A scene
The masked envoy at the court of Babilary claims to be a merchant prince from Khitai. The necromancer Xiu Mei, standing among the queen's advisors, opens her eyes in a particular way and sees what everyone else cannot: that his fine robes cover a shape-shifted changeling; that an invisible servant stands at his left shoulder; that there is a hidden door behind the tapestry; and that the creature's poorest quality is its courage. It is terrified of fire. She smiles and asks, very politely, for more torches.
