Where God's No Longer Tread
The Pageant in the afternoon transitions to a world that is currently at dusk. The world is evidently a desert world, lots of sand. The Pageant arrives at a point in the center of a huge depression or crater. The encampment is in disorder and people are upset. Rambert tries to go to Bekhet to ask what is going on. She won't see him, and doesn't trust him to come into her tent. She sends him away. Those who are armed move about the camp with their hands on swords. The whole camp goes to watch the first moon rise, followed by the second. It is a moment of dread and fear. The name Erdach Kodesh ripples through the crowd. Theodoric tells the characters where they are and why they should be afraid.
Aegon rides to the edge of the crater, nominally "East". He sees a faint trail and bones of strange creatures.
When he returns to report to Theodoric, he sees and hears Theodoric making a pledge of truce with Zhu Zan.
The wagons are loaded and begin to travel east to the road going out of the bowl.
