Dragonstone 45

Chapter 45
This chapter starts with a Nameless Messenger riding into Pendwyr, and we spend half a page on all the things he doesn't know, like the Jute warriors lurking in the Blue Moon, "wait[ing] impatiently for the mutilators and slayers to return," and the kingsguards searching for whoever had murdered some other Jutes and left their corpses on the docks. This is McKiernan inviting us to giggle at how it looks to people who don't know what happened. It works about as well as you'd expect. \~/
We learn that our Nameless Messenger is delivering a message from High King Blaze to Lord Revor, and that he's covered twelve hundred miles in 26 days to accomplish this. He's shown in to Lord Otkins, the first understeward, who has had a busy day what with the prison break, the riot, and all the dead and injured. All thanks to Our Heroes, remember.
Otkins reads the message, wherein we learn that King Blaze has spoken with Vanidar, and he warns his steward that Arin may be coming to Pendwyr, and specifically that she may be accompanied by "a yellow warrior woman." \~/ If she does, the steward is to "let her have whatever she wants." Otkins resolves to keep an eye out for thus mysterious Elf, and goes back to bed.
