The members of the Soldiers were brought together by the execution of Thjazi Fang, a former member of the Torn Banner. The scion of House Halovar, Wicander Halovar, and his companion Tyranny attended Thjazi's wake. A former commander of the Torn Banner, Loza Blade, preparing to retire, asked Wicander if House Halovar might take on her companion Teor Pridesire for security work, and Wicander uncharacteristically took it upon himself to agree.[1] When Teor presented himself at the Halovar estate, the leader of the House, Yanessa Halovar, learned that he was a former Bannersman of the Torn Banner, which had rebelled against the Sundered Houses (including House Halovar) in the Falconer's Rebellion, and decided to get rid of Teor.[2] Pretending to let bygones be bygones, Yanessa sent Teor to Filoneus Halovar, who in turn sent Teor to some allies at the Mercanaud Couturier to make him disappear.[3] Yanessa, attempting to lift the scales from Wicander's eyes about the family's secret purposes so that he could more effectively play his part, let Wicander and Tyranny know that Teor had been set up to die.[4] Wicander and Tyranny arrived at the Mercanaud Couturier just in time to prevent Teor from meeting a terrible fate, claiming that the family leaders believed they had made a mistake and had decided to let Teor go. After Teor was released, he felt he owed a life debt to Wicander and Tyranny, and pledged himself to their service.[5]
Meanwhile, Thimble and Kattigan, both also former members of the Torn Banner, investigated the theft of the Stone of Nightsong in a robbery that had nearly killed Thimble and which had prevented her from playing her part in an attempted rescue of Thjazi. They learned from one of the Crow Keepers a series of facts that together suggested Casimir Gavendale and his crew of several Crow Keepers had carried out the robbery, and also that he had newly acquired a deed to a stronghouse in Gormalay, and was planning to skip town imminently. However, Teor's brother Talcydimir Pridesire, who had been expecting Casimir's help in the plot to rescue Thjazi, had burst in, saw the apparent spoils of Casimir's betrayal, and grabbed the deed and fled. Casimir and his crew went after Talcydimir.[6]
Meeting back at the location of Thjazi's wake, Wicander, Tyranny, Teor, Thimble, and Kattigan compared notes, and Wicander recalled that his family had holdings up in Gormalay. The five decided to pursue Casimir north to Gormalay, with hopes of making Casimir pay for his betrayal and of rescuing Talcydimir.[7]

Quotations[]
- Brennan Lee Mulligan: (summing up the members of the Soldiers party) There's Kattigan Vale, who has an open shiner on his face from a bar fight where two people were murdered. There's Thimble, who is a wanted criminal accomplice who was left for dead in Thjazi's hideout. Teor, whose mentor just headed west this morning and who himself was marked for death by the Halovar family who are here in the city knowing that they did that. Then there is Wick, someone that you knew had a reputation for straight-dealing in a family that had a reputation for love of power. Now you're hearing that there's a malevolent magical dimension to the Halovars' previously corrupt noble evil malevolence and you also know that according to Tyranny, it was already bad before he moved against his family and they went and lied or did whatever they did to free Teor in contradiction to the family's wishes.[8]
