Murad's destruction of Baru's village. Both agreed to
continue on with Arutha.

At Stardock, Dominic and Cardan were attacked by
flying elemental creatures, servants of mermandamus, and
were saved by Pug. Dominic met the magician Kulgan
and Katala, Pug's wife, as well as William, Pug's son, and
Fantus the firedrake. Pug listened to what they reported
and asked the other magic users of Stardock for help. A
blind seer, Roger, had a vision of some dread power
behind Murmandamus, which then attacked the old man
across time and apparent probability, in defiance of all Pug
understood of magic. A mute girl, Gamina, Roger's
Ward, shared the vision, and her mental screaming
overwhelmed Pug and his companions. Roger survived
the ordeal, and Gamina used her telepathic ability to recreate
the vision for Pug and the others. They saw a city's
destruction, and the terrible thing in the vision spoke in an
ancient Tsurani tongue. Pug and the others who spoke the

In Elvandar, Arutha and his company met the gwali

Valheru - the Dragon Lords. Silverthorn grew in one
place, on the shores of the Black Lake, Alornelin, a place
of dark powers. Tatham warned Arutha that it would be a
dangerous journey, but Arutha vowed to continue.
At Stardock, Pug determined that what menaced the
Kingdom was of Tsurani origin. Somehow Kelewan and
Midkemia again seemed to have their fates intertwined.
The only possible source of knowledge about this threat
would be the Assembly of Magicians upon Kelewan,
thought to be forever closed off to them. Pug revealed to
Kulgan and the others that he had found a means of
returning to Kelewan. Over their objections, he decided to
go back to see what he might do to gain knowledge. Once
it was decided, both Meecham the forester, Kulgan's
companion for years, and Dominic forced Pug to take
them along. Pug established a rift between the two worlds
and the three passed through. Back in the Empire of
Tsuranuanni, Pug and his friends spoke first with Netoha,
Pug's old estate manager, then with Kamatsu, Lord of the
Shinzawai, Kasumi's father. The Empire was in turmoil,
