Little does Killian know that Emily has some radical ideas.

The thorns are razor sharp and regrow as fast as the soldiers can cut them down. Worse still, they grow at a terrible rate and contract around Daas' troops, shredding flesh and trapping limbs. King Yinen of Daas dispatches the hero, Corfus and his sword Fire-singer. Corfus arrives in time to torch the entire Thorn wall, part the flames and allow the troops to escape. Both Kings are furious at their son's escalation's and dispatch envoys to drag the Prince's back home. Arch Vizier MonHep seeks immortality in Kethria. King Krastus becomes MonHep's puppet.

1666	The long fighting between Daas and Kane comes to an end. King William of Kane learns of his sons treachery in burning the grove and stops the war.
