We summon Svyanta. During the interim, Bea signs the last of the souls she needs while Riven searches the Palace Library for a tome of understanding, but is unable to locate it. Svyanta takes the sword and negotiates for an hour with Gorachenya's "Old Spirits" – about the Terruks, about Yurivich, and about what comes next.
We agree to stick around and provide aid to their wounded and to attend a briefing the next day.
