Bab 81: A Son's Note to His Mother

As chaos ends, restoration begins. And so Vel'Asha got to work, organizing the response to the Flameheart City disaster. 

The covenant had ended, broken by the Uriah line's destruction. Vel'Asha no longer had anything binding her to the Blood-Smelting Kingdom and should by law return to the Higher Planes. But she couldn't abandon the citizen she'd watched over for centuries, especially not to such tragic conditions. 

There was also the issue of succession, for with the male line extinct, the Blood-Smelting Throne had no heir. Mithras didn't count, for while he was no doubt the son of the Fylkir, he didn't belong to the Uriah line, having inherited the blood of Odoacer's true body. 

Still, Mithras was the only man left with Fylkir blood in his veins. A second-generation Fylkir at that, making him integral to the royal family's future.
