In month 6 of Turn 32, Lady Ienavi of Nabol made a plea of Aishani of High Reaches: rescue me. Pregnant, with proof her child was to be named heir, her husband now slipped into a coma, her witness abruptly deceased, she asked to be hid. Ustelan's death was announced a sevenday or so latter, as rumours began to spread of Ienavi's flight, her child, and her child's supposed inheritance.
With no heir acknowledged by the Holders' Conclave, Ustelan's sons and grandsons are agitating; someone will have to win out, but who?
On Day 28, Month 6 of Turn 33, just short of a full turn after Ustelan's death, the Holder Conclave meet and make a decision that, to many, may come from out of nowhere: they name Tevrane, Ustelan's eldest child by his third wife and first Lady Holder, Lady Nabol.

|

- Riders begin to carry Ienavi around to various holds, evidently seeking audience with their Lords (and Ladies).
|
| Winter, Turn 32-33
|
- Rone's conscripts largely live in a camp throughout the winter, hemmed in by bad weather and with few supplies.
|
| Month 2, Turn 33
|
- Day 22: Iesaryth and Vhaeryth's clutch hatches, with a number of Nabolese refugees Impressing. Both Ienavi and Rone show up to the hatching and seek to be treated as dignitaries; both are refused, though the Weyr seems warmer and more personal in dealings with Ienavi.
- One of the hatchlings seeks out a boy in the stands - Rhey, one of Rone's guards. When spotted, Rone accuses him publicly of theft and later demands of the Weyrleaders that he be turned over. They refuse.

| Month 4, Turn 33
|
- Day 4: Riders are called in to urgently help evacuate holders from a minor hold not too far from the winter camp of Rone's army. They report movement from the no-longer-trapped-by-winter soldiers, and seem fearful of what might happen.

|
- Mid-Month: High Reaches riders are put into service assisting Nabolese holders in replanting and rebuilding. Exactly where the seed comes from is unexplained, though it comes via Ienavi.
