You finish the song. The cradles settle. Seven small shapes rise through the ceiling of black water, toward a sky they have never seen.

The last note stays in your throat: the third key. It will take three blood from the Bellkeeper before the first exchange.

Somewhere above the lake, the east becomes a fraction less dark.

Choose your way

Carry the third key to the last fire

What you carry

I. Reed token / Wren remembered; a name can lower a sword.

II. White thread / Edrin's oath; +1 Ward damage against the Bellkeeper.

III. Last lullaby / seven sleepers freed; the Bellkeeper begins with 3 less blood.

Mercies kept: 3 of 3. Weapon: kiln-tempered notched sword.
