Chronology

Volume 4

Thrissiam led one of the two armies, which both consisted of Drakes and Gnolls, sent to suppress the Goblin Lord near the High Passes. He met with the other army's [General], Garusa Weatherfur. They came to an agreement that Thrissiam would lead both armies, coordinating both of their respective specialties as defensive and offensive [Generals]. Their forces together made up over twenty thousand [Soldiers].

Thrissiam set up camp on a hilltop and commanded both armies to begin scouting for traces of the Goblin Lord's army, which is presumed to have hidden within the High Passes. Among those scouting was Osthia Blackwing's flight-capable Drakes of the Ancestor Guard company. [Scouts] began to disappear shortly after. Despite attempts to send [Scouts] and [Mages] to find out who is taking his soldiers, the enemy eluded Thrissiam for days. Days later, the Goblin Lord's forces attack the combined armies camp on all sides.

The Drake army and Goblins remained in a deadlock for days. Sometime during this period, Thrissiam and Garusa began to sleep in the same cot, starting up joking rumors and jests among their[Soldiers] and upsetting Osthia. Thrissiam and Garusa were unable to send out a [Message] spell through their [Mages]; the Goblin Lord's forces were blocking [Messages]. Thrissiam conceded that Garusa and Zel were correct to have been wary about the Goblin Lord, and that they needed to get word to the Walled Cities that the Goblin Lord could use undead and seemed to be a spell caster of some sort. Thrissiam concluded that they needed to ambush the Goblin Lord, that they couldn't win a battle of attrition.

Garusa managed to reach the Goblin Lord, but her spear was stayed by Az'kerash's intervention. He then killed Garusa, to Thrissiam's dismay, and a large portion of combatants, Drakes, Gnolls, and Goblins alike. He understood then that the real threat had been the Necromancer, and commanded all Scouts and Runners under his command to flee and warn the cities. He commanded Osthia to do the same. After Osthia left, Thrissiam managed to kill Garusa with a [Crescent Arc]. Thrissiam eventually died, and his corpse was raised to march northward.
