"I'll still run it by them."
My mind wandered over the things we now knew. The Taran army was large but only a fraction of it was needed to take Kag'ar Grul. Two other armies allied to the Warlord had taken Dijin Castle and Ebrog Pass. They were very organized with deadly archers and great beasts.
Another large army of the Warlord's was to the south in Shannidar where I had sent Michel. At least one more army was seen by the condor men heading around the north end of Devilspire Mountains. This was at least five different armies. There were probably others.
Cavin Knightshade was still missing. Luey had been murdered by headhunters in Wandering Elms and his brother Abdias did not yet know it. This was a new Uprising and it did not look good for Borderealm.
I tell you these things because there's no one else left who could. From the beginning it was I who had almost made it to Talan Dathar. But the end is another story. This tale has not yet begun. Nor will it, till I introduce...
...the thornmaiden.
My tale is not my own. I go now toward the Court of Elderboughs.
