She smiled briefly at Mark before hugging him, taking the time to notice that her hands brushed the cloth of a jacket much finer than any she owned. She pulled away and met his eyes.

Sahart of Shallam ----------------- As the astute reader and scholar will note, Sahart founded the great city of Shallam after quarreling with his brother Glanos* over their common lover, Enalia.
