Notes: 1316 Portcallan; Osmer Nivyrn. (Another snippet from Osmer’s being betrayed and injured too badly to continue as a Pathwalker. It’s 1316, because Osmer lost over 18 months as a result of what he does here (returning to Starfall in early 1318), which apparently I never actually made clear in the other pieces where this was referenced.)
