Great Burning : 51 - The End

Now we have come to the end of the story of Klane Kalonia and the Great Burning. It ends with a new beginning, for, as you have just heard, it is at one and the same time also the story of how Aberstone was born from the ashes of Ironhope. In later years, Aberstone would be proud to declare itself the oldest of the seven Foundation Cities and proud to declare too, that it was the famous Klane Kalonia who was their very own founding father.
What of the fate of Klane Kalonia, himself? Do not ask. Let us leave him in the peace and sweetness of his reunion with Lucalle for a little while at least. He deserves that much, for dark times and sorrow lie ahead when the call of destiny comes once again, as you shall hear if you attend to the later legends of Klane Kalonia. But those stories will keep for another time, and perhaps another teller.
