Tailwind into Bevel Lash: the biggest single hit in the set.
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).

fragment_squall, a sail-patch). The jobs open Long Road fast travel stops.
[ ] 28. The naming lists. Story Bible § 7 gives Veil (Still Choir), Slip (Waymakers), Crown Ward and Culet Spike (Facets) as examples. The roadmap uses none of them: the Choir has Hush, Echo, Calm and Listen; the Waymakers Gale, Drift, Squall and Tailwind; the Facets Facet Seal, Bevel Lash, Prism Snare, Crown Surge, Table Mend, Girdle Gate and Pavilion Wake. Recommendation (new): swap the § 7 examples for roadmap spells, and keep Veil, Slip, Crown Ward and Culet Spike as spare names for later warp-born glyphs. Sources:

[ ] 45. Shape changes. Accept the new Squall, Echo, Tailwind, Root and Hasten shapes, and update the Spell Set tab? Recommendation: yes, since the old shapes collide. Sources:
