Chapter 4-11

Mikael
Covering the events of returning home to Tieken, meeting Tiemoko and seeing Tevrin Umber brutally murdered by Tieken.

They journey north to Umberland to "confront" Lady Umber. But, on the way, find an illegably erected city. Tieken learns it was sanctioned by a business man named Marlow in Kanissa. They burn it to the ground and continue on their journey.

In Umberland, Tieken confronts Lady Umber who complains about the Rival syndicate ransacking her town. Tieken laughs, revealing he himself runs it. He also reveals that Tiemoko is her daughter, paralyzing Tiemoko in the pain she realized she slept with her father. Tieken nearly kills Lady Umber but she is left paralyzed.

Over the next few days, Rival's arrive and the city is seized. People are rounded up and killed. Mikael sneaks away to save his family.

When Mikael returns, he meets Andrea in the Throneroom who is waiting for Tieken for a planned meeting. Once Tieken arrives, he abandons the meeting and has Andrea drag away a dead body. Tieken invites Mikael north with him. And, alongside a handful of Oriah soldiers and Tiemoko, they set off on the train northbound.
