Here is the outline of the story, taken from the last working draft of Ealasaid:
-----------------------------------
ACT 1: At the Forsaken Inn
- Lespheria departs, leaving Amandur at the inn, where he remains in the hopes of finding out where Naiore is.
- Naiore & Vanwe meet somewhere near the inn.
- Kaldir captures Gilly, who is trying to rescue Benia.
- Hanasian returns to the inn from Bree.
- 2 Shady Underworld Types arrive at the inn. (Or they may already be there -- writer‘s choice.)
- 2 New Rangers arrive at the inn, meeting Amandur and Hanasian.
ACT 2: Meetings & Departures
- Kaldir returns to the woods, where he had earlier sensed an ominous presence, and discovers that it is indeed Naiore. He picks up her trail.
- Naiore & Vanwe fall in together.
- Hanasian & Amandur also learn of Naiore's presence by chance, intuition, or whispered rumor.
- Having been intercepted and turned back by a messenger from her twin brother, Lespheria returns to the inn, where she rejoins Amandur.
- Hanasian joins forces with the other two (as yet unnamed) Rangers.
- Hearing somehow of Naiore’s presence, the Underworld Types decide to seek her out, leaving the inn before the others.
- The rest of them depart (in separate groups) in pursuit of Naiore.
- Gilly and Benia accompany Kaldir as his prisoners (sort of).
Act 3: Intrigue
- Naiore & Vanwe take up with the two Shady Underworld Types
- The Hunters & the Hunted all stalk each other a bit. There are run-ins & confrontations as Naiore attempts to take out her pursuers by whatever means she has at her disposal.
- Gilly & Benia try to decide whether to assist Kaldir, escape from him, or attempt to redeem him.
- Hanasian catches up with Kaldir.
Act 4: The Noose Tightens
- With Rangers and bounty hunters closing in, Naiore changes her focus from killing the Rangers to pursuing Menecin, using any and all means to conceal her path.
- The Rangers (all of them) and Lespheria ride together.
- Shady characters start to realize Naiore may be setting them up for a fall and so plot against her.
- Gilly & Benia manage to free themselves or Kaldir loosens his grip as he becomes increasingly focused on the hunt for Naiore.
Act 5: End Game
- Naiore makes her attempt to kill Menecin. She fails & flees to the south, deserting Vanwe to her fate.
- Naiore tries to take down anyone she can as she attempts to escape the closing trap.
