This is from the second of the new Paksworld books.
This entire section may not make it into the final book, because I am trying not to multiply viewpoint characters beyond absolute necessity, but I need to write it as "primary" to be sure what happens, so reports later will be consistent. Arianya, Marshal-General of Gird, is the POV character...she's headed back to Fin Panir with Paks, to take another look at that necklace Paks donated when she came for training (in Divided Allegiance.) That's the necklace Arvid gave her, that he claimed he'd found in the brigands' lair.
