That's it, basically, with references to it showing up throughout the book. Especially in Chapter Nine, at the Archives. There also is a quick little
hint in that chapter that at some point in the past some wizard had acted directly against the Steerswomen (that event to be further explored in later books).
And Chapter Nine is also where Hugo concludes that the dragon attack was no accident.
