Vener, Year of Severus, 16, I.R., the 5th day of Winter, Great Dunes
------------------
Dawn broke the night sky like a chick emerging from its egg. Lord Prestonheim and the rest of his allied commanders, set-up their formations from the stratagem they made all night. There were black circles on the bottom part of their eyes, a sign of the sleepless night they had to conquer in order to execute the proper counterattack against the sly Ardant tactics.
Lord Prestonheim rode his horse and went into the protruding sandstone overlooking the sandy plains. He saw both his allied commanders and the younger commanders formed their formations. The younger and feisty commanders followed the stratagem laid out to them by Senator Lucresia.
