Salamanders
Salamanders stories retain their separate operations and established links. In Vulkan’s Shield, Kadai’s schola rescue and Adrak Vraver’s assistance remain distinct from the earlier memory of neophyte Dak’ir on Nocturne. The rescue precedes Kadai’s death in Salamander; this is a bound from the character’s events, without a calendar year or an assertion that every scene of the story precedes every scene of the novel.
