Khao'khen addressed the Horde at dawn on the day after Westyn's departure.
Thousands of warriors in formation on the eastern plain, the chieftains at the front rank, the Snarling Wolf at the center, the morning's light falling across the formation with the clarity that open terrain provided. The warriors stood in the arrangement that full formation required, warband by warband, the 1st Warband's Rakshas at the center with their long spears vertical and their great round shields at rest, the Yurakk warbands flanking them with rectangular shields and stabbing swords, the Rumbling Clan's Rhakaddons behind the formation with Dhug'mhar's mount at the center of the beast line.
Khao'khen stood before the formation and spoke.
