Heard from Ryx:

As far as my characters, Murikeer/Kozaithy, Malger/Misanthe -

In the current timeline Malger, Misanthe, and the Matthias family are traveling to Sondesharra, a trip that lasts a year to 18 months. After that Malger and Misanthe marry & have a child. They also adopt Charlie Matthias somewhere around 708 or 709. After that Malger will become a diplomat for Metamor, traveling and working on relations with the Midlands, of which the Keep is ostensibly affiliated, and surrounding duchies.
Murikeer and Kozaithy will marry at some point and retire to the villa deeded to them by Brian Avery, just north of Glen Avery if I remember my geography correctly. There they will establish their family and a school for magecraft. I do not forsee any grand adventures for them subsequently.

Interesting. With a future at peace I imagine MK will have an era of properity. The writer's guild is experimenting with a
movable type machine they've "imported" from the China analog in the MK universe. Though adapted to work with the local alphabet.
The Duke, I imagine, is likely still alive though some discussion on the succession will be in the air. And some monument to the victory will have been built. Not sure what form it should take, perhaps a solemn column like WA memorial, or a victory arch embossed with mythril reliefs. Or maybe some eternal flame (magic).
Something impressive enough to wow foreign dignitaries at least.

Drift's great-uncle, Weldon Trendahl, invented it, but burned his prototype during the Scourging of Galador and hid the plans (written in invisible ink) in a note in the family Canticles. Unfortunately, the person who would have known to look for it, Drift's grandfather, was killed during the escape to Metamor. This was hinted at in "Dreams" and referenced again at the end of "Snow Fall" when Madog detected it.

(The hidden message on a blank paper in the family Bible is a reference to "The Count of Monte Cristo".)

I haven't yet figured out what Drift/Carcarak would be doing at that point, though I have a hunch. It hasn't gelled yet because for the life of me I can't figure out how to get him/them started on his/their recovery after returning to the mortal planes.
