Here is the outline of the story, taken from the last working draft of Ealasaid:

-----------------------------------

ACT 1: At the Forsaken Inn
  • Lespheria departs, leaving Amandur at the inn, where he remains in the hopes of finding out where Naiore is.
  • Naiore & Vanwe meet somewhere near the inn.
  • Kaldir captures Gilly, who is trying to rescue Benia.
  • Hanasian returns to the inn from Bree.
  • 2 Shady Underworld Types arrive at the inn. (Or they may already be there -- writer‘s choice.)
  • 2 New Rangers arrive at the inn, meeting Amandur and Hanasian.

ACT 2: Meetings & Departures
  • Kaldir returns to the woods, where he had earlier sensed an ominous presence, and discovers that it is indeed Naiore. He picks up her trail.
  • Naiore & Vanwe fall in together.
  • Hanasian & Amandur also learn of Naiore's presence by chance, intuition, or whispered rumor.
  • Having been intercepted and turned back by a messenger from her twin brother, Lespheria returns to the inn, where she rejoins Amandur.
  • Hanasian joins forces with the other two (as yet unnamed) Rangers.
  • Hearing somehow of Naiore’s presence, the Underworld Types decide to seek her out, leaving the inn before the others.
  • The rest of them depart (in separate groups) in pursuit of Naiore.
  • Gilly and Benia accompany Kaldir as his prisoners (sort of).

Act 3: Intrigue
  • Naiore & Vanwe take up with the two Shady Underworld Types
  • The Hunters & the Hunted all stalk each other a bit. There are run-ins & confrontations as Naiore attempts to take out her pursuers by whatever means she has at her disposal.
  • Gilly & Benia try to decide whether to assist Kaldir, escape from him, or attempt to redeem him.
  • Hanasian catches up with Kaldir.

Act 4: The Noose Tightens
  • With Rangers and bounty hunters closing in, Naiore changes her focus from killing the Rangers to pursuing Menecin, using any and all means to conceal her path.
  • The Rangers (all of them) and Lespheria ride together.
  • Shady characters start to realize Naiore may be setting them up for a fall and so plot against her.
  • Gilly & Benia manage to free themselves or Kaldir loosens his grip as he becomes increasingly focused on the hunt for Naiore.

Act 5: End Game
  • Naiore makes her attempt to kill Menecin. She fails & flees to the south, deserting Vanwe to her fate.
  • Naiore tries to take down anyone she can as she attempts to escape the closing trap.
  • The shady characters make their move against Naiore, either on their own or together.
  • Naiore is trapped somewhere near the Gladden Fields, where she is either captured or slain.
