Summary
Seth Domade had many good qualities. He was human and, as such, could traverse Rexxentrum with ease. He had some unremarkable magical capabilities, so it was not odd that he might, say, use Comprehend Languages to read a book or cast Prestidigitation to clean the muck from his boots.
Seth Domade, however, was not a powerful wizard. He did not wield spells that could disrupt the gravity of an entire street or send his attackers flying into a wall. Seth Domade was a quiet, unassuming man. He spent most of his days editing volumes in the Cobalt Soul’s library, and he looked the part.
Around the time the silence manacles clapped around his wrists, Essek realized he should have dropped the facade of Seth Domade earlier.Series

Summary
“Ah, dove,” said the umavi, using the Old Drow word for dove that also meant dear, also meant, less flatteringly, game pigeon. As a child, Essek had found the very existence of a word for a surface bird in Old Drow amusing, perplexing, until Deirta had informed him that in her youth the high houses had reared doves by hand in the Underdark, and fed them to their matriarchs. “What is to be done about you?”
-Essek has always been hungry. It is fitting then, that hungry is how he will die.

Summary
The Vigil bells are still tolling, calling the monks to the nightly orations. In his bed, Caleb is still adrift between sleep and wake, not sure if he is dreaming the gentle fingers combing his hair in absent-minded strokes, their owner absorbed in his reading.

Summary
Essek wakes one day to find a man he hardly recognises in his bed. One who answers to Bren and flinches from the sight of him. One who has no recollection of him or their friends.
Seperated by more than distance, Caleb wakes trapped in a cold tower. His parents are still alive and that should be a blessing but none of his friends remember him, especially the Shadowhand who may be his only hope of returning home.
e.g Caleb and Essek learn to love every version of each other and of themselves

Summary
Essek's trips to the Empire leave him itching to blow off some steam, and he happens to find a very convenient way to do that in the form of a, shall we say, side hustle. No mess, no fuss, and everyone gets what they want.
Caleb needs to blow off a little steam too, or at least his friends think so. They arrange for a bit of companionship for him for the evening. Neither of them is at all what the other expected.
(Set during the two-week break in Zadash post-Iron Shepards arc.)
