The prince drank. “Prince Aldia made his commitment without the support of the Domagavani. The other princes denied him. ‘This is not a Jaddian matter!’ they said, and so the fleet was withheld. But it is said that Aldia sent Prince Kaim and many of his own servants to the Veil of Marinus and beyond. There were davoi brought in chains to the Alcaz du Badr, to the Tower of Mirrors itself! Prince Kaim testified before the Domagavani, saying this was our fight as well! He slew one of their princes before our princes. There before the assembly!”

“I didn’t know that!” I said, and sat a little straighter. “When was this? Which prince?”

“I do not know,” Hatim said. “I have no talent for their names. But this was . . . perhaps two hundred standard years ago? It is strange to me you do not know this, of all people, my lord.”

I ticked the numbers off on my fingers. Two hundred years ago I was on trial for witchcraft before the Chantry’s Inquisition on Thermon. It was no wonder I had not heard the tale. By the time I had escaped to my imprisonment in Maddalo House, the story would have been but small news on Nessus.

Ashes of Man, Chapter 15: The Prince

Following the Sollan-Jaddian joint assault in ISD 17131 on the previously-undiscovered MINOS research facility on the planet Ganelon, Prince Kaim summons HADRIAN MARLOWE to the Jaddian flagship JNS Mnemon to reveal that he has been disguised as SIR OLORIN MILTA to participate in the war effort against the Cielcin.
