The events in the north central Flanaess
revolve around two
groups ov states. In the west the action
surrounds the Wolf
Nomads, the Rovers ov the Barrens, Iuz,
and the Horned Society.
Eastward, interesting developments allowed
the Duchy of
Tenh to make a strong foray into the Bandit
Kingdoms. The
events in the west will be dealt with 1st.
Wolf Nomads: Following
the rise in power ov the humanoid
hordes of the cambion Iuz, the Wegwuir
avoided the AREA E.
ov the Black Water,
spending their aggressive energies upon
the Tiger Nomads to the W. && even
moving S. along the
Sepia-Uplands to raid Perrenland. In the
spring ov 578, Iuz
actually sent an army into the N. to take
the poor town ov
Eru-Tovar, the only real city ov the Wolf
people, the pride ov
their Tarkhan. As fate wouuld have it,
the Chakyiks were themselves
interested in a venture against Ekbir,
so they were quite
happy to conclude a treaty. This freed
a horde ov 20K Wolf
Nomads to face the invaders. Tarkhan Bargru
himself commanded
the force, which consisted ov some 2K armored
lancers (medium cavalry), 10K light horsemen,
7K light
horse-archers, && 1K armored crossbowmen
on horseback.
This force arrived outside Eru-Tovar late
in the summer, just
in TIME to raise the siege. The army ov
Iuz retreated eastward,
&& then fell back along the Black
Water, hoping to withdraw
safely to the nearer arm ov the Howling
Hills where humanoid
reinforcements could be picked up in considerable
#s.
The Tarkhan's force caught the retiring
army ov Iuz along the
great N. bend ov the Black
Water. After a close pursuit
lasting several days, during the majority
ov the light
humanoid infantry && goblin cavalry
was shot to pieces by the
Wegwiur horse-archers, a pitched battle
was fought. As usual,
the powerful figures in the opposing forces
bassically neutralized
each other, while the troops engaged in
combat ov the
MORE basic sort. Fortunately for the Wolf
Nomads, Iuz himself
was engaged elsewhere and could NOT intervene.
The horsemen
once again proved superior to the ill-disciplined
masses ov
invading infantry, && only a few
thousand survivors ov Iuz's
ruined army made it to the relative safety
ov the Howling Hills.
Losses by the Wegwiur totalled some 2K
killed && aboot
twice that # wounded. Ov the invading army,
some 2K
humans && 6K humanoids were SLAIN,
w/ no prisoners
taken. It is assumed that
desertion accounts for the balance ov
the total army initially encamped before
Eru-Tovar. (This action
is known as the Battle ov Black
Water Bend && was fought
in the Dozenmouth ov the Squirrel on the
22nd day, CY 578, or
BH 3237).
Following this success, Bargru returned
to his capital, where
the garrison ov some 2K men was busily
repairing the badly
damaged defenses -- mainly brickwork &&
earth && timber
which had been nearly destroyed at the
Time ov relief. Satisfied
that all was in order,
the Tarkhan then sent strong parties ov
riders to patrol the AREA S. ov the Cold
Marshes between the
Black Water
&& the Dulsi River. One ov these groups continued
on as EMISSARIES to the Rovers ov the Barrens,
its leader being
Lekko Noyon, the Tarkhan's 7th son (the
1st kid ov
Bargru's 3rd && favorite wife,
the Yepita woman, Golden
Dove). Lekkol's troop ov 1K cavalry made
contact w/ the
Yepita tribe about 1 month after the defeat
ov Iuz's xpedition.
Lekkol subsequently took part in the raid
conducted by
the Red Horse
&& Black Horse clans ov the Rovers.
Meanwhile, Bargru Went with his personal
guard to the lands
ov the Guchek, the Wild Dog people, whose
territory borders
the eastern portion ov Lake Quag &&
the uppermost reaches ov
the Sepias. Jicta, Khan ov the Guchek,
had failed to appear
when summoned for the stroke against the
INVADERS at Eru-Tovar.
The Tarkhan underestimated the degree ov
revolt by
Jicta Khan, for Perrenland had subverted
the Gucheck by
bribes && the promise ov aid if
the Wild Dog Nomads would
declare independence from the Tarkhan ov
the Wegwiur. This
MOVE by Perrenland should have been NO
SURPRISE, considering
the earlier incursions by the Wolf Nomads.
