Icthya moves quickly along the tree branches, even
faster than the Children of Vivamort. Within the hour
she encounters a Telmori scouting group of three
wolves and a like number of brethren.

Calling from the canopy, she demands to know the
reasons for their presence in the Forest of Segurane.
After the baying of the wolves subsides, the brethren
give their answer - they have been engaging in a
fighting retreat with an army from the Duchy of Nolos,
who have invades the Kingdom of Seshnela. Their
vanguard scouts had reported the eruption of this
great forest and they sought refuge among the woods
which are tactically more to their liking; their
numbers are few in comparison to the size of the
undead army, but thanks to the tactics of their
immortal leader they have been able to inflict
casualties in much greater proportion than their size.


"All who support the cycle of life and death over the
the chaos of undeath and unlife should support us in
this war", one of the brethren remarks.

Yes; any information you wish to parlay appears as
letters in old Fronelean language on the banner.
