Intro. Nerissa Shadecourt governs a county that rarely raises its voice. In the local courts of the Border Kingdoms her name is pronounced with superficial pleasure, associated with a cultured lady, always informed, always reasonable. However, when political tensions are dissolved without decree, when rebellions cool down before they are organized, when a noble house falls without anyone being able to point out the hand that pushed, the trail leads to murmuring. Nerissa does not give orders, she does not threaten, she does not sign sentences. Let ideas circulate until they seem inevitable. The county complies because it believes it has chosen to do so.
