[[Lightsong]] and [[Blushweaver]] chat as they enter the arena. She suggests that they share each other's [[Command]] for his 20,000 lifeless, but he refuses to give her his. He is disgusted with the other Gods for only wanting to be involved in politics but not taking responsibility as leaders of their nation. All of the gods except for the God King finally arrive, and Lightsong is puzzled when he looks for [[Siri]] and sees that she is not there yet.
Siri and Susebron intend to appeal to Lightsong for assistance against the priests while the Returned court is in session, but the priests are one step ahead of them, holding them in seclusion, while spreading rumors that Siri is pregnant. A vote to seek the Will of the Pantheon is held, with a near unanimous consensus to invade Idris, though Lightsong abstained from voting.
 
Siri is walking through the palace, going over in her mind the plan to expose what the priests have done to silence and control the [[Susebron|God King]]. As she approaches the door leading to the court, she sees that it is guarded by priests with [[Lifeless]] soldiers. Rather than resist, she attempts to exert authority over them, but they lead her away, saying that they will announce that she is pregnant and cannot exert herself. The priests seem to regret their actions.
 
[[Vivenna]] and [[Vasher]] watch the debate. [[Nanrovah]] is back to arguing against war, but there is little support for that position. Vasher notices that neither the God King nor Siri are in attendance, and goes to find out why. He returns with the news that Siri is pregnant, and Vivenna insists that they rescue her from that "thing" who they assume is also in favor of war with [[Idris]]. Vasher promises to try. The priests go back to their respective gods to seek the Will of the Pantheon -- the formal vote to decide whether to go to war.
 
Lightsong watches as most gods vote to go to war. He tells Blushweaver that those in control of the army have the real power, and that he is willing to defy the Will of the Pantheon if necessary. Blushweaver votes for war. He abstains from voting.
