The Council of the Sunstair

Gathering / Conference

Horrified by the destruction of Jeharoa, the leaders of the Pilgrim Army convene a council to determine what to do with the conquered lands.

For days, the city burned. Lady Alysaria, from her place in the camp, was reportedly horrified by what she saw. When the smoke cleared was over, Alysaria and Rainard held a service for the fallen Pilgrims outside the Sunstair temple. They then convened a meeting with their commanders and the high ranking prisoners taken during the battle. A disagreement occurred and sources differ on the exact nature of the exchange. Some say it had to do with how to deal with the captured Qartagonian commanders. Others say Alysaria confronted Rainard over his bloodlust. However, when the meeting was over, Rainard and his loyal household guard gathered together outside the city. They then marched to Alameen and then north through the Mashiqi Gates and into the Marrow Desert. Their apparent goal was to take more Qartagonian settlements in the Marrow and eventually capture Qartago itself. However, within months, none had heard from the company and they were assumed to have been lost to the sands.
