Protectorate of Menoth

Into the Flame

Captain Tasara Sarokar leads her Daughters of the Flame Unit (referred to as a "hand") through the streets of occupied Sul. Their acrobatics take them unseen through the streets until they reach their targets: Gun Mage Adepts. The Daughters strike, and the fight is between the nimble Temple Flameguard fighting on their own territory and Gun Mages who can shoot through walls. Ten bodies litter the street and Captain Tasara Sarokar leads her remaining Daughters from the fight.

Khador

Charge of the Uhlan

Yurik is a members of an Iron Fang Uhlans Unit that fights with mercenary Jack Marshals and discover an intercepted request for reinforcements. The Uhlans, trained to fight against heavily armored warjacks from horseback, rush to join Forward Kommander Sorscha Kratikoff. Their numbers are too small, but they are required to stop a Menite incursion. Though they are outnumbered three-to-one, Yurik recognizes that the odds are somewhat balanced by the presence of the Khadoran Warcaster.

In later years he would remember that third charge and the cold Sorscha brought to the battle.

Impressment on the Dirge

Khadoran Midshipman Ivdan Koposin is on deck of an ironhull when a maintenance error blows the forward guns on the arrival of a Cryxian ship. They are overrun by revenants and taken aboard. Taken to near starvation and thirst, Ivdan is offered a choice: join Captain Rengrave or die. He agrees and praises the Dragonfather.

Mercenaries

Flushing Out the Black Swan

Magnus the Warlord hires Jarok Croes and his Croe's Cutthroats Unit. The mercenaries head into town in daylight, and find that Magnus's benefactor is a Vinter loyalist. When they leave, they meet up with deserter Long Gunners and go to intercept Lord Commander Stryker (referred to by Croe as "the ponce").

The mercenaries ambush Stryker's small force, but Captain Allister Caine cuts them down with pistol fire. Unexpectedly, Roln, one of the cutthroats, takes a bullet that was somehow meant for Jarok Croe. Croe survives, and the last thing Roln sees is a standoff between Magnus and Stryker.