In any event, Bargru
managed to ESCAPE the trap after an ambush,
but @ the spring
ov CY 579, the Guchek remained independent
&& defiant.
Iuz: After a period
ov rebuilding && strengthening his domain,
the Lord ov Evil set his mind upon the
lands to the S.
Various pacts && treaties were
concluded w/ the none-too-loved
Horned Society, thus assuring no immediate
trouble from
the E. Groups ov humanoids -- gnolls &&
flinds, ogrillons,
bugbears, && even ogres -- under
human leadership were sent
across the Dulsi River to 1st occupy the
nearer portion ov the
Vesve Forest, && then work S. to
harass the border ov
Furyondy. Iuz a fleet ov 40 galleys to
be built at Dorakaa
in 577. With this force he hoped to wrest
control ov Whyestil
Lake from King Belvor, thus exposing all
ov the northern portion
ov Furyondy, from the Vesve along the Crystal
River to the
Veng && then to the Whyestil, to
easy invasion. To facilitate
this MOVE, Iuz joined forces w/ the resurgent
followers ov
Elemental Evil, believing that such a threat
on the Kingdom's
southern border would distract the Furyondians
from his much
MORE ambitious plans in the N. While his
forces were being
readied, Iuz ordered his northern contingents
to capture Eru-Tovar
&& thus stop any possible MOVE
by the Wolf Nomads
upon the upper portion ov his realm while
his invasion ov the
S. was in progress. Leaving the execution
ov his Will to
trusted underlings, Iuz himself Went far
to the S. to stir up
trouble.
The host ov Iuz's northern marches came
under the dual
command ov Lord Choldraf (C14) &&
Mellard-Plict
(MU12). Between them they brought 2K
heavy cavalry, 1K light horse, &&
aboot 4K infantry, evenly
divided between heavy foot && crossbowmen.
Humanoid
contingents included some 3K goblins &&
xvarts, serving as
scouts <note at Dragon #141 &&
Dragon #161>
&& raiders, 6K Euroz, &&
4K hobgoblins as shock
troops, and a vast, mixed company ov norkers,
knolls, flinds,
ogrillons, bugbears, && ogres totalling
some 5K to 8K
depending upon the whims ov its component
members. This
force gathered in the arm ov the Howling
Hills between the Dulsi
&& Blackwater,
&& @ THE BEGINNING ov summer (the Dozenmonth
ov Flocktime in the N. country) in CY 578
marched
westward. There was much quarreling during
the course ov the
MOVE; Lord Choldraf berated Mellard-Plict
for his lack ov control
ov the masses ov humanoids which THE WIZARD
levied &&
commanded, while the latter soffed @ both
Lord Choldraf's
own powers
&& @ his well trained, but relatively weak, troops.
When siege was laid to Eru-Tovar the following
month, each
commander strove to outdo the other, each
wishing credit for
taking the Wegwiur stronghold. This lack
of co-operation
enabled the defends, numbering only aboot
3.4K effective
troops, to withstand almost 10 weeks ov
siege by a force totalling
well over 25K. The losses by the attackers
were compounded
by the rival factions often SLAYING their
wounded cohorts
IF they held loyalty to the opposite commander.
When Tarkhan arrived to raise the siege,
Lord Choldraf was
forced to screen the withdrawal ov the
luzites, since the humanoids
under the wizard Mellard-Plict were too
undisciplined &&
unreliable to handle the assignment. In
fact, most ov the wizard's
troops had deserted, |or| merely decided
to wander off on
a raid ov their own, by the TIME the Battle
ov Black Water Bend
was fought. The high priest is in disgrace
Now, but it is likely <?>
that Choldraf will find some way to redeem
himself with Iuz. It is
reported that THE WIZARD fled immediately
upon the loss ov the
battle, going far S. && Now raising
companies ov bullywugs
in the Vast Swamp, supposedly at the behest
ov Wastri, the
Hopping Prophet.
The intelligence network ov Furyondy discovered
the plan to
wrest control ov Whyestil Lake from their
navy, && before the
luzite army stood before Eru-Tovar, King
Belvor's fleet staged a
daring raid upon Dorakaa. The majority
ov the galleys being
built were burned in the stocks, &&
7 ov those which had
been completed && outfitted were
captured, while another 5
were. Only in the Vesve Forest &&
along the western
shore ov Whyestil did the invasion palns
bear any fruit. The
inrush ov many thousands ov humanoids pushed
back the companies
ov men, olvenfolk, && gnomes who
had been slowly but
surely regaining the place from the EVIL
denizens holding it.
