Shadowstorm
Shadowstorm
“Mounts and men fought fatigue with every league they covered, but fear for their friends and families pulled them ever north and west. They had slept little. Roen and the priests kept them all fed on magical fare and they ate in the saddle. They stopped during the day only for Dawnmeet and as the stout Saerbian mounts required. Leagues of whipgrass-covered plains lay behind them. Leagues more still lay before them.
Only the sound of thundering hooves marked their passage. The men did not jest o...r chat with one another as they rode, as was their habit. Their usual camaraderie had surrendered to quiet purposefulness. The battle with Ordulin’s forces had driven home the hard realization that civil war had started. Matters would soon get much worse, Abelar knew, and much bloodier.
The unoccupied road strerched before them like a ribbon. They passed villages from time to time but slowed only to warn the villagers that war was coming and that they should flee south.
Fear for Elden consumed Abelar’s thoughts.MoreLess
