Chapter Thirteen: The Mean of a Gentleman edit

Aboard the *Soaring Falcon*, Poleen Juvukis reveals the cigar box’s donu-honêsh to Sandorelê and Isidorus, who fear its deadly implications. Sandorelê suspects Humeric tû Yulêz and Yugorô tû Kolimar, pirate lords possibly tied to the Compunêu Trade Consortium, targeted Ezeldu deliberately, though her motive remains unclear. Examining the box yields no hidden secrets, prompting a plan to sell it to Nicôdî tû Dêidontâ, the Butcher of Hudêd. In Aprelêu’s Warlords District, Poleen meets Nicôdî, a bandaged sorcerer who knows her true identity and Ezeldu’s recent guilty verdict. He offers gems worth double Montêusarâ Moltôlboc’s bid for the indilus roots, seeking to send a bloody message to his enemies. Poleen, desperate to save Ezeldu, agrees, tasked with gathering “parchment” for his revenge, her resolve tested by the moral cost of dealing with a dangerous man.
