Summary
Essek goes home, and there is no one waiting at his door. This should be some manner of relief. But his towers haven't felt like a safe haven for a long time now, long before errant scourgers appeared to harass him with strange questions. He misses the immediacy of that threat, prefers it over the slow and indulgent terror of whatever punishment is coming for him, someday soon.
He tells himself that he misses only that, the simplicity of being unsafe in the company of predators, and that he does not miss the company itself.
(In which a pair of scourgers shows up at Essek’s doorstep and saves him from himself.)

Summary
The weak ones are easy kills, she remembered her clan leader telling her as they aimed their crossbow at a fawn. A little baby, speckled thing with big eyes and a swishing tail. Injured, the word was like oil between pointed teeth, are even easier.

Summary
When the world was created, everything spoke one language. Wind spoke to the hawk, the snail to the stone, the trees to the lakes. Then people, of all races and persuasions, began to walk the planes, and as they took control over the lands the words they spoke to each other became so powerful that the balance broke. From then on, creatures could only understand those of their own kind, and it has remained this way for as long as anyone can remember.
However, it might be that not all has been lost forever...
or: a caleb-and-nott focused retelling of roughly the first hundred episodes of campaign 2, with things a little different.

Summary
There's something in Caleb's dreams. It wants him to know that he's not alone. It wants him to know that he'll never be alone again.
Elves don't dream, so all Essek can do is watch.
