Hello again.  At the start of the fourth Greystar book (War of the Wizards) 
there's an odd sentence which feels as though there's a missing word:
"Then the leader of the rebel Freedom Guild, Sado of the Long Knife, enlisted your 
aid in freeing the city of Karnali from the rule of its Shadakine Wytch and her warriors, 
but you did not,"

You did not what, exactly?
It sounds like the sentence ought to read "but you did not stay," or something 
to that effect.

Cheers,

Hmm . . . This is certainly an interesting one. That's how the text reads in the original book, but it does seem contradictory: Grey Star *did* help Sado against the Wytch of Karnali. I think your suggestion of adding 'stay' before the comma adds more sense to the sentence.

(er) 04wotw tssf: Shadakine Wytch and her warriors, but you did not, -> Shadakine Wytch and her warriors, but you did not stay, [as reported by Kayvohn via the Contact portal.]

Looks like that's the last Grey Star error. For now.

For Sommerlund and the Kai!
