Plain, with an odd sense of humor, and of no fame or noted background, Delf is content to act as Prityal’s squire on this quest. So, Delf, a lower-tier knight, accompanies her. As faith dwindles, so, too, does the number of knights waiting to serve the chevetein, and with no one else available, it is Prityal who volunteers for a risky mission to an unfamiliar place. Soft-spoken but fierce, noble as well as beautiful, Prityal is all that a Knight of the Seat should be. Only the presence of Prityal of Ters, Knight of the Seat, Tyrant-slayer, the Hope of Ainle, has kept the country from falling into chaos. Doubt has crept in among the population, and more than one arrogant cheve has decided that the time has come to abandon the old ways. But as the years pass, fewer and fewer people go to the Seat to offer themselves as chevetein. Anyone can become the chevetein if it is the will of the Three, as the most powerful of the gods are known. For ten anxious years, the country of Ainle has had no chevetein to keep their many lesser cheves in check and maintain peace.
