It seemed to come form Lady Joselyns camp. | Kraken made his rounds that evening.

3rd December
Summer Day -- Taselak
Kraken Snodaert
"Scein Dubhaine has held court in Taselak. The locals feel vaguely gratified that their grievances are heard, but that's all..."
I will have the locals know that the days you feel vaguely gratified are some of the very best times of your life with the benefit of hindsight. Perhaps the people of Taselak need to March to war a little harder and we should crack the whip... Some more... a little louder.
Summer Evening -- Taselak
Kraken Snodaert
Kraken Mused over the reports of the siege of Hartford.
King Rev did his name honor today!
Shield of the realm indeed.
Revs regiment pushed their Siege engines towards the wall ahead of all the other commanders. Catchin' arrows Slings and Javelins all the way.
First at the wall. Thrown back in Turmoil by the lone defender....
Under protection of the shield, archers made short work of the defenders. Excellent work Kraken thought!
18th December
Summer Evening -- Taselak
Joselyn Hensley
A Vignette from Perdan
"Tamsyn!" Elinor called for her steward, dismissing her scribe to relay her latest letter.
"Yes, milady?" An older, heavy-set woman stepped over the few feet from the area designated as the camp kitchen to the (currently) open sided tent Elinor was using as her bedchamber and office.
"Let's set a proper table for supper tonight, we might be having a bit of company." She looked up at the sky and sniffed the breeze, "It looks to be staying clear, so I don't think we'll need a cover. I think we should bring out some of the special things from home."
"Cook won't be able to make too many changes to the menu this late in the day, ma'am," Tamsyn frowned thoughtfully, "We do have plenty of dried whinberries and fish, of course; I think I could persuade her to do some of her special pasties."
"You don't think they'll be too plain for a guest, too...country?"
Tamsyn shook her head fiercely, "Anyone who could turn up their nose at Marjery's pasties filled with the best bits of Dimwood isn't worth knowing, my lady, and that's a fact. I'll see to the table and speak with Cook."

Summer Evening -- Taselak
Kraken Snodaert
Carlos Finally found some time to spend with his captain going over the army stats and the options for next battle.
My lord, the enemy seems to rely heavily on their infantry but their cavalry arm is also strong. They come in three waves.
- Archery to the front line.
- Infantry charge following up the first volley
- Cavalry reinforcement from the back.
Well captain, then we must make sure their arrows fall to the ground, their infantry is met with twice the force and their cavalry meets an avalanche of infantry that is unstoppable.
But lord, they outnumber us as we can see from the scoutings of Toren.
Captain, this is only true if they manage to move as one.
Yes, but lord, their units are battle hardened and disciplined while many of out men are raw recruits.
Captain, you are right about this.
Very wel mylord what will you do about it?
Captian, First I want to make sure we do not lose everything we have. Our archers will only fight till they sustain losses and retreat quickly. Our infantry will start intersperced with arhcers lin loose formation to keep the losses low. Our infantry is very strong, the helbardeers do not die easily and should fight till blood is drawn. Only if they engage the frontline will they be able to de damage. The wedge and Murderous settings will do that for us.
Well mylord, the last 3 battles were a sound defeat, what makes you think this will be different.
Captain, They were, as sure as night follows the day. But that does not mean we are not learning. If the war has tought us one thing it is that spreading out makes us the easiest target. A was of manoevre on the defence leads to disaster time and time again. We will risk it and see if we can wrest Neralle from their control before they strike Their movement is likely to be limited as is ours because of the wintertime.
Very well Mylord, Lets see this done!
Brief the men and make sure they follow the settings.
Aye My Lord, The hammers word is our command.
