Naked Empire pg. 100-154

Richard learned from the book when the ungifted came about, the history of them, and some of there unique characteristics from the Pillars of Creation. When they were just starting to be occur, they had become part of the society, and their ungifted trait passed to all of the offspring, so soon there were enough of them that they were threatening the existence of magic. They were banished, and sent to the Old World; although now with the barrier dividing the Old World down, they have still not yet been seen.
The perspective jumped to Zed walking the city of Aydindril. He informs us of the activity of the Imperial Order's army after Zed activated the trap he set for them. They received heavy casualties but with their numbers can still continue. Zed has also started to notice the appearance of the races in the New World too which means the problem is not contained to just where Richard is. At the end, Adie may be missing because she is not were Zed expected her to be, but he does not seem worried.
The perspective is back to Richard, and a man named Saber has found them to deliver them a message from Nicci. She found the object that Richard kept referencing to, and sent a message telling him what she knew about it and what she had to go do. The object is some kind of warning that something is now loose, and I believe it has to do with the two boundaries that now appear to be gone, and it may even be linked to the appearance of the races.
Richard is then suddenly attacked by a large group of people who appear to want to capture him alive, but change their minds after he kills several of the attackers. Richard and his company are successful in defending themselves, but Kahlan has to used her power on one of them.
