• Warmaster Efut: The Orrian siege weapons are down! You did it, Warmaster!
• Centurion Greyclaw is poised to strike at Vidius Castrum. Have you spoken with him? It will be a hard fight.
• Why is Vidius Castrum so important?
• I should seek him out.
• Vidius Castrum is not only a major source of the Flame's magical powers, it is also the home of one of their Tribunes. Those two facts are not mere coincidence.
• Time to go on the offense. That's why you're here.
• It seems like the castrum grants the tribune power, and vice versa. It's a symbiotic relationship. Besides the obvious advantage of killing the tribune, it will also weaken the Flame magic in the region.
• I have to go. Thanks for the information.
• Now that we've taken the castrum, you can know the truth behind the assault.
• I don't think I want to hear this.
• Tacitus didn't know, but the Order had no interest in the castrum. We were testing the viability of grawl as an attack force.
• And how did the grawl do?
• Intersting. I have to go.
• The Ash legion was all too eager to accept our aid in the assault, especially with one of their own representing the Order. They may not have known the whole story, but they won out in the end.
• I guess it all worked out.
• Grawl magic is still a mystery to us, but it has great potential. We just need to figure out the best way to herd them into service.
• But you lied to Tacitus and Salus?
• Sounds like a success.
• The Order is lending its support to Legionnaire Salus Swordblood. Together with her Ash Legion troops, they hope to take down Atrox Castrum.
• Why is the Order of Whispers involved?
• Maybe I should go help.
• Tacitus Swordshatter, the Order liaison, has been ordered to clear the route to Haymal Gore. The Order has a shipment that needs to get through. Capturing Atrox Castrum is the first step of accomplishing his goal.
• A shipment of what?
• You sure ask a lot of questions. The contents aren't important. What matters is winning the castrum.
• Right. See ya around.
• Welcome soldier. What brings you to this little slice of paradise?
• Greetings, my valorous child. The white stag spoke to me of your deeds. I'm so proud of you.
• Just looking around. Bye.
• This is Burnt Hollow. One of the few footholds we've been able to maintain in this scorched and smoking region—at least, until the Flame Legion finds us, that is. For now, it's the command center for all military operations in the area.
• Trahearne: No time to celebrate. The undead are making one last push!
• We're the brain behind the attacks on Vidius and Atrox Castrums. There are any number of smaller targets we're also hitting at any given time, but the castrums are the real focus.
• Tell me more about Vidius Castrum.
• Tell me more about Atrox Castrum.
• What is the Ash Legion's role in all of this?
• (groan)
• An Ash Legion centurion named Greyclaw is leading the assault on Vidius Castrum. Greyclaw has ground support from the Blood Legion and a battery of Iron Legion cannons on the ridge, when they can keep the Flame Legion off them.
• What's so important about the castrum?
• Fyra Redtail
• The Iron Legion installed an impressive battery of guns on the ridge above the castrum. Unfortunately, they need operators, and the Flame Legion keeps kicking them out.
• General Almorra Soulkeeper: The Orrians dare to strike at our keep? Well, they shall see how a cornered lion fights!
• I should go see these cannons for myself.
• The castrum is both a source of magical power and the seat of a Flame Legion tribune. It's vitally important that we take and hold that site.
• You mentioned big guns?
• The Ash Legion is officially leading the assault in Fireheart Rise. We have a certain nack for getting in behind enemy lines. We have the support of Blood and Iron, as well as Pact forces, but we are the command and driving force here.
• What's the Pact doing here?
• They seem to have their own motives, ones they don't want to share. But they are able bodied fighters, and I'm happy to have their support.
• Atrox Castrum is another key strategic location. The lava shamans from the Flame Legion use it to perform some sort of ritual. The Order of Whispers seems particularly interested in helping, and they've been trying to recruit grawl of all things to help.
• Grawl?
• The Order of Whispers is helping?
• I'm not sure what angle they're playing, but the Order has agents actively trying to get the grawl shamans to help. They think that the grawl magic will help us in the fight, we'll just have to see I suppose.
