13 – 15 Nov
Truth of Honor
The four winds have turned.
Khor’khan, Father of the Mountains and Grudge Lord of the Night Blades, is dying. For the first time in a generation the three great families of Rokar — the Frozen Foots, the Salt Rocks, and the WhiteHawks — have been summoned to the high peaks.
There will be no quiet succession.
The next Khan will be chosen the only way the Night Blades know: by trial.
Representatives of each family, along with those who would claim the throne, must endure the Trials of the Four Winds once more — Death, Honor, Truth, and Life. Blood will be spilled. Grudges will be settled or deepened. Old ghosts may walk among the living.
But the mountains have grown quiet in ways they should not.
Warriors vanish without a cry.
Bodies are found empty of memory, as if their final thoughts were stolen before the killing blow.
Something moves in the white silence beyond the ridge and it leaves no grudge to record. The peaks are waiting,The wind is watching. Only one will sit upon the Throne of Skulls when the storms finally clear.