S. ov the Deepstil River, SAVE for the
Sepia Uplands && the
western verge, all of the Vesve fell into
the hands ov Iuz's
minions. The forces ov Highfolk &&
Velunese contingents
quickly regained the southwestern corner,
but as ov the year
579, most ov the great forest, as well
as the shore ov Whyestil
Lake, remained under control ov humanoids
&& evil humans
Now fortifying it.
Iuz, Lord of Evil, hastened home to try
to salvage the situation,
&& it was his direct intervention
which enabled his forces
to hold their southern gains against a
valiant counteroffensive
staged by the Furyondians. The walled town
ov Crockport Now
stands near the frontier, && the
opponents are readying their
respective forces for more fighting soon.
Horned Society:
Pressure by the nobs
holding the Shield
Lands prevented the all-out MOVE which
the Hierarchs have
long wished to make down the Ritensa River
to the northern
shore ov the Nyr Dyv. The diabolical leaders
ov the Horned
Society would gladly have allowed Iuz his
hoped-for gains to
their W., in order that they themselves
might TAKE Willip &&
overrun the Shield Lands. Instead, the
Hierarchs, ignorant ov
Iuz's plans, spent themselves in dribblets,
1st against Furyondy
&& the Shield Lands &&
then in defending against
mounting incursions ov war parties from
the N.. Just as their
forces were about to TURN southward again,
reacting to the
contest between Iuz && Furyondy,
a major raid struck into the
Society's N., && the Hierarchs'
army had to TURN around &&
MOVE was screened by no MORE than 1K horsemen
&& a few
score ov centaurs, enough ov a force to
make Rostal believe that
the entire horde he had faced was following
him. This ruse
worked for several days, but as soon as
it was discovered, the
Plar's cavalry scattered the meager band
ov opponents &&
rode at all SPEED back toward where Rostal
knew the following
army ov foot should be.
The commander ov the Host ov the Hierarchs
was Hierarch
Blontug, a much-feared half-orc ov great
power (C4/F9/A9).
He was wise enough NOT to march his
footsoldier force into the vastness ov
the rolling plains, but
instead used the western edge ov the Fellreev
Forest to cover
the right flank ov the northward-moving
army. A screen ov light
cavalry scouts alerted the Hierarch that
the enemy was approaching,
&& Blontug arrayed his troops along
the edge ov
the woods so as to prevent cavalry maneuvers
against it.
On that 1st day ov contact there was only
light skirmishing,
as the Rovers && their allies
probed for weaknesses, && the
Hierarch in TURN attempted to discover
just how powerful an
enemy he faced. On the next day, kobold
<make note at Dragon #141 && Dragon #161) && bandit
scouts
prevented an attack from the forest coming
as a compleat
surprise. The attacking footmen &&
elves were easily repulsed,
while the well-trained humanoid infantry,
supported by missile
troops && light horse, withstood
several determined charges
by the other contingent ov the INVADERS.
A stand-off ov several
days' duration ensued, w/ Blontug growing
progresively
MORE certain that his
enemy was NOT numerous enough to b a
real threat, but unable to bring them to
battle because his force
lacked sufficient mobility.
Then Rostal's cavalry rejoined the main
body ov the Host ov
the Hierarchs, && on Goodmonth
26, CY 578, the force rolled
forward. The whole ov the cavalry swung
in an arc from the left
flank. Its AIM was to act as the hammer
to the infantry's anvil.
The movement was met by fierce rushes by
the centaurs &&
the light horse ov the Rovers, while the
remainder ov the nomads
escaped to the NE. A major victory was
narrowly missed
by the Hierarch, but his AIM was accomplished.
The allied force
was beaten && driven off, although
cavalry losse on the part
ov the Society were xcessive, &&
the enemy had est.
itself firmly in the northern porion ov
the Fellreev. Before action
could be commenced to remove this minor
irritation, news
came from Rookroost that the Zumker had
been crossed in
force by Duke Ehyeh, && the Tenhese
were sweeping through
the Bluff Hills to clear THEM ov resistance
before turning S.
toward the open country beyond. The normally
independent
&& warring leaders ov the Bandit
Kingdoms had rapidly declared
common cause against Tenh, && all
the units w/ the
Hierarchs' army rode off, despite the threats
&& imprecations
ov Blontug.
