[Eyvind Redbeard]

6th Brightening of the First Cycle of the Month of Kalendryas in the season of Winter; Era I of the Celestine Mandate, Era XV Post Fractum.

Word had come that Peda had been attacked. Not attacked, ruined, destroyed or worse. The survivors that had arrived in Taralon brought tales of dread with them and Eyvind couldn't stay still and do nothing. Darkblade had been awaken by his roar and his call to arms. All leaves had been cancelled, all Legionnaires had to present themselves to service and be ready to depart at dawn. And dawn had come and the Manjet was ready. Rows upon rows of Imperial Legionnaires, horses and wagons took the road west. Leading their march was the Acting Provost of the Legion, mounting his black Carmelyn Warsteed and wearing his finest armor and weapons. It was time to spilt some Orcish blood. As he rode he remembered the speech he had done the troops previous to their departure:

"Men! Companions! Legionnaires! As you have heard, War is at our very doorstep. The coward and fealthy Greenskins attack the city of Peda and who knows what other cities of Man in Sheria. They enslaved or killed all they found in their way. I say: ENOUGH!!! Enough of this barbarism! Enough of sitting idle watching these pawns of Aeternia run freely in the lands of the Empire! It is time to act! Not to react! That is why we march now, we march west, we march to WAR!!!"

Now, in the middle of all the sound of marching feet and hooves he could still hear the roar of the Manjet in answer to his speech. They were prepared to make the Orcs pay for their sins and they wouldn't fail.

In the front of the Legion rode the five hundred cavalry Legionnaires, they would advance ahead of the army to arrive as soon as possible in the proximities of the Orcish forces. There they would engage and wait for the rest of the Legion to arrive. As the candlemarks passed the Legion advanced further into Sheria, they marching directly to Auster and from there they would move to Hiems and from there to Peda.

Orders had been given so that the Candanceburg's Harvesters would take the place of the Manjet in the Training Fields, with the help of detachments of the Blades of Carmelya.
