    Summary

    Narinder had once loved his siblings and yet they had betrayed him, had chained him, had abandoned him. Then he had put his faith in the Lamb, believing they would free him at last, and again he was betrayed. Perhaps these were just the consequences of his own actions, but even so, now he is enslaved, made mortal, and he must find a way to live when all he has ever known is death.

    Summary

    Prophecy is a fickle thing; any deity worthy of their title and power should know this.

    Trusting to blindly in prophecy is a fool’s errand.

    Yet attempting to outrun prophecy often brings one straight to it.

    When a deity rests, unlike mortals, they do not dream. No. They prophesize. Visions of the past, visions of the future, or nothing at all.

    It was most common for a god to simply see nothing while resting.

    Out of the five bishops of the old faith it was Shamura was the most likely to receive these prophecies. Many trusted in Shamura’s words, they foresaw each and every one of his siblings, they prophesied the formation of the old faith, they raised each and every bishop of the old faith.

    So, when Shamura voiced concerned about a prophecy they foresaw, the five bishops agreed to gathered at the temple within the silk cradle.

    Summary

    I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
    I want to learn to rope and to ride
    I want to ride o'er the plains and the desert
    Out west of the great divide

     

    The infamous Lamb, Marshal Hamal, is short on cash when they roll back into the bustling river port of Ecumene. Luckily one of the city's strangest and wealthiest families, the Bishops, offers them the job of a lifetime. All they have to do is safely escort their brother Narinder across the western frontier to deliver a mysterious package. What could go wrong?

    Summary

    Something goes wrong. The crown is split during Narinder's defeat, splitting the power between him and the Lamb.

    Narinder keeps a portion of his godhood, and the Lamb finds that abilities they had access to before are no longer possible: Healing is cut short. Powers are halved. And there is a very real chance of perma-death, as the ability to resurrect is not possible without full power, and the God of Death is not cooperative.
    Afterlife and Purgatory are not options either. Dying means erasure. Gone.

    Lambert knows Narinder grows stronger by the day, crown or not, and yet keeps him spared as they try to figure out how to complete their own goals. Narinder vows vengeance on the lamb for usurping him. After a few unsuccessful murder attempts, he's in for the long haul. It is only a matter of time before the Lamb's guard is down before he can strike, and The One Who Waits is very patient. When a mystic being demands they save the bishops from purgatory, an alliance is in order.

    Except...the lamb's actions and their presence begin to unlock abilities within the God of Death he didn't know he had prior to his imprisonment, among other fickle things, like emotions. The prophecy didn't warn him of that part.