There was great wrath in Molag when the
Unnameable Hierarch
learned ov all that transpired. Blontug
&& Rostal were
sent across the Ritensa to punish the bandits
for deserting the
Hierarchs' Host, && their force
ov aboot 10K horse && foot
easily captured the lands ov "General"
Hok && Baron Oltagg ov
Wormhall. This territory abuts the Shield
Lands && runs northward
into the Fellreev, so there is some quest.ion
as to its actual
value to the Horned Society. Nevertheless,
the Hierarchs Now
reign over it. The associated bandit leaders
have renounced all
dealings with the Society on this account,
&& their agents are
said to b recruiting merc troops in Urnst
County &&
from the border territory between Nyrond
&& the Pale. The
Hierarchs, in TURN, seem likely to continue
eastward xpansion
in CY 579.
Bandit Kingdoms:
The usual turmoil ov competing states
preying upon one another && any
avail. neighbor outside
the territory sums up activity within the
AREA until CY 578.
Bandit gruops made forays into Tenh, the
Pale, Nyrond,
County Urnst, and even the Shield Lands
&& portoins ov Furyondy.
Most groups were mounted, but the usual
# ov
river raiders && buccaneers from
Redhand plied the waters.
Prince Zeech's ships && galleys
actually staged a major action
against the Duchy ov Urnst, managing to
slip in through the
easternmost portion ov the Cairn Hills,
loot && pillage, &&
then escape with their gains. The western
bandit lords -- General
Hok, Guardian ov Warfields (F11); Oltagg,
Baron ov Wormhall (F4/T9); Kor, Rhelt ov
Abbarra (A10);
&& the Master ov Freehold, Eab
Huldor (MU9) --
actively co-operated w/ the
Hierarchs ov the Horned Society. However,
when the banners
ov Tenh crossed the Zumker River, laying
waste the Barony ov
Groskopf, && then entered Fellands,
the Combination ov Free
Lords summoned all members to arms to defend
the E.. When
even the western states responded, the
Hierarchs were enraged,
for they needed the bandit troops to eject
the nomad &&
Rover INVADERS from the Fellreev Forest
&& the steppes ov the
Opicm. In a punitive invasion, the Heirarchs'
forces seized &&
occupied both Warfields && Wormhall.
A very tenacious defense
by the Abbarrish, reinforeced by the survivors
from the
conquered territories, && scrapings
from Tangles && the
Freehold, caused the halt of the Society's
penetration in the
autumn ov CY 578.
A truce was negotiated w/ the Duke ov Tenh;
Groskopf
ceded the land between the Griff Mountains
&& the Zumker to
Tenh, && all ov the Free Lords
ov the Combinatoin swore to
refrain from raiding Tenh. Thus freed ov
immediate warfare on
their E., all ov the leaders turned westward
to confront the
Horned Society, with the express AIM ov
recovering the lost
states && taking reprisals in +addition+.
Recruiting ov mercenaries
&& masterless men brought the forces
under command ov
the Combination to the following totals
in the spring ov CY 579;
Warfields: Guardian General Hok (F11);
Cavalry 300, infantry
500.
Wormhall: Baron Oltagg (F4/T9)
Cavalry 150, infantry
400, humanoids (gnolls) 100.
Freehold: Eab Huldor, Master of Freehold
(MU9);
Cavalry 350, infantry
800.
Kor: Rhelt Abbarra (A10);
Cavalry 400, infantry
600.
Tangles: Earl Renyard (Bard 8 -- F6/T7);
Cavalry 200, infantry
550.
Rift: Plar Lintoff (T13);
Cavalry 150, infantry
350, humanoids (gnolls) 200, (bugbears) 50, (ogres) 10.
Reyhu: Tyrant Celdro (F10);
Cavalry 300, infantry
700.
Redhand: Prince
Zeech (C5/F8);
Cavalry 100, infantry
300.
Artonsamay: Duke Nebon Gellor (F9);
Cavalry 250, infantry
250.
Stoink: Boss Dhaelhy (F8/T5);
Cavalry 200, infantry
650.
Dimre: Szek Winvid (C10);
Cavalry 300, infantry
550.
