I've been meaning to ask. Perhaps I might have missed it in some chapter, but whatever did happen to the Selu'kiira of the Mistwinter Clan? Is it still in Ryndeth's keeping, or did he give it to Joneleth, as he promised Nyonin? I would hate to think it forever lost, not just because of the lore, but because of the sentimental value. I would like to see it find its way back to Joneleth, if only as some consolation to the deceased Nyonin. I wish she had been able to see her son one last time. Even after all that happened, she still loved Joneleth. Is Nyonin's spirit utterly destroyed, then? There is no after-life for her?
Ah! THis is a very interesting question. However answering it in full would be a major spoiler for the next half of the story. Yes, the kiira is supposed to play a major role, although Seldarine only knows when will I come back to it. Soon hopefully.
Thanks for asking!
Yes, Nyonin is gone... tis Jon's major sin on top of all else -- to cause true death of his own mother.

faster than 1 per month! In fact I already have about 30% of 49 written -- and 48 have been released less than a week ago.

The scheme with the Tree ended up botched as well, and she got herself slain by the most formidable of Bhaal's Children. Given all that bungling, I'm surprised Kiaransalee hasn't turned Bodhi into a mindless zombie and be done with it.
When Bodhi catches up with Joneleth, is Joneleth's old self going to step in and help his new self? He did step in to help the current Joneleth back in the theater. Bodhi is probably going to catch the current Joneleth in a trap, and the old Joneleth will probably tell the current Joneleth again to stop acting like a "spineless maggot" and take control of himself to resolve the mess.

Anyways. The King won't even get to sample the pleasures of Bhodi's carnal artistry before she destroys him, eh? What a pity.
And will the Dark Goddess turn her directly, or will she send a vampire to do it the old fashioned way?

About the geas, the terms were that Joneleth cannot slay innocents with his magic, correct? Well, none of the foes he has fought so far can exactly be considered innocent. Would killing them have triggered the geas? Bodhi is anything but innocent. Would slaying her again cause the geas to react?
As for the Joneleth/Mirriam couple, I'm still trying to make up my mind about it. Of course, after this, Mirriam is probably going to have anything but romance on her mind. Still, assuming that is the path Joneleth wishes to take, I won't complain. How long would it last? Several decades at the most, and that is barely the blink of an eye to the Tel'Quessir. He can find a lover among the Tel'Quessir after that. I was actually entertaining the notion of Joneleth meeting Luewyn again and eventually starting a romance with her. And Joneleth will probably meet Luewyn once more, as he must reach Evereska. Though I seriously wonder if his N'Tel'Quessir companions will actually be allowed inside the fortress city.

About your other questions: no he is not residing on Evermeet. Yes meeting Luewyn is on the agenda, romantic option for him and Mirriam is still open although it will be difficult as Hell for both. But I cannot promise happy endings -- these seem to elude me always...
