Vance had not said a word even after they had left the palace and climbed into the carriage. He only grunted a curt 'Silver Moon Tavern' to Mr. Horgan—the coachman—and once again, silence fell upon them.

Ghouls, sirens, and fairies would gather information from every race they met while in disguise. The royal order had been officially issued and the ministers were currently distributing it across the kingdom.
