Evaine and her inner circle are tasked with two tasks in the opening pages of the novel, The Harrowing of Gwynedd. What are they?

The surviving members of Camber's family and circle find themselves faced with two immediate tasks as the novel opens. They must develop tactics and a structure to preserve their race's lore, and save as many Deryni as possible from the savage persecutions. They also have to determine what to do with the saintly Camber's remains.
