~208 | Csilith, who has so far only revealed her name to Tiatan, returns to Mirith and dines with her servant as well as Irene (a disguised Istra Falvo). Csilith retires for the night; Tiatan and Irene return to the tavern to find N'eroth. N'eroth admits that, though he is now the king, he is still lonely. Highly intoxicated, the lovers depart for a tryst. Tiatan goes to the inn and, later in the night, overhears a Mirith Scout enter in search of Csilith for questioning. Csilith had anticipated the Scout, however, and fled Mirith via the sewers. | Wizard (Csilith)
