Known Details

  • A chariot appeared among later auction lots and interested The Guilt, but the notes do not explicitly confirm it was the same mother-of-pearl elemental chariot.
  • Day 32 gives the auction chariot more context: it was connected to an Excellence defeated in the battle of the unending seas, drew bids from Ravens, jewellery men, an emissary, Dally, the Hartwall partner, and Lady Thorpe, and was taken to the Palace with other auction property.
