On the Final Day of Second Moon, in the Fifth Year after the Fifteenth Raid after the Wall.    People can enter your life in unexpected ways.  I would never have expected Ellie, Fireeye, to become so important a companion, or to share such an adventure with him before the night he saved me and my father outside of the Wall.  In the same way, I would never have expected to find a friend in Tamara that cold night I met her in the slavers’ wagon.      While I found my respect for her growing the days I spent in the Rebels’ lair, our relationship truly began the day after our companions left, when I woke up to find her kneeling bes

1. Origin: Most people born within the Wall know large portions of this tale, though some details are forgotten by the youngest generation.    Old legend tells of a Dragon, which created the world.  The Dragon placed his people near the mountains, where they would flourish for ten centuries.  He warned them that their would be two great Tragedies, the Calamity, and the End, but they could delay these through strength of arms.  He then created his nest, and there he died.  The people did not heed the Dragon, and the Calamity came.

From the hand of Gamesh: Honorable Mother,    It is my fervent wish that Savasa speed this letter to your hand, as tragedy will strike every day until you read my words.  We have been treated as fools by the northerners, and perhaps we are.  It is imperative that you order our men to resist capture, no matter the cost, for I assure you, no death on the battlefield can be worse than that which awaits a man taken slave by the Batar.    There is intrigue and treachery in the north, such that I could not have fathomed, and though I dare not write anything that could aid our enemies should this letter be intercepted, I would happily proclaim t
