Azem abruptly quits the field, bringing reports far more disturbing than the Convocation had truly believed or understood. Not that they thought their Shepherd a liar or particularly prone to exaggeration, of course, but hearing his direct account, seeing his haggard exhaustion, the horrors he conjures from woven light and the brimming trauma when he speaks of his experiences, strikes each one to the core in a way hasty reports have failed to do. And so they must divine what to do about this threat, one that, it seems, is more severe than they could have imagined.
But why does Azem seem so burdened? What catalyst prompted his hasty return? And why does he oppose the brilliant idea of a grand Creation so staunchly?
