Powerful marks that rocked her body as they left, forcing everything else out of her mind with the urgency of their passage. Lirael realized that not only did she not know which mark she was up to -she didn't even know the marks that were passing through her head! Strange, unknown marks were pouring out of her into the sending. She had long lost track of where she was up to, or which marks were next-and the golden light was too bright for her to see how much of the sending was done. Eventually she decided to make a Charter Sending of a Dog, basing it on the Statue but something went wrong in the spell - she kept the statue in her lap and the spell ran out of her control - she cast marks she didn't know and invoked Free Magic:īut still the Charter marks roared through her mind. She was found by Lirael (in Lirael - book two) and became her comfort toy. It was the only statue occupying the seven plinths (most likely referring to the Seven who created the Charter) beside the Crystal crypt entombing a Stilken. She was kept hidden (and protected) in the Great Library of the Clayr, in the Moon Room (just off of the Sun Room).

Kibeth wasn't consumed in the construction of the Charter, but rather her mind was preserved as a soapstone statue of a dog. 'I am Kibeth, and I stand against you.' ' - Abhorsen ' As I did then, so do I now,' said the Disreputable Dog. As a Free Magic Being (Or as the Disreputable Dog) The sounds, all from the one bell, were very different to each other, but they made a little marching tune, a dancing song, a parade. Kibeth seemed almost to twitch in her hands, but she controlled it, swinging it backwards, forwards, and then in a sort of odd figure eight. Sabriel took up a careful stance, with the bell held in a curious two-handed grip. Kibeth tends to be rung using two hands in an odd figure of eight, as shown in this excerpt from? Sabriel: Kibeth has a cheerful dancing' tune, and has the second effect of of making spirits go into, farther in, and out of Death. It is able to give and take away the freedom of movement from its target, or in careless hands, its user. Kibeth, or the 'Walker', is a bell that controls movement. Her power was channelled into the Charter but she wasn't consumed by it - her power didn't go into the Great Bloodlines (the only one not to be consumed, except for Astarael).

Kibeth was one of the original Nine Bright Shiners who was there at the beginning, and one of the Seven who agreed to create the Charter.
