Night of the Broken Oath - Part Six - The Hill Divided

In the wake of the broken rite, Azhrath does not fall into noble battle, but into confusion, accusation, and fear. Tirukh struggles to recover command, Varaz holds the rescued hostage-boy, Lakhan begins shaping the truth among the merchants, and Sûla leads Yadâri into the old passages beneath the hill. Pallando and Alatar know the victory is incomplete, but the oath is dead, the alliance is broken, and the greater darkness has been delayed.If you enjoy Edvane Stories, please follow the podcast — a new dark fiction story every Saturday, and following helps new listeners find the show.Read it at ⁠Edvane Stories⁠Follow Jonathan B.
