Chapter 2



Hey, there! Welcome to the city of the dead. DonТt mind those
guys staring.

Ghosts donТt see a lot of strangers, at least of a friendly
persuasion. YouТre

right. They do look hungry. That happens during these siege
things.

Try not to look too much like a lamb roast.

Think thatТs a joke? Stay away from the Nar.

Welcome to Dejagore, what the Taglians call this deathtrap. The
teeny brown

Shadowlanders the Black Company grabbed it from call it
Stormgard. People who

actually live here always called it Jaicur even when that was a
crime. And who

knows what the Nyueng Bao call it. And who cares, eh? They arenТt
talking and

they arenТt part of the equation anyway.

ThatТs one of them. That rascal there, no meat on him and a skull
face.

Everybody around here is some shade of brown but theirs is
different. It has a

grey cast to it. Almost deathly. You wonТt mistake a Nyueng Bao for
anything

else.

Their eyes are like polished coal no fire will ever warm.
