ACT II — THE GATHERING the Vael are not the last


2. Strangers in the Reeds

First contact with the Marsh Vael. Sedge unmasked; two peoples who each believed themselves alone. They fight the Ironfolk together — then Bracken sees the bone knife at Rook's belt and names the theft.


3. Old Wounds

4. The Sky Cage

Too late for the mountain — the Ironfolk already hold the one who remembers the sky. The Sky Clan is broken or besieged; Kestrel must be asked, not recruited. A rescue, not a proving.


5. The Deserter

Ash, an Ironfolk defector, confirms from the inside what the Vael only guessed — and answers how the straight-line people know what the Rings are. The Pact is tested on the enemy.


6. The Straight Scar
