1. Warden Maera Thornwick

   “I have kept one thing from you. The wardens did not only bind a fire. They bound a man. Aldric, last king of Cindral. The one who asked.”

2. Warden Maera Thornwick

   “He wanted a crown that would never tarnish. He got it. He is in the Crypt of Kings, in the Shadowmarch, and he has not been able to take it off for three hundred years.”

3. Warden Maera Thornwick

   “His guard still walks. Break it. Then go in to him. I do not know if what you find will fight you or thank you. Be ready for both.”

1. Warden Maera Thornwick

   “The king's guard in the Shadowmarch, then Aldric himself in the Crypt of Kings. East and north, past Shadowgate.”

1. Warden Maera Thornwick

   “'End it. I could not.' Three hundred years, and that is all that was left of him. A man asking someone else to be braver.”

2. Warden Maera Thornwick

   “Six stones burn. One is left... and it stands at the mouth of the thing itself. Go and see Brannoc. Go and see everyone. Then come back to me, and we will talk about the fire.”

3. The Chronicle

   “Six of seven. In the Crypt of Kings, a crown that never tarnished lies on an empty throne, and slowly... begins to rust.”
