Summary
When the Old Vessel dies and the world goes dark, the betting begins within an hour. People meet in the markets, meet in the taverns, meet on doorsteps as they hang out their lanterns, and wager on when the sun will rise again. It could be tomorrow. It could be a fortnight from now. The Old Vessel has fourteen living progeny, most of them daughters, and no one is sure who the Ascendant will be. Mystics set up in the markets, and bookies set up in the taverns, and whispers carry from doorstep to doorstep across the land under the cover of darkness. Everyone has their theories. Everyone has their hopes.
Khaotung was born to raise the sun. First was born to raise up Khaotung.
