History

Episode 2 The Salt Barge

Bettany took Mira's last three silver for passage without asking what was in the oilcloth. Confronted by Varr Dane, she insisted she carried only salt.

Episode 3 What the Water Keeps

Bettany dropped the sail to let the Patience drift over Ilith and hauled Mira back aboard after her dive. She countered Mira's claim about the Wardens by saying they were two hundred years old, founded by the Council after the Drowning.
