So the missive said from the War Ministry itself. The runner, Provincial General Thrithail's fastest, made his way to the commander of the Alyssan Guard. As the Imperatis recieved the orders, he nodded. He knew just the person to send...the Fighting Fourth. Proudstrong would love a chance to move, the men had been restless since news of the Sherian campaign had begun. Some action would do them well.

It really didn't take long for the Imperatis' orders, along with the copy of the Imperial Orders, to be sent post-haste to Cencoris Proudstrong, and before the suns had set, the dwarf and his soldiers were already prepared for departure. They'd leave on the following brightening.

The Fighting Fourth were headed to Arconis.
