    Summary

    "My followers were yours, and you've had more before that. You know how to lead, and we're the only two that could do it indefinitely. I've already been benefiting from your guidance up until this point, and I still could."
    The flock just keeps growing. I can care for it on a large scale, but it's more feasible to stay on top of things on a more, I guess… relational level if there's more than just one person at the head," they explain with a nod, seeming satisfied with themself. And oddly, it's their forthright manner here that's throwing him off guard, more than anything.
    Through the crown, he had listened in on their sermons. They were a talented preacher, sometimes fearsome and sometimes loving, always grandiose. He'd drunk deep of the devotion their fervor inspired, and of their own fidelity to the gospel in their hand, penned carefully in his name. Their own worship.
    And now, they spoke to him as if they were haggling with one of the vendors on the outskirts. Like that poorly disguised cannibal who sold them fish.
    "So, I think it'd be a logical course of action if we just get married, and lead together," they finish, nodding again.

    Summary

    Something goes wrong. The crown is split during Narinder's defeat, splitting the power between him and the Lamb.

    Narinder keeps a portion of his godhood, and the Lamb finds that abilities they had access to before are no longer possible: Healing is cut short. Powers are halved. And there is a very real chance of permadeath, as the ability to resurrect is not possible without full power, and the God of Death is not cooperative.
    Afterlife and Purgatory are not options either. Dying means erasure. Gone.

    Lambert knows Narinder grows stronger by the day, crown or not, and yet keeps him spared as they try to figure out how to complete their own goals. Narinder vows vengeance on the lamb for usurping him. After a few unsuccessful murder attempts, he's in for the long haul. It is only a matter of time before the Lamb's guard is down before he can strike, and The One Who Waits is very patient. When a mystic being demands they save the bishops from purgatory, an alliance is in order.

    Except...the lamb's actions and their presence begin to unlock abilities within the God of Death he didn't know he had prior to his imprisonment, among other fickle things, like emotions. The prophecy didn't warn him of that part.

    Summary

    Nott and Caleb – no, Veth and Bren, apparently, good gods – are the only ones who remain still, watching each other. After a moment, Nott’s lip twitches into a half-smile. It’s not amusement, there; it’s recognition.

    In a moment of complete hysteria, Fjord is reminded of nothing so much as the very day they all met, of watching the pair of them con Jester into buying that ‘magic’ clay bowl of theirs. One hell of a trick, he thinks through the numbness of his own shock.

    Summary

    When the Mighty Nein parted ways, they left an important enemy alive, so he might stand trial.

    The road to conviction is a long one, fraught with pain, judgment, and the terrifying reality of trying to convince the world to take the word of an assassin-turned-mercenary over one of its most prolific propagandists.

    All rise for the trial of Trent Ikithon, former Archmage of Civil Influence.
