After Queen Zarala's death, Savara is crowned Queen and selects Tyvara as her assistant. She then leads the Traitors to war against the Ashaki and the monarch. Along the way to Arvice, she meets up with Sonea and Regin who are there on behalf of the Guild. She offers them knowledge on stone making in exchange for Healing knowledge. After the negotiations, she tells Sonea to return to the Fort so that they aren't in the way. However, once she realises they disobeyed her, she tells them to stay at a nearby estate. Once the Traitors win the war, and Amakira kills himself, Savara elects herself Queen of Sachaka. She wants to keep Tyvara as her assistant, and offers Lorkin high status due to his abilities. Later she gives Tyvara the role of ambassador to Kyralia. |
