Newest Chapter: 8 - "Promises and Negotiations." This is the story of the events of the Feast of Reuniting.

I'd like to thank the writers of the Lizard Council, including IgnobleBard, Elfscribe, Erulisse, Russandol, Hallbera, Lilithlessfair, Surgical Steel, and particularly Pandemonium. Also, want to thank Spiced Wine for her ongoing support of this story.
