I just re-read The Goblin Emperor

[conuly]

and a question falls into my mind:

What happened to the staff at Endonomee? At the very least, all the exciting events of the first chapter probably mean they lost their jobs. You'd think Maia would consider that and make sure to at least keep them on the payroll until they found new ones again. It seems like the sort of thing he'd care about doing.

Somebody ought to remind him.

What happened to the staff at Endonomee?

If you're interested in a fic answer to this, kaffy_r wrote a gorgeous take on this very question a couple of years ago: Song from the Western Marshes :)
