A Council at Fal Verdan Skal felt that his was the only voice in council. There were five heads in the room, but only two spoke. Terresh and Hestia sat together on one side of the table, he sat on the other with colonel Tragil, commander of the wall. Passerina sat at the head, presiding. They were in a strong position. Their casualties in the battle had been slight. Skal himself had lost less than fifty men, and the Telans a couple of hundred. Their combined force still numbered over five thousand, and a straggle of Telan soldiers drifted in to join them every day. This was not an entirely positive thing in Skal’s view. It showed that word of their rebellion against Seth Yarra had spread very quickly, and even now the Seth Yarra must know of it. Tragil had a further three thousand men, but he would not leave the wall. It was his duty to hold it and he had given his oath to the king that it would not fall. He had already ruled himself out of any adventure.
