==After the Rescue==
The Greater Good is informed of the results of [[Zeal]]'s raid on [[Union]]; their Lodestar Elegy and the Cinder King's [[Scadrian]] [[Scadrian Authorization Key|authorization key]], believed at the time to be a key to Refuge, had both been recovered at great cost, including Elegy and [[Rebeke|Rebeke Salvage's]] brother [[Divinity Salvage|Divinity]]. Compassion councils that they have a duty to test the key, likely referring to the lives lost in the mission to obtain it and commends Zeal and his team for their willingness to steal it. When Confidence warns that the Cinder King will chase the Beaconites for stealing the key, Compassion explains how the Cinder King would seek to chase and destroy them regardless and that stealing the key had only hardened his resolve as he relied on his people believing in his uncontested authority.{{book ref|tsm|8}}
 
Upon learning that Nomad had survived for several seconds in the sunlight, Compassion explains to him the story of the Sunlit Ones who could survive and use the sunlight by taking it into themselves and were thus able to stay in one place long enough to build a city beneath the ground. Despite Confidence’s incredulity, Compassion believes that Nomad’s survival indicates that he is one of these Sunlit Ones, a belief that is shortly strengthened when Nomad reveals that he is able to read the Scadrian text on the authorization key and can communicate with the people behind the door it opens. Compassion councils that she believes Adonalsium will bless their endeavor to find and open the door to Refuge but requests that they ask the Beaconites for their consent before committing to such a risky course. In return for translating the authorization key and helping the Beaconites reach the door the Greater Good agrees to give Nomad food, drink, clothing, and remove the bracers the [[Charred]] had put on him when he arrived at Union.{{book ref|tsm|11}}
