Hammer of Dawn,

While you may have routed us from the streets of Arurer Haven, Bloodloch's ambitions are undeterred. While you celebrate around your hearth fires and ring the bells of victory, know that we await you in the shadows, sharpening our swords and growing in Strength. Each battle brings us closer to the inexorable dominion of the Red Empire.

This is only one battle in our great war.

Composed at my desk on Tisday, the 22nd of Slyphian, in the year 9 AC.
