Was it just a coincidence that his ancestor, Dalia Silver, had founded a kingdom in the very region where Aglain had committed his famous betrayal? According to the history books, it was here that Saint Limnin had rallied humanity into investing everything into one final push against the Inverted forces, and according to Mr. Herst it was here that Aglain had refused to partake in history's greatest genocide. This used to be an area mostly inhabited by the Drunaeda, with nearly all of its former inhabitants dying at that time.
What had really happened back then, and how did it relate to the man in the cave? After what Alistar had witnessed—the inexplicable immunity to death, the powerful magics that had been at play both within and around that mysterious mound of earth, the famous names that had been spoken with genuine familiarity—could he really just dismiss this unwitting discovery as inconsequential and move on with his life as if nothing had happened?
