Our city had tiers of power. The Ring of Gold, the Ring of Silver. 'Ring of Brass' was meant to be an insult.

Laerryn was the Architect Arcane, and she kept the city in the sky. Loquatius, her husband, was the Herald - he ran the newspaper, decided what information got out and what didn't. Patia had dual roles - Keeper of Scrolls and Archmage of the Libarium Incantatum, the library that stored all magical knowledge. Nydas was the only one, besides me, born on the ground; he was a pirate when we met, but in Avalir he became the Guildmaster of the Golden Scythe. It was the most powerful bank in the city.

Cerrit was the Senior Sightwarden of the Eyes of Avalir, detectives who didn't rely on magic as much as everyone else. He's the one you remind me of, most of the time. I think he might have gotten out, at the end, but I'm not sure.

I was First Knight, which was the highest martial position we had. Evandrin had it for two and a half years, but he died before the ring was official.

What about yours?
