Alder, the sorcerer fears sleep and the dead are seen pulling him at night. They might just be able to free themselves and eventually invade Earthsea. Alder is looking to have advice from Ged and he tells him to visit Tehanu, Tenar and the Havnor’s king. They were also joined by Irian who is a ferocious dragon capable of assuming shape of a woman.
