| Four weeks have passed since the Arkhaiopolis of Rhime fell to the Bakram armies in hard-fought battle. Swift on the heels of their victory, it seems certain they would continue their march toward Almorica Castle. Yet the Bakram did not stir. In Phidoch Castle, too, the Dark Knights sat slient. The eyes of Valeria watched to see whether they would at last choose to quit their fastness and cast their lot with war. Not content to sit by and wait, Hierophant Balbatos set out to capture Almorica Castle at the head of a massive host. In crushing the castle's defenses with overwhelming force. He hope to minimize his own losses while deterring the Bakram advance. With the Burnham Massif standing as a natural barrier protecting the seat of Galgastani power in Coritanae, and invading armies would be forced to pass first through Almorica Castle.The terrain at this advantage, Balbatos saw little danger in committing the forces of Coritanae Keep to the siege on Almorica. As the Galgastani armies emerge from the Psonji Weald, word of Balbatos's plans reaches pavel. |
