| - Tatti was dining in the feasting hall of Jaliad, seated on a stone platform near the fireplace, when Greel brought in his prisoner, Adin. Greel had allowed Adin to live and feast with the Jalis for the night as a reward for his valiant fight with the Jalis leader. Greel allowed Adin to explain why he had come to the Jalis' territory, suggesting that if the tale was amusing they would release and then chase him, but would kill him on the spot if he failed to entertain them. Adin described his quest to create a belt he had seen in his dreams, hoping to drive back the Shadow Lord. Tatti and the rest of the Jalis fell silent until Greel began to explain the Tenna Birdsong Tales to Adin, introducing Tatti as Tenna's direct descendant and the tribe’s current storyteller. Greel requested that Tatti tell the story of Opal the Dreamer. Tatti complied, repeating the entire story, which spoke of a "man of iron and fire" — as Adin had described himself — and a belt like the one Adin had described. Her story enraptured Adin, who was astounded to hear a tale of his ancestor from a complete stranger. When she finished her tale, the Jalis cheered uproariously and Greel presented the Diamond to Adin.
