Chapters 1-11 begin with Galdar, a scout for the Knights of Neraka, formerly Knights of Takhisis. After the gods left Krunn, with no vision to guide them, the knights changed their name and took to mysticism in order to share a vision. More importantly they turned from being honor based to money hungry. They were tasked by Khellendros to collect taxes from Palanthas and their strength and influence has risen tremendously.  Galdar lost his sword arm in battle and has been left as a scout with no other options. They were traveling the valley of Gamoshinoch which is believed to be haunted. A great storm swept over all of Ansalon and with it came a young girl named Mina. She healed Galadar’s arm, restoring it to existence, and this was a miracle because even the magic of Krynn itself was failing at this time.

He is discovered by the Kirath and is being taken to Silvanost to be named Speaker of the Stars. Kiran is told to allow him to be the puppet and he will rule in truth.

Gerard, a Knight of Solamnia who guards the Heroes Tomb in Solace hears someone inside the tomb, who is revealed to be Tasslehoff Burrfoot. Fizban allowed him to travel forward in time to speak at Caramon Majeres funeral, but the first time traveled too far and missed it. When he arrived in this time, it is a different Krynn timeline and the world is in the current state of terror under the rule of the Dragon Overlords. Tasslehoff tells Caramon about the previous funeral and its attendant...
