\u201cThe Guild emerged out of the ruins of the Old Empire, when its last vestiges were swept away in fire and fear.\u00a0 But there were still some who sought to hold to their posts, to wrest some form of sanity out of the chaos of those times, which we now call the Anarchy\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe\u00a0 island of Emer,\u201d Malian murmured, knowing that this foothold in the Argent had been the dukedom once, during the troubled centuries that followed the Cataclysm, when war had surged back and forward across what was now Emer. Control of the island with its command over the river and surrounding countryside had been one of the great prizes, but the Black Tower was an Old Empire structure and had never fallen, in part because of foundations dug too deep into rock to be undermined\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Raven continued to study the flames. \u201cThe name means \u2018lord of the hawk\u2019 in the Old Empire\u2019s northern dialect, just as Jaransor was once J\u2019ara Ensor, the hills of the hawk. A Hill chieftain first called me Raven, which was both chance and irony, since it resembled Ravirien.\u201d His grin, directed at the fire, was wry. \u201cI still answer to it most days.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
