For a wizard, look for magic; for magic, look for something otherwise impossible; for a secret wizard, one unknown to the common folk, look for impossible events that no known wizard could claim. The copies of the steerswomen’s logbooks in the Annex held centuries of observations. Any steerswoman observing an inexplicable event would be certain to record it. By the condition and location of the Guidestar fragments that Rowan had found, she was able to place the event somewhere within a four-year span. Steerswomen traveled wide, and were few. Not all logbooks successfully made their way back to the Archives, and not all of the copies made subsequently found their way safely to the Annexes. Nevertheless, Rowan managed to locate fifty-two books covering the relevant period. She read them. She began generating notes, charts, and in one case, a graph. After a while, and quite incidental to her planned search, she began to notice something odd. It was the weather. Steerswomen routinely, in every day’s first entry, made note of the weather.
