Envoy, in the ruins of the City of Hands, finds the mind mage Twilight-Wing, and asks him about the politics going on with the Twelve-times-Twelve, and whether they may be bringing trouble upon the Savan. She then goes to speak to Priest-Queen Jade-Eyes, and offers her some advice on leadership – namely, that she should seek advisors from amongst her people, and not rely wholly upon the Twelve-times-Twelve.
