The Pilgrim Army Arrives in Solstice

Population Migration / Travel

The Pilgrim Army arrives in Solstice but with so many troops, few ships are willing to transport them across the Sea of Brass. The Army sells off most of its gear and supplies, causing mass desertion. However, a much smaller force does make the journey across the Sea to Iskendra.

When the army reached Solstice, the main port with access to Nioa, the three leaders of the crusade—collectively referred to as ‘the Miraculous Three’—called for all of the army’s livestock and weapons to be sold so they could purchase passage on ships. This caused many of the soldiers to desert, leaving only a force 15,000 strong. Despite this, the travelers now called by all who encountered them, the Grand Pilgrim Army, obtained passage across the Sea of Brass and arrived in Iskendra.
