What really happened [The saga’s invention]¶

On the longest night by the drifted calendar (12 Dec 1449; the calendar has drifted twelve days from Kūčios; Praurimė’s zenith halves Birutė’s cost) Žiežirba lights an ordinary driftwood fire on the Palanga shore, the first fire of his own in forty-four years (green-blue with salt). The Amber Queen speaks through the pebble for the last time and gives him his name.

Consequences¶

Leads to his death in early March 1450.

Dramatisation¶

Book V ch. 29 „Vardas prie Ugnies“ (Birutė’s frame voice; 12 Dec 1449).
