Tool and the Adjunct enter the Gadrobi Hills. Tool explains that the Tellann and Omtose Phellack Warrens are of the same “flavour” hence he will be able to find the Jaghut barrow where others could not. He was chosen to lead her because he is clan-less and expendable and so the Jaghut tyrant can not enslave him, nor can he be a conduit for the Jaghut to enslave his kin since he doesn't have any. He tells her that releasing the tyrant is a gamble and that it relies on Anomander Rake using his sword Dragnipur to enslave the Jaghut which in turn would weaken the Son of Darkness significantly. From what Tool tells her, Lorn learns that the Tiste Andii came to this world from another and that the First Warren Starvald Demelain is the home of Dragons.
