Military action
Khordann the Brutal leads his forces into direct confrontation with Chysanthos at the city of Coronea. The battle rages for a full day, with the sapphire armies seeming to gain the upper hand by sunset. Sensing an opportunity, Chysanthos commits to a complete assault. At the urging of his counselors, he led the charge well beyond the protection of the walls, seeking to strike a decisive blow to Mandurare's forces. Ilusa the Huntress steps from the shadows, and with her shadow hounds, rips the sapphire armies apart. Chysanthos is captured and taken to places unknown.
