  • Zandalor connects the larger story. The wizard explains why the protagonist matters to Rivellon.
  • Aleroth’s healers have distinct problems. Mardaneus, Lanilor and Joram are separate contacts with different functions in the opening.
  • Rivellon’s authorities are part of the mystery. Figures such as Janus and the forces around the Black Ring shape the later plot.
