Part 2, Chapter 47 Summary: “Maevyth”

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of death, graphic violence, rape, child sexual abuse, gender discrimination, antigay bias, and sexual content.

Maevyth passes 11 days of training with Zevander, studying bones with Allura and Dolion, and getting to know everyone in Eidolon. One night, Allura joins Maevyth for tea, and they investigate the puzzle book. Maevyth opens the next puzzle and finds a silver whistle. She blows the whistle, which summons a horde of ravens and Raivox, who is much larger. Allura is shocked that Raivox is a Corvugon, but he flies away. Rykaia enters, and Allura leaves; Rykaia tells Maevyth that she does not like Allura.

Rykaia opens a portal in the wall by “cleaving,” pours a potion over Maevyth to mask her smell, and morphs their faces into those of elderly women. She tells Maevyth that they are going on an adventure, but Maevyth feels bad betraying Zevander’s trust.

They teleport to Costelwick, where Maevyth gives her cloak to two spindlings begging for money. Rykaia explains how the Nilivir are impoverished because the wealthy hoard vivicantem. Maevyth, however, is impressed that women can own property in Aethyria.
