The lullaby stops. Seven cradles wait for you to tell them how long a child should have to sleep.

Choose the line that lets the night end. Bind them to another vigil and their grief will cost you two blood.

"Hush, little reed, let the dark river run. Sleep while the stars keep the place of the sun. No king can wake you, no oath make you stay. Rest only until night gives birth to the day..."

Choose your way

Sing: until the morning

Sing: for ever and ever

Sing: until the king returns

Let the song end / bind the voices instead

What you carry

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

II. Iron spur / Edrin's strength; +1 might.

Mercies kept: 1 of 3. Weapon: kiln-tempered burial knife.
