The last three months in Madruga have been a confusing time as the Grendel prepared to defend their holding in the Siroc Plains, the armies of the Empire pushed round them to enter Feroz, and the supporters of Siakha - the Children of Wrecks - work on securing their island fastness and sending out ships to pillage the territories of the Bay.
