Four weeks have passed since the Arkhaiopolis of Rhime fell to the Bakram armies in hard-fought battle. But the fierce resistance of the Holy Knight Lanselot and his men took a heavy toll on the attack and the Bakram were forced to halt their advance. Meanwhile, duke Ronwey watched from Almorica Castle as the raids on his outlying holdings grew bolder, even as his own forces were occupied with the supporters of Balbatos, who had declared against the Walister. He knew that something had to be done. To that end, the duke assembled a great host at Almorica Castle to stand against the Bakram threat, while at the same time secretly despatching an envoy to treat with the Dark Knights and delay them taking the field. Having denied the duke, Denam went into hiding, waiting for the right time to strike at his former lord. Outraged at such betrayal, the duke named Denam a traitor, placing a bounty on his head and tasking Sir Leonar to hunt him down and kill him. Now fearing for his life, Denam makes ready to leave Port Asyton.
