River spent the next years wildly, ragingly, fighting the Roaring King in confrontational magical battles, aiding escapees and giving them tailsmans for protection, and doing whatever she could to progress the cause.
Leonard and Thomas also freed and helped free person after person, giving them protective stones and helping them be happy in their new lives. Thomas's plays also helped bring a couple of people from the new generation of overpriviledged snobs onto the good side.

Coralivia, in all it's beautiful natural glory, had hope. The whole country had hope.
