Current Issues

edit
  • The Oracle's remaining predictions are:
    • Belkar will not get too old?![1] He'll die within a year![2]
    • The story will have a happy ending for Elan.[3]
  • The last gate is to be checked out – O-Chul and Lien already went to Kraagor's Gate in the North.[4]
  • Roy was dead; his archon is doing something for him when he's gone?[5]
  • Favours from Shojo: Miko has lost her purse containing a message from Durkon's dwarven homeland. (Durkon had written a letter to be sent to the High Priest of Thor, asking to be allowed to return and see his grandparents; the former High Priest died and the new one would allow him to come home, but the Creature in the Darkness ate the letter. His grandfather is already dead.)[6]
  • Xykon will be defeated within seven weeks from the end of Don't Split the Party.[7]
  • The Linear Guild are actually the pawns of the IIFC.[8]
  • There are nine sides to this conflict, one of which will become known in the fifth book.

Xykon's Party

edit
  • Xykon

  • Right-Eye — Redcloak's brother, killed by Redcloak.
  • Jirix — Has control over Azure City for now.
