Composites: with Repel, Coil, Mend and Brace learned, the prototype allows every two-spell chain, so Repel into Coil (34 × 1.2 = 41 damage and a 2.5 s stagger) is possible against the Wyrm before anyone in the story has taught threading. The Story Bible puts the first thread in Act 2 (Rook or Dace, Repel into Gale: Headwind). Question 2 settles it: chains wait for

- Lanternfall first (route B)
- Dace teaches threading at the pass summit (chapter 4)
(Idea) Why the Long Road sits between the courts: Twinhold, Lanternfall and Halfway form a triangle. Halfway has a road to each court, and the Long Road is the highland caravan route that joins the two courts directly. Whichever city the player starts in, Dace's caravan takes them to the other one, so Gale is always learned between the two letters and the first thread always comes after Gale.

Who: Tamsin; a Warden Measurer; the envoys of all five factions in the gallery: Tamsin for the Wardens, Brother Fallow (Tenders), Novice Tull (Keepers, sent by Keeper Hale), Sister Ise (Still Choir), Caravan-master Dace (Waymakers).
From Walkthrough: Act 2 › Chapter 1: Twinhold, with Tamsin › The Measuring
What happens: the factions compete for the player as the Codex says they always compete. Each envoy makes a pitch and offers something. The lead envoy's pitch is warmer and its gift better; the others speak to what the player drew. None of the pitches is binding, and Tamsin tells the player so with visible effort. The rivalry shows: Fallow calls the Wardens "accountants", Tull says everyone is in a hurry, and the other four dismiss Dace as "barely Evane".

Waymakers (Dace): a job on the Long Road caravan, which leaves in two days. [Twinhold first] This is how the main line moves on. [Lanternfall first] Dace already knows you from the road and offers the Waymaker side quests instead (Tailwind and Squall; side quests tab).
