G feels anger at his mom for this and not telling him but also a glimmer of happiness for the first time in a long time that maybe he has a friend. He accepts W’s plead to look over Ardee

This shit makes me so happy, poor guy has been through the absolute ringer

Late at night west goes to Glotka asking for him to watch over Ardee when he leaves for war. They had been old friends but after G came back he felt that W abandoned him. He felt like if anyone would welcome him back it would have been W but no.

W, surprised, tells G that he came to visit 3 times when G came back but was turned away by Gs mother each time. She didn’t want her son freinds with a commoner

F heals quickly, feels little pain, and sees no color. She has some old blood that makes her the perfect person to carry the seed, still unsure what that means. Bayez recruits her offering her vengeance beyond what she could do alone. She doesn’t trust him but can’t pass up
The opportunity.

At this point his head is pounding and he goes home
To find ardee writing a note to J. He is beyond pissed about her hurting his reputation and beats her. We get a lore dump about there abbusive father and how W left A alone with him after joining the army. She was so happy to get his invite but he just ignored her the beat her. W has a bit of a mental break.

Farro and Y meet with Bayez. Y and B are old friends

West is running around like a chicken with his head cut off as the only man willing to make war preparations. Passing the main gate he sees two soldiers bloodied and a women brandishing a knife. It’s farro. He deals with Yulwei and her to get them into the gate as the have papers promoting such. He then threatens the chief smithy to get the kilns making weapons again

The leave stopping at a view but G is confused because they didn’t climb any steps. On there way back across the bridge they all start to feel the worry leave them. That is until they get to the bridge and find the guard telling them they have only been gone for 30 mins when it felt like hours

He had mentioned a crew going to the tower and coming back soon. We assume they failed because of the time but maybe not

B opens it and the falls shoots up into the sky revealing a room. The room continues two items. A small metal box of that L can barely lift, and what appears to be a weapon. B tells of how the maker used it to kill many. Despite having no blade he claims the blade is in the other side and that nothing can protect from it. Kindof shard blade adjacent.

Inside the tower is massive, way larger than it appears on the outside. The floor is a map of the world, the walls shoot up into infinity with no dealing in side. They also continually move, all the coooridors look identical. B guides them yelling if someone falls out of his path. At this point G is convinced of who he is but not why he is here. J is just scared. They reach a wall with another key hole

G, B, J, and L all approach the house if the maker. There is one man guarding the outside which is a disappointment to B as there used to be 50. They cross over a thin bridge and everyone besides B feels a looming terror. It is an a chamber placed on the door in thin script that is causing it. Edginess call
It the breath of the maker. B uses his “key” to open the door which reminds me of the Skyrim claw puzzle

For one more touch of the dramatic B breaks S’s chair which sends him flying to the ground. Bayez slurps on his soup
