Consolatio

Consolatio is the fourth stage to a lament as taught by the witches Milda and Zemyna of the Kestrel Mountains during the 13th century. It is the consolation stage and lies after comploratio, otherwise known as the mourning stage, and before exhortatio, the moral admonishment stage that ends the lament. The witches considered a lament left broken or unfinished to possibly lead to tragedy and strongly encouraged participants to see through the process.
After several weeks of being stuck in her lament, the warrior Bandura broke through consolatio by admitting to her group the sense of superiority she felt in her past life as a sworn killer, as opposed to the lies she told herself of committing these acts simply following orders.
