Resting on a cliffside bookcase above several hundred empty shells of books, Nester considers what has driven him into the Tumult. Perhaps he is not being entirely honest with himself — or with us.

Also, Nester recites three poems by the 3rd Poet Consul to Yzmir, Himitsu, which provide some background on Asgartha’s history.
