She suffers three miscarriages, gives birth to Cal and is found dead. Her diary is destroyed, and the healer Sara Skonos, who tries to tell the truth, is forced by Elara to cut out her own tongue. In the second, Scarlet Guard captain Diana Farley travels Norta recruiting smugglers and allies for an attack on the capital. She ignores orders to return to base and stays in Corvium.
