This was the "twist" I had mentioned a while ago. The idea had just come to me when I finished writing Chapter 7 that what would be going on in Pyandonea? Surely they wouldn't be kicking back and relaxing: Balasian has lots of "state secrets" and they'd want to stop him. Quite a few chapters take place in Pyandonea, actually. You'll also get to meet some of Balasian's followers, as well.