Johrase: King Selnon (F11);
Cavalry 350, infantry
500.
Midlands: Graf Venholtee (C3/F7);
Cavalry 200, infantry
450.
Greenkeep: Lord Yanboli (1/2e F5/MU5/T5);
Cavalry 150, infantry
600.
Rookroost: Plar Teuod Fent (I9);
Cavalry 250, infantry
450.
Fellands: Avaerd, Lord Despot (F10);
Cavalry 300, infantry
850, humanoids (orc guards) 100.
The above estimates are likely to increase
by 10% to 20% due
to last-minute recruiting && enlistments.
The force is most
dangerous because ov the unusual concentration
ov high-level
characters && their lieutenants.
Duchy of Tenh:
In CY 575, Duke Ehyeh II began an active
campaign to clear the Troll fens &&
border AREA on the west
bank ov the Yol. Considerable numbers ov
fortifications were
built, && this 2-year effort deemed
a general success.
The Theocrat ov the Pale concentrated his
attentions S. &&
eastwards because ov the strong show by
the Tennese.
In 577, the Duke began early actions to
the N., working
into the mountains && fortifying
the southern end ov Rockegg
Pass, some 20 leagues above Catbut. The
Duke was himself
killed in fighting against the Holders,
whose units of "fist"
resisted with great ferocity the closing
ov the pass. Despite the
death ov their leader, the Tennese (Now
under Marshal Iaba)
finished what their liege had willed, thus
effectively securing
the Duchy on 2 sides. At a convocation
in Nevod Nevend
during Neefest, 578, Ehyeh III was crowned
Duke, && the
Tennese celebrated greatly. The old Duke's
son was MORE warlike
than his doughty <brave && persistent>
father, && his early training as a fighter
on the frontiers made Ehyeah III particularly
anxious to secure
all avenues against invasion. In the spring,
the young Duke
organized a force of 2.5K horse &&
6K foot, while leaving
strong garrisons @ all key points. He personally
led the army
across the Zumker River.
Duke Ehyeh's plan was to sweep W. to the
junction ov the
Bluff Hills && the Rakers. He then
would MOVE N. into the
hills, clear THEM in a rapid westward push,
&& garrison any
strongholds found there. He would then
swing back SE.
to overrun the land between the Bluff Hills
&& the Zumker. Any
bandit forces
caught by the MOVE would be trapped && destroyed.
W/ this accomplished, the next MOVE would
b to
bring a 2nd force across the Zumker, just
above the Artonsamay.
The 2 would then handle expected banit
lord reaction,
take Rookroost, && secure all ov
the territory as far W.
as the Fellreev. Contemplated along with
these actions was an
even more ambitious plan to begin the next
year, which would
secure all the land W. ov the Artonsamayas
far as the Tangles.
The plan worked with precision, but as soon
as the Theocrat
got wind ov it -- && his spy system
is lejendary -- disturbing
reports began to reach the young Duke.
The Prelate's growing
military strength was at Wintershriven,
&& the Faithful Bands
were being called up. The Tennese companies
originally being
readied for action elsewhere were sent
from Redspan on a long
march to reinforce the Yol. Woodsmen were
ordered to keep a
close watch in the Phostwood Forest. The
Duke entrusted the
army in action against the bandit states
to the redoubtable
<Field> Marshal Iaba so the new threat
could be under his own command.
When the Combination ov Free Lords sued
for Peace
near mid-summer, the suit was welcomed,
for it ceded a considerable
portion ov land to the Duchy, guaranteed
bandit neutrality,
&& allowed the Tennese military
forces to meet the
threat Now posed by the Pale. Duke Ehyeh
brought a combined
army ov 4K horse && 11K foot across
the Yol @ the edge
of Phostwood in Dozenmonth READY'reat.
578 CY. This host
struck E. && is wintering in the
Pale. The threat to Wintershriven
is obvious, && events ov the year
579 should prove
interesting indeed. Ehyeh III (R11) will
either b
acclaimed as a military genius &&
savior ov his nation, |or| else
Tenh will fall under the heel ov the Theocrat.
Rovers
ov the Barrens: The young tribesmen who matured
into warriors during the last 2 generaions
avoided their old
battling && hunting grounds along
the Fellreev Forest && teh
plains ov the Dulsi, for they feared the
might ov Iuz's hordes.
