Part V is out!! There's good news and bad news:
Good news: the next chapter, 'Jormon's Seat', is going to take you to the capital for the first time, and meet Yeira and Waith! I'm quite glad I've got the slow chapters out of the way now, because the next chapter is really the start of the good stuff!
The bad news: the next chapter has so much in it, with new characters, a whole new setting to describe, and the first hints at who hired the assassin, so it's going to be a bitch to write. Just bare with me, but this could easily be a week's work.
