Editing The Beorgmann (section)

==Chronology==
It has lived for an incredibly long time, while in Canada it settled into the Nipigon region and was bound and being contained by the Legendre family.

Roughly two decades ago [[Hugh Legendre]] offered up his nephew, Cabe Legendre, in return for the Beorgmann being bound again.<ref>“Your father accepted the deal, once.  Twenty years ago.”<br><br>...<br><br>“He accepted.  The barrier went down.  Hugh Legendre called for reinforcements, but they struck a deal before the reinforcements came.  He named a child and kept the reinforcements from attacking.  In exchange, the child-stealer went, took only the one, and returned, allowing itself to be bound.  It was cleaner.  The mess was contained.”<br><br>...<br><br>“The child was Cabe Legendre,” the child in the treehouse said.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/01/18 Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.y]]</ref>

The previous time it escaped was eight years ago when an [[Aware]] that had had his brother stolen and was focused on freeing people had stumbled across it, he made a deal with the Beorgmann to be able to search inside it's tree houses and whilst that was happening it managed to get free.<ref>Eight years ago was the last time the Beorgmann had escaped.  Some jackass Aware had come into this region of about two hundred people, meddling.  A man who’d lost a brother.  Time and time again, he’d run into Others who would know things about the brother.  Or who stole children.  Dark Fall Fae.  The Beorgmann.  He was uniquely equipped to defeat them, to free children, and to surround himself with surrogates.  [[Fate]] was on his side.<br><br>But the Beorgmann had sidestepped that, and made a deal instead.  It had let the man search among the stolen children for his brother, and it had slipped free.  Taking two to a treehouse.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/01/18 Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.y]]</ref>

When Milly was attacked by [[Thunder Bay Council]] members it offered its services to her against those that attacked her, agreeing to release three children and return to be bound again.<ref>“Deal with us, Lord of the Nipigon region,” the child called down.  “Let us out and let us serve.  For this one time, we’ll make you an offer you must accept.”<br><br>...<br><br>“Three children, returned in better condition than they left.  They’ll remember nothing and they’ll be given over to you, healthy, whole, innocent, human, and sane.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/01/18 Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.y]]</ref> It only agreed to wait one month and fought off the Thunder Bay members nonlethally.<ref>“Stall them, do no lasting harm!” Milly called out.  “Take no children, release the three I named, in the condition you promised!  Return when done, and wait to be bound again.”<br><br>“The child-stealer will wait for one month, no longer,” Eilee Avila said.  She was right beside the Beorgmann. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/01/18 Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.y]]</ref> It maintained its claim on the three children that were released and had a good chance of reclaiming them.<ref>“It upsets a lot more than that.  Those kids who ran-?  They were released from the woods?”<br><br>Rook looked at Bridge.<br><br>“Yes,” Bridge replied.  “From the clutches of an Other who hasn’t fully released his grip.”<br><br>“Does that mean that if they’re out there on their own, and if they wander, they might end up veering right back into that place they were captured from?”<br><br>"Yes,” Rook replied. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/01/18 Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.y]]</ref>

It was last seen carrying off [[Ann Wint]],<ref>Milly saw the Beorgmann, still wrapped in chains, work his way up a tree, carrying Ann with him- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/01/18 Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.y]]</ref> though she has returned none the worse for wear even claiming the abandoned Nipigon region lordship.

[[Bridge]], possessing [[Milly Legendre]], was planning to bind the Beorgmann again,<ref>“Stay with Milly Legendre for now.  Go get that barrier in her territory working again.  Avery may be able to help you.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/01/22 Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.z]]</ref> but this was not carried out.

Close to the deadline [[Dropped Call]] interceded with [[Avery]] asking that she let the Beorgmann stay unbound and eventually leave.<ref>[[Wild Abandon 18.8]]</ref> Avery contrived to let Milly escape her captivity,<ref>[[Wild Abandon 18.9]]</ref> and the Beorgmann was bound again.<ref>"That was the Dropped Call.  Lord of one of the areas.  If we stopped, he was going to take issue with the fact Milly got free on her own and stopped the Child-thief, the Beorgmann.["] - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/06/04 Excerpt] from [[Crossed with Silver 19.3]]</ref><ref>[[Crossed with Silver 19.12]]</ref>

With the ascension of the [[Alabaster Assembly]] this Beorgmann changes its strategy, waiting for the alabaster to act against it.
