Ciardis is getting to be more conniving and has apparently developed leadership. Also the star of a plan. “I’ll crisscross the lands. Re-open the old watch towers. Set mage guards at access points of great magic. Call the landed nobility to provide their strongest people. We will need to have them gather at a focal point.”

She looked him in the eye and said, “You aren’t just draining their gifts. You’re draining everyone’s. Silently, like a disease that no one knows is lurking there. It’s killing the magic in the very air.”
