The Crippled God/Chapter 5

__NOTOC__
==Kharkanas==
There are two queens in Kharkanas, neither of whom wants to take the throne. Finally Yan Tovis persuades Sandalath Drukorlat to do so, while she goes to the First Shore. Both she and Yedan Derryg, the Watch, can see Tiste Liosan with hate on their faces, trying to break through the barrier.
==Kolanse==
In Kolanse City five Forkrul Assail Pures have ascended the Spire. At its top is an altar, encased within which is the heart of the Crippled God. Soon they intend to drain its power and use it to cleanse the world of all its people in the name of Justice. A fleet of warships is sighted in Kolanse Bay.
Errastas and Sechul Lath watch while Kilmandaros labours to free the Otataral Dragon.
The children of the Snake sense that the Crystal City is somehow stealing their souls; and anyway they have exhausted the available food. The Snake reforms and leaves the city, travelling westwards.
