Started, Jimmy managed to foil Jack's attempt at killing
Arutha by wiggling forward and kicking Jack. They both
fell, but were saved by Pug's magic. But after he had been
cut loose, Jimmy discovered jack's crossbow 'bolt had
struck Anita.
After examining the wounded Anita, Father Nathan, in
conference with Father Tully, announced that the bolt had
been poisoned and the Princess was dying. Jack was
questioned and revealed the truth behind the Nighthawks.
He had been saved from death by a strange power named
Murmandamus, in return for attempting to kill Arutha.
All he knew of the poison was that it was called
Silverthorn. With that he died. As Anita neared death,
Kulgan the magician remembered that a large library
existed at the ishapian abbey at Sarth, a town up the coaSt
of the Bitter Sea. Pug and Father Nathan used their magic
tO suspend Anita in time until a cure could be found.
Arutha vowed to travel to Sarth, and after an elaborate

moredhel were repulsed by the magic of Brother Dominic,
an Ishapian monk. The agents of Murmandamus attacked
twice more at the Abbey, almost bringing about the death
of Brother Micah, revealed to be the former Duke of
Krondor, Lord Dulanic. Father John, the Abbot, explained
to Arutha that there waS a prophecy regarding the
return to power of the moredhel, once the 'Lord of the
West' was dead. One of Murmandamus's agents had
called Arutha that, so it seemed the moredhel believed that
the prophecy might be approaching fruition. At Sarth,
Arutha also discovered that "Silverthorn' was a corruption
Of an elver word, so he decided to journey on to Elvandar
and the court of the Elf Queen. Cardan and Dominic
were ordered by Arutha and the Abbot to travel to
Stardock, to carry the latest news to Pug and the other
magicians there.
In Ylith, they encountered Roald, a mercenary and
boyhood friend of Laurie, and baru, a Hadati hillman
from northern Yabon. who was seeking the strange
moredhel ' chieftain, called Murad, wishing to avenge
