Set in

A lizardfolk person with pale, glassed-over eyes encounters a group called the Branch of Teresias. They discuss their purpose and mention Dhund Hal-Kah. The lizard person reveals himself as Teresias, the blind seer, and plays the trumpet. They engage in a test to find scales representing different gods. Each member of the group finds a scale that represents a specific deity or concept. They discuss their findings and Teresias shares stories about his past. Izar and Hiare find a scale with a spinning tornado, while Dorinda looks for a scale reminiscent of Lady Saharel. Teresias plays solitaire with old heraldry cards and recalls a peculiar wedding. Izar presents a scale made of food.
