* EnsembleDarkhorse: Mairon
* NightmareFuel: The Joining from the perspective of Lily and Gimli. Daveth was killed by the Ritual and Jory was kiled by Duncan when he refused. So the two conscripted outcasts from an unfair life find themselves in an unfair dilemna: Undergo the joining and risk dying or refuse and get killed.

** [[spoiler: The Blood mages that very nearly killed the Wardens in the Circle Tower. The mage's own inexperience was ultimately what gave the wardens a chance to kill them.]]
