At the end of the year, the Great Oak (in which the rat god Hobb was imprisoned by a former Starwife, Ysabelle, in The Oaken Throne) falls down because of heavy winds. She solemnly warns that Audrey will not be the Starwife for much longer and will know great loss. While in Fennywolde, Gervase encounters the now-mad Alison Sedge, the field mouse who was jealous of Audrey and blamed her for the death of her love interest Jenkin Nettle in The Crystal Prison. Gervase includes journal entries throughout telling of his stay in Greenwich as well as his travels to Fennywolde and Holeborn to ask William 'Twit' Scuttle and Arthur Brown to tell their stories. There are entries for all the days of the year, and every major event in the main novels is given a date. He is commanded by her to create an almanack to record the lore and traditions of the mice, squirrels, bats, and rats.