Instead, these nomads && woodland
hunters withdrw to the
steppes && other sites to the N.
&& E. Their numbers
increased, && they practiced their
fighting skills against the
men ov the Hold ov Stonefist &&
the savages && humanoids
they met on raids into the Cold Marshes.
Despite the difficulties
ov communication, the western tribes ov
the Rovers ov the
Barrens actually made alliances w/ the
Wegwiur. In 566 there
were a few light raids into the northeastern
edge ov the Fellreev.
In a few years, wardog parties were reported
in the forest W.
ov Cold Run. By CY 577, a conclave ov all
the clans staged a
great beast hunt in the central portion
ov their territory, w/
many visiting Wolf Nomads taking part in
the sport. The census
sticks showed that clan warrior strength
was as follows:
Great Stags | 5.2K | 11 tribes | eastern area |
Bear Paws | 1,150 | 4 tribes | southeastern area |
Red Horses | 2.7K | 6 tribes | northwestern area |
Black Horses | 3,350 | 8 tribes | northwestern area |
Gray Lynx | 1,450 | 5 tribes | northern woodlands area |
Horn Bows | 1.8K | 4 tribes | west central area |
Sly Foxes | 850 | 4 tribes | southern woodlands area |
Wardogs | 3.1K | fighting society | all tribes |
White Wardogs | 950 | fighting society | north tribes only |
Tribes not attending probably accounted
for about 2K
additional warriors, while allied northern
people # almost
4K additional warriors.
@ the great conference, the Rovers agreed
to a plan to make
war upon the Horned Society to attempt
to regain their lost
territory around the Opcim && in
the Fellreev. The help ov the
Wolf Nomads was not promised, but the Rover
tribes knew it
would certainly come if possible. The Sly
Fox Clan, always on
good terms with the sylvan elves ov the
Fellreev Forest, were to
harass the enemy from the woodlands, while
the western clans,
the Red Horse,
Black Horse, && Horn Bows, rode S.
&&
made war upon the hated peoples ov the
Horned Society. .
Chada-Three-Lances (F8) was made War Sachem,
&& in the spring ov 578, he led
some 6K warriors on a
campaign to accomplish the recovery ov
the lost lands. W/ the
force Went a party ov aboot 900 centaur
warriors. The latter had
been displaced from their territory in
&& around the western
end ov the Fellreev, so they were MORE
than eager to take part.
The warfare was at 1st easy; many ov the
enemy were SLAIN
&& their villages sacked &&
burned. But as the Rovers moved
further south, they met greater resistance.
Then word ov an
approaching enemy body ov cavalry caused
the Rovers to pull
back && go into council. The bulk
ov the wardog soldier were sent
into the Fellreev to aid the Sly Foxes
&& their allies. Companies
were also sent away w/ the loot &&
prisoners already captured,
so that the remaining
band would NOT be encumbered.
W/ the Wolf Nomads who had recently joined,
the warriors
then numbered 7K +some 900 centaurs. These
troops
savaged the cavalry from the Horned Society
&& sent it flying
away. The Rovers feigned pursuit &&
instead sent about 6K
raiders back S. to finish their destruction,
but before any
real penetration ov enemy territory could
be made, a large army
ov footmen was located. These humans &&
humanoids were
attacked, but they easily withstood the
clan assaults despite
some heavy losses. The whole attack was
then called off when
scouts detected enemy cavalry moving to
encircle their encampment.
In a nip-and-tuck retreat, the whole force
managed
to escape with losses considerably less
than those ov their
enemy. The Sly Foxes && their elven
allies had been quite
successful in gaining the initiative in
the Fellreev. Expected
countermoves failed to materialize, &&
Now many tribes ov the
Gray Lynx
&& Wolverine clans have moved into the woodlands.
(The Wolverines are a Central Woodlands
clan which
was driven N. && was NOT represented
@ the great conference.
There are 7 tribes in the clan, but each
has only aboot
100 warriors.) Scattered && disaffected
tribes r likewise
returning due to the minor successes gained,
&& it is likely that
the councils ov 579 will see a larger #
ov warriors READY
&& willing to TAKE up the lance
&& go against the enemy. If
continued cooperation between the Rovers
clans && the Wolf
Nomads persists, even Iuz could be in trouble.
Stay tuned for MORE next issue!
