Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Habris's departure (beat_b7588e6ad54224b2) sets up the Lords' discussion on selection criteria (beat_9230f191a8cdbf0b), as they are now alone to deliberate."

About Causal Connections

A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
