From the ramparts of the castle, it offered a picturesque view with mountains rising to form the border with Masina. But from the ramparts as the sun set, the land seemed swarmed by insects covering both sides of the river, but on scrutiny, the shields and helmets of soldiers could be seen. The columns of soldiers streamed through the pass at Caeratan and filled the surrounding land as a tide rising. Edward's soldiers lined the river's edge watching the approach of the Turuck army. The invaders were a vast army, some horsed, but most on foot. They marched silently with the thunder of huge drums sounding the march beat. The concussion of the drums jangled his armor. Edward could feel the vibration in his mount's legs. His scouts reported the war hammers to be deadly and scores of black clad fighters walked with every column of the Turuck regular army. These special warriors surrounded even their Overlord, Tag Makk, although rumor from Masina indicated he needed no special protection.
