• Quartus – sailing around Avalon, the heroes tangle with Meryth again, then reach Kirk.  After a failed ambush by Vesten against Constanza, they rejoin with the Unchartered Course and head northeast, looking for the Spear of the West Wind.  The Black Freighter attacks the Unchartered Course and massacres most of its crew, carrying Melinda Gosse off.  The Maris Stella rescues the survivors and chases the Black Freighter, chased in turn by the Crimson Roger and the Revensj.  Robert de Méchant taunts Gosse and the heroes, and they have to climb the Spear, a monstrously high tower, to rescue Melinda in epic battle.  They destroy the Spear and flee to Freiburg, where they send a message to the Nibelungen.  They meet with several old acquaintances, including Wilma Probst, Didi, Allende, Cléo Bellini, Jacques Lévesque d'Aur, Thérèse Rois et Reines de Rogné, Julius Caligari, Lucius Malveck, and Gerald Höhne.  They fail to save Maggie Malone on the Island of the Fifth Switch.  Meanwhile, domestic unrest forces Montaigne to sue for peace with Castille.

The new monarchs issue a warrant for the arrest of Cardinal Verdugo and his Knight Inquisitors, but Verdugo commits suicide and the Knight Inquisitors have disappeared.

• Secundus – Lucas returns to Castille, and meets Queen Sara,  Doña Constanza, and Don Ferdinand in Vaticine City.  Everyone gets caught up on what's been going on – it's like a reunion!  Queen Sara fronts Don Ferdinand the money and warns him against future statuatory excesses.  Lucas petitions the crown for a return of his title.  He also privately requests information from Queen Sara on Bryn Bresail.  Queen Sara offers no immediate assistance, but does free Lucas from overseeing the Council of Commons so that he can spend more time searching.
