TY 724 = POG 13 = Eclipse 5

Osmun's unnamed sister is born.

Melinor, age fifteen, kills her uncle and his "business associate". She is exiled for using magic to kill someone, and also for committing murder in general, despite the mitigating circumstances. Erik (35) goes with her. The life of a priest isn't really for him. He'd much rather take his apprentice (sorry - "novice") and travel the world.

Melinor and Erik track down Karelis, the only person Mel knows outside of the islands. Melinor is severely disappointed to discover that Karelis is not really the awesome, rebellious free spirit she remembers her as. Mel and Erik ditch the caravan in the hill country and decide to become bandits. (It's just like being a pirate. Except on land.)

Erik kind of sort of accidentally starts a gang of bandits.

Erik begins organising a more coordinated resistance to the Tolamainian crown's efforts to keep the hill-people under control and the trade-roads clear. Because what else is he going to do with his time?
