Sword of Ice by Mercedes Lackey

Eighteen short stories about Valdemar by various persons including Michelle Sagara AKA Michelle West. Misty wrote Sword of Ice with John Yezeguielian and co-authors a couple of the other stories.

Where did Vanyel got that piece of rose quartz? How was Savil adopted by k'Treva? How did the Karsite military feel about Solaris? What did Quentin do after the Skybolts moved out of Bolthaven? Do hertasi make good matchmakers?
