Mundhelm, Haergrim, Gemma and the others miss Pana and Chawinda, but have a job to do. Will they be able to get off the doomed Quzayshehir in time? Meanwhile, Viturhimin the avatar weaves the tale of the origin of the races, and how strife among the proto-elves over a high priestess' philosophy caused the Drow to be born, and the war between them and the High Elves began. We also find out what happened to Chawinda's clan after she left the underworld, just as an eavesdropper makes their presence known
