Aalmon is wise in the ways of great sage school of the Monebanc

The assembled throng murmurs in approval.

"Oh Lord Aalmon; the rebellion in the south has been pacified, praise
the Moon. Or brother of the sky, Yelm, has seen to it that the
rebellious storm gods now give allegiance to the Empire of the Sun,
rather than wage war on the Empire of the Moon.

But there is a worse matter; in the ancient holy and chaotic land of
Dorastor, a mighty army of broos has issued forth."

"Of this we know; the Red Army led by Jar=Eelseeks to crush the
rebellion led by Dranz Goloi."

"With these two mighty wars, we think the time is ripe to destroy the
weapons of the Red Army, to sabotage their wagons and sure for peace
with both the broo and the riders of Pent. Do you not concur?"

"We shall indeed assist you in this great journey!"
