:: '''"...so as I was sayin' sir, we were mostly on the run. When we weren't planning the next jaunt, we was masking the marks we'd left behind, an' when we wasn't doin' that we was ... I was makin' the camp for everyone. It was alot more of the same when we hooked up with the Bluff resistance, then moved into the Erethor. The boys were more and more after that... there's many folk hiding in the Green Marches willin' to fight if you can wrangle them... It weren't until Mathue died that I joined up with the tree-herders going west..."''' Kaiel finds himself lying on the stone floor but still slowly sharpening his sword, an instinct by now... its always best to have a sharp blade. | :: '''"...so as I was sayin' sir, we were mostly on the run.

:: '''"...so it weren't much of the military you'd think. I'd heard about my pa fighting with the Freeriders down south, but I haven't been much further than eyeshot of the Burning Line. I learned to ride across the Westlands... The elves though... they're somethin' else... I thought we was good at huntin', trackin' and the like. But the tree-herders, they run the woods like it moves out of the way for them. An' they can hear it... or at least they could. I hadn't met Lord Eoatin but the remainders of the 'Brigands' were pulled into his companies, we'd worked it out to be liaisons with the dozens of militia of the Marches. And they trained us. It was most like what you'd think a military unit training would be like. And some of the men actually said they could here the speaking of the trees... Master Eranon spoke of it earlier... 'the Whisperer'... I couldn't ever hear it though... the elves, they used it like another weapon. They'd use it to lead us into raids and listen again to lead us out of ambushes. It was sorta spooky. I'd never seen magic like that. But it worked!"''' Kaiel noticeably gets a little excited in remembering his adventures... | :: '''"...so it weren't much of the military you'd think.

− | ::: | + | :::* Winter Maudre: known for going into hopeless situations emerging with fewer casualties than any other. |

Kaiel pushes his head off the ground holding onto his left leg and side near his kidney... he smiles (with no pain) and props himself up a little making sure not to disturb the sleep of the others... | :: '''"... our unit was led by a Branch that'd spent time in the Autumn Maudre..."''' ...
