Write-up
5,260 years before the birth of Kaladin Stormblessed, and two years following the gathering of the Radiant King Candidates, the story truly begins in Azimir. Azimir stands as the great capital of the largest silver kingdom, Makabakam. It is the biggest trading hub of Roshar. Nazir lives in Azimir, his other cultural home. He's trapped between the political desires of others and his own scholarly pursuits of fabrials. With a mind constantly tested, can he defeat his mother, the grand vizier, in a game of Towers? Luka steps out into the world beyond the Horneater Peaks, a fresh adult ready to take on whatever comes her way. But traveling alone is unwise, so who are the mysterious travelling companions she accompanies? Pako always seems to be on the back foot, with a bad foot. Is his predicament of being in an Azish prison the end to his quick tale, or is the ability to escape in sight? The dice will decide, this week on Knights of Desolation!
