In the first half of Rook Part 1, we meet Yerroth and his son Nyste, as they look out over the ancient city of Perlora. The day is Retribution Day, a celebration in honor of their ancestor, a man who singlehandedly ended a tyrannical line of emperors and established a just democratic government. But, Yerroth hasn't led his son up onto the heavily-guarded Perlo Hill just to take in the air and talk politics and history. No, he's come to conduct a baptism of sorts...
