Summary
The Last Emperor of Astandalas asked for peace. Cliopher Mdang travelled half way round the world of Zunidh to broker a ceasefire for him.
He may have, just slightly, exceeded his remit.
(All fics in this series build out from events in Embers - and therefore spoil it - but I've tried to keep them viable as stand-alones too.)

Summary
Rial froze. The tea slopped out of the cup he had just lifted from its saucer, no doubt doing terrible things to the sleeve of his silk robe. “Sayo Mdang wants what?”
“He wants you,” said Loveless.

Summary
The Duchy of Borogravia is, as a nation, on death's doorstep. The duchess has been in seclusion so long no one is certain if she's alive. Their god, Nuggan, seems to have gone utterly mad. The various neighbours they're constantly at war with have brought in new allies to finally break their army. And the crops have been failing.
At this point it's so bad their only hope is likely necromancy.
Can the young nun Harrow save the fate of a whole country with just her fellow sister of Nuggan Gideon and the exceptionally misfit 10th Infantry Regiment on her side?
(And will Gideon every realise most of the 10th are cross dressing women?)Bookmarked by stormscrait

Summary
Kip Mdang returns to Solaara, hardly confident that the Imperial Service will take him back but sure that there is no place for him in the Vangavaye-ve.
The City of Cities is still expanding from the backwater village it was before the Fall; the work of reconstruction continues but it is no longer a simple crisis. In the Palace the big political beasts are circling for position under the newly awakened Emperor.
Despondent and determined to bury himself in work, Cliopher finds his former patron disapproving and the new Master of Offices openly hostile. But he is still a fifth degree secretary, and some problems are easier to solve when you feel that you have little left to lose... and don't care which enemies you make along the way.
