Day one was intelligence.
Nyx produced a document that would have impressed national security agencies. Forty-seven pages. Aether-signature analysis linking Duke Embercrown to the restricted section meetings with Malcris. Communication intercepts showing coordination between the Duke's private network and Cult intermediaries. Financial records — traced through seven layers of shell companies — connecting Embercrown funds to Cult operations across three provinces.
And at the center of the package: Mira Kasun's medical records. The Soul Binding signature extracted from her broken seal — analyzed by Healer Mirenne, confirmed by Nihil's thousand-year knowledge of Void-adjacent techniques, and definitively matched to Embercrown methodology.
The Duke's fingerprints. On a child's soul.
