Episode Summary

Childhood sweethearts now vie for the same Imperial throne.

Episode Notes

How is your loyalty earned?
It is of course demanded often, a coveted and valuable thing to many. And it can be lent, or faked, or retracted, a temporary boost or slight in a long line of alliances. But when you offer it for keeps, when its strength outweighs the memory and obligation of any other, what price has been paid for it? Stability, perhaps?
Perhaps it is something you expect in return, tit for tat, giving as good as you get. Perhaps you draw it to you like a light in the darkness, like a blade, perhaps you coax it with blood and bone. Maybe the reward for your loyalty is just the impulse to reach out when you hear your wavering name cried out in the dark; maybe, when you are faced with the terrible and inevitable, your loyalty is paid for by the name that leaps from your throat.
