Chapter Fifty-Six: Peace for War

the Silone, on day forty-one of their southward migration, receive generous supplies from Duke Ovrin of Tek Reshu, including rams, salt, flour, potatoes, beer, whiskey, and ice, fostering goodwill during a lavish feast. At the feast, Ovrin reveals his motive: safe passage for the Silone through Reshu, Tarmar, Vardo, and Litra territories in exchange for their inevitable conflict with the Malstefne, enemies of his Ilombar Alliance, at the Dinsang Bridge or Porro-ok River. This would divert Malstefne forces, aiding Ovrin’s war strategy. Ivin, wary but pragmatic, accepts, supported by most clan-blood, though Heshiu Bulubar expresses reservations. Ivin and Meliu plan to target Vaejoen to navigate this trap. Meanwhile, Kinesee, unsettled by the Nesfereum mystery, confronts Sedut, learning the Nesfereum is a heretical cabal within the Church, worshiping Rin over Sol, seeking to overthrow the clans, and possibly targeting her due to a prophecy. Sedut, aiming to uncover the Nesfereum, urges Kinesee to report suspicious priests, deepening her unease.
