The Hall of Kings
Four powers hold the known world. None of them made it. The library keeps their banners in separate alcoves, which is more courtesy than the world manages.
the west · humanity
The Iron Covenant
“We do not kneel.”
the north · beings of light
The Luminous Choir
“What is incorrect will be corrected.”
the south · what came through
The Crimson Pact
“Hunger is the only honesty.”
the east · the preserved
The Hollow Court
“We have time.”
The Unnamed
Statues stand veiled until their names enter the public record. The library is patient.
- The Kings of the West
- their names are kept by their kingdoms
- The Seats of the East
- they rule in masks; the masks are not named
- The Warlock-Lords
- each believes the South is his
- The Soulhunter
- the one name the East has spoken aloud
