Felwether is a walled village, part of a manor-keep, a common type of settlement in its region. When Tarma and Kethry arrive in the village, it is just in time to prevent the lady of the manor, Lady Myria, from being burned at the stake for the murder of her husband, Lord Corbie. Following local custom, Tarma volunteers to fight as the lady's champion, while Kethry proves her innocence. (Oathbound)
