The Wind Rider approaches Half-Circle Sea Hold. Shortly before they arrive, Colfet falls and breaks his arm. Lorana sets the bones, setting a splint for him. Colfet warns Lorana to leave the ship if Baror became captain. They moor at the new sea hold. Colfet visits the hold healer, to have a closer look at Lorana's bone-setting. The healer is impressed by her work, and asks if she'd ever thought of becoming a full healer. The hold was still under construction, and much of its populace spent their time outside of the hold proper. Baror had knocked Tanner unconcious, possibly killed him.
