Epilogue:
I, Graffeon, am called once again to the walks of men, and must for a time set aside the telling of tales. But Alanak did indeed teach Jacob the warrior’s way—raising him as his son—and the Darviss family remained a part of Jacob’s life ever after. A great many adventures passed in the years between his first victory and that day fifty years later when a young Zam Windwater walked into his family’s inn. Jacob Galwen Dorria grew to be a great warrior and a better man. He had (for a time) the ear of Cairemia’s greatest generals, battled beasts few men have faced, learned the ways of Elyon, and wed his truest love. His tale may one day be told in full, but for now I must away.
