The speaker in white seems confused. "The reports that we have heard
from the battle is that the Orlanthi defeated the Crimson Bat but ceased
their rebellion under the demands of Praxelites, representative of the
Empire of the Sun.

with extreme pace, leaving behind them a white light as they head to the
