Chestal Thicketsway said happily, turning full circle to
scan the breadth of the ice field with its jumbled, vague
shapes, frozen in combat. "Just look at this! Didn't I tell

great crisis, tales of heroes who had manned the gates
and the pathways beyond, who had fought at King Dun-
can's order so that Thorbardin could live.

chaotic feature, like a miniature mountain range twice
