“I witness it!” came a strong voice from the front of the room, and Geth looked down to see Tariic looking back at him. The hobgoblin gave him a short smile, then stepped onto the lowest step of the dais and faced the court that had been Haruuc’s. “Let none say that we do not respect tradition. Geth who bears Aram shall hold the throne in trust until a new lhesh is chosen. It is what my uncle would have wanted.”
He turned back to Geth and bent his head, meeting Geth’s eyes as he straightened up. “I hope you know what you’re doing,” he said softly.
“I’m doing what I have to do,” said Geth. Behind Tariic, a sea of heads was nodding in respect. He glanced over at Haruuc’s body. Ashi was still kneeling beside it, staring up at him. Geth set his jaw grimly and brought the Rod of Kings protectively against his chest.

And now, one facet of the prophecies is being set in motion, and all of it revolves around Gaven, exiled from his house, thrown into prison, and in the grips of a terrible madness.
