:: '''"...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.

:: '''"... our unit was led by a Branch that'd spent time in the Autumn Maudre..."''' ... Kaiel chuckles again...
