EoS Chapter 30

Chapter Thirty: Breaking Bones

Eliles skips Night of Bones preparations to spy on Ivin from Istinjoln’s northern wall, watching him whittle until Modan’s wardens arrive, departing with Pikarn. Ilpen enters with Solineus and Lelishen, startling Eliles, who senses Lelishen’s Trelelunin nature with feral magic, panicking and fleeing to the tunnels. At the Hall of Bontore, Meris names Eliles “Priestess of Sol’s Fire” of Istinjoln, tying her to Ulrikt’s service, crushing her escape hopes. During Ulrikt’s divination, an exploding bone kills him and injures Meris, sparking chaos. Dareun urges Eliles to hide, suspecting her, and she seeks safety in Etinbin’s shrine amid panic. Dareun aids Meris, pondering the assassination’s precision, when priests attack him, suspecting his role, leaving him bound and struck unconscious as the hall empties.
