Ok, I should've been clearer, the point was it didn't need to be completely airtight to protect from airborne toxins anymore, and the good air would stay in instead of escaping. But that doesn't mean it can generate its own air. If there isn't air to filter in, he's shit out of luck, and he's...

A/N: I really planned to updated Understanding first, but since it's looking like that one won't be coming out this month, I wanted to close this month down with something. It's annoying, but oh well. Chapter 9 – The Forbearing Despoiler "-.July 12, Year 580 of the King's Calendar .-" I...

That's the thing, you'd think they'd be many, but even if they did get past the ACTUAL bandits that have to settle for the outskirts (and will never see repercussions for preying on these very people), where can they go? Dalaran only accepts mages, Strom would refuse or discriminate against them...

A/N: To everyone confused about 'Howard', you met him in 'The Seamy Truth (II)'. This three-parter is the last alternate PoV for a while. Wayland does return here to take over the story, but we'll be listening to him specifically again for a while starting in Chapter 8 - The Dark Triad, when he...

A/N: I did say it was a chase. (II) Antonidas retrieved a particular case from his safe and unlocked it with the key from his spatial pouch, revealing what looked like an amulet made of many faceted pieces of crystalline quartz glued together. The Council had supplied him with a memory stone...
