[Eyvind Redbeard]

Tarfuss

The Vagaran smiled at the show of enthusiasm coming from his friend. Finally they were all together again, the Legion's boys were gathered and ready to shake Taralon with their deeds just like they'd done in Aelyria Prime. The idea of gathering them all in a tavern and drinking some ale while telling stories was appealing to the Daekin.

"Then a drink we shall have!"

He listened to Tarfuss' last comment and laughed.

"These are just tools of an Officer, sadly I spend more time here than I really want. Now go get used to the barracks and the men. You are assigned to my Centuri, the First of the Second Daos. Now be gone before I decide I need a receptionist!"

He joked.

Eyvind raised his head from some reports he was checking and grinned, he had never requested Tarfuss to follow the rules that much around him but it was understandable since there could be others listening.

"Spear Daekin. Sit, please."

The Vagaran said as he stood up and pointed to the map behind his desk.

"The Province of Sheria."

He paused for a moment so Tarfuss could see the outlines of the said Province.

"A troubled part of the Empire. Right now the Orcish Horde amasses and builds defenses along the borders of what it claims to be their rightful territory. The region they claim as theirs contains two cities that once belonged to the Empire, Narim and Autumnus. From what I was informed the Orcs conquered both cities some Eras ago and the Legions' attempt of reclaiming them back ended in complete defeat. Ever since the Sherianite Legions have been licking their wounds and kept an eye on the Orcs' activities while the greenskins simply sit on their mighty fortress, Ire. Unfortunately those eyes haven't spot much until now, at least something that could help on a new offensive. I have been ordered to take a group of twenty men to the mountains and find a way until Ire's backdoor without being noticed. The path is intended to allow the Legions to open a new front in the attack on the fortress and maybe with some luck, enter it without being spotted.

To this mission I have selected the best men I could find. Provost Imperatis Sheng Kaldres assigned two shapeshifting Dracons to the group and I managed to get two mystics of the Mage Corps from Imperatis Cassandra Saddon. Cyrus and Teig will come as well, and maybe a third person if my request in Prime was accepted. The plan is simple. We will use some boats to go up the Black River and then split in two groups of ten. I will lead a group and find a way to Narim Castellum and from there to Ire while Cyrus will lead the other and find a way through the mountains to Ire. With some luck we will meant up and retreat by the safest of both paths, if not each group will retreat in good order. You will follow in Cyrus’ group.”

He finished his speech and waited for questions.
