Timeline Summary

Ánië, Mortimer, and Karina arrive in the Ibadian town of Drafar to look into newly discovered ruins. Karina reminds Ánië they met at a Banivian Historical Society seminar in early 2323 (before travel to Earth was closed off), and Mortimer mentions meeting Ánië at some underground ruins in Svaldon. The Nameless are brought up, and Ánië asks Mortimer if he knows about the everyman, which he doesn't. They sleep in Karina's tent.

Ánië, Mortimer, and Karina head out to the ruins in the morning. They find script in an ancient, pre-Cataclysm Ibadian dialect. They explore for a while and find an underground lake, with a sign calling it the Jewel of the Desert. The air feels greasy as they get deeper, which they believe is magical in nature. They find a dias with three figurines on it. They remind Ánië of the tale of an ancient Ibadian cult worshiping the Laughing Warrior. The group then finds three teenagers defacing the ruins. They argue and leave. Mortimer quarrels with the Dark Lady, and Ánië tries to kill him if he won't close the link with her in his head. The Dark Lady mentions that one of the other figurines, the Wandering Prince, was the everyman in ancient times. Mortimer refuses to fight Ánië to the death, and leaves her.
