== Synopsis == <br />The chapter opens with a recap of the various storylines. [[Drakes]] march into the [[Gnolls|Gnoll]] Plains as the Gnoll Civil War erupts, the rest of the world watching. The [[Ailendamus]]-[[Dawn Concordat]] War has paused, the [[Timewalker]] no longer effects Baleros, [[A’ctelios Salash]] sleeps, and there's no clashes between the [[Blighted Kingdom]] and the [[Demon Kingdom]]. Zeres watches as [[Sand At Sea|Sand at Sea]] and [[Rasea Zecrew|The Illuminary]] approach. [[Kasignel]] grows empty as Terandria's dead monarchs make a last stand and ghosts briefly return to the living world. On [[Izril]], [[Teriarch]] returns to life. War has erupted in the Gnoll Plains. [[Torishi Weatherfur]] personally fights [[Xherw]] as the [[Steelfur Tribe]] and [[Az’muzarre Tribe]] fight [[Gaarh Marsh]] and [[Mrsha]]'s protectors. Shaman [[Cetrule]] and [[Silverfang Tribe|Silverfang]] warriors attempt to form a defensive line in the chaos of warriors and civilians. The Chieftain of Decles' Tribe attempts to lead his people against [[Plain’s Eye Tribe|Plain’s Eye]], but Plain's Eye [Shamans] shout and confuse. A thousand [[Wild Wastes Tribe]] warriors led by [[Berr]]'s son, [[Dorekh]], are blinded by Plain's Eye's Eye Totems. In the darkness, Dorekh realizes he's fighting civilians and children, and persuades his warriors to stop fighting. Four minutes later, Cetrule finds their bodies, killed with single wounds. [[Krshia Silverfang]] carries Mrsha into the war tent along with [[Qwera]], [[Vetn]], and [[Tesy]], where [[Yerranola]] is giving orders. Qwera has an arrow in her arm. Dorekh's body is carried into the war tent. Plain's Bow, a Gold-rank adventuring team, is killed by [[Adetr Steelfur]], Wild Wastes, and Silverfang warriors. The Gnolls fighting on the side of Plain's Eye have become endowed with good luck. [[Feshi Weatherfur]] summons [[Khelt]]'s undead guardians to protect her. [[Khoteizetrough]] is able to halt the fighting on both sides. Both sides count their dead as the first day ends. The next morning, Plain's Eye [Shamans] plant their Eye Totems in great numbers. [[Theikha]], [[Cetrule]], and other magic-users oppose spells cast by the hundred. On the second day, Xherw bids Ulcreziek and a thousand [Shamans] to perform the [Ritual of Land's Cataclysm], a mass ritual spell which opens a volcanic geyser of magma aimed at the [[Weatherfur Tribe]]. Khoteizetrough sacrifices himself to plug the geyser. Close by, Perorn, her centaurs, and the [[Fellowship of the Inn]] see Khoteizetrough die. Perorn converses with [[Numbtongue]] and Niers' students, and they enter combat with the Plain's Eye Gnolls and their allies as the Drakes draw closer. [[Xherw]], [[Reizet]], and [[Iraz Steelfur]] push up the hill where Mrsha stays. [[Torishi Weatherfur]] resumes one-on-one battle with Xherw, calling down rain and bolts of lightning, as Feshi's summoned Kheltian guardians fight [[Az’muzarre Tribe|Az’muzarre]]. [[Adetr Steelfur]] fights towards Iraz, with the help of Silverfangs and Wild Wastes Gnolls. Az'muzzare's champions are halted when they meet [[Demas Metal Tribe]] Gnolls, supported by [[Longstalker’s Fang Tribe]]. [[Tkrn]] guards [[Inkar]], who is shooting a bow. [[Gireulashia Ekhtouch|Gire]] faces her chieftain, [[Firrelle Ekhtouch]], and other Ekhtouch. The defensive lines are pierced by a group of Plain's Eye Gnolls, prompting [[Wer]] to meet them in battle. They move past him and [[Yerranola]] Rampages to fight them. [[Ysara Byres|Ysara]] kills one, but [[Vetn]] carries [[Mrsha]] and [[Tesy]] into the air. Ulcreziek sees them flying away and summons a gust of wind to carry them into Plain's Eye. Tesy summons a brick wall to impact them, causing them to drop straight down. Plain's Eye charges at them, and [[Saliss Oliwing]] appears, pouring a [Stoneskin] potion on Mrsha just in time to protect her from being stabbed. [[Mirn]] picks up Mrsha as Saliss begins unleashing alchemical weapons, then encounters eight Gnolls covered in [[Krakens|Kraken]] armor. Vetn snatched Mrsha from Mirn as Saliss transforms into a giant Minotaur with octopus tentacles. Saliss nearly kills Vetn and Tesy before Mirn realizes they're all trying to protect Mrsha. Steelfur Gnolls find them, and as Saliss fights them, Vetn, Tesy, Mirn, and Mrsha run away, into the Fellowship of the Inn. [[Ulvama]] grabs Mrsha and runs away from the fighting. The Fellowship and Centaurs led by [[Perorn Sadiluc]] fight the pursuing Steelfur Gnolls. [[Venaz]] leads [[Berr]] and a group of [Berserkers] into the command tent area area, stemming the overflow of Plain's Eye. Viri meets Merish amid the fighting and Merish apologizes. Elsewhere on the battlefield, [[Gireulashia Ekhtouch|Gire]] kills an Ekhtouch who spent decades mastering the spear and advances on [[Firrelle Ekhtouch]]. As Firrelle hesitates, Gire quickly decapitates her and suddenly finds herself lost. In the command tent, Berr discovers [[Dorekh|his son]]'s body and ceases his laughter and grinning, shrinking back into his true body. Berr manages to calm [[Solen]]'s anger and expresses his pride at Dorekh's last act. Berr asks about Mrsha and Xherw's whereabouts and Torishi reminds every one of the Drakes approaching. On the other side, [[Belavierr Donamia|Belavierr]] agrees to fight for Plain's Eye in exchange for one third of the luck contained within the [[Daemon]] of Luck. She exits Xherw's tent, drawing the attention of Saliss and [[Lehra Ruinstrider]], and begins to kill everything in eyesight. Back near Zeres, with the [[Sand at Sea]] and [[Rasea Zecrew|The Illuminary]], they are joined by the [[Velistrane]], the house of [[Reinhart Family|Reinhart]]'s Capital-class ship. Just after, a fleet of ghost ships from [[Kasignel]] appear on their voyage towards something else. From Khelt's vaults, [[Fetohep]] summons and launches the Gemstone Giant's Halberd at Zeres, ramming it halfway through a tower. [[Amerys]] and the [[Hecrelunn|Vizir Hecrelunn]] follow, launching lightning and meteors down on Zeres. On the Gnoll Plains, the Drakes reach the Meeting of Tribes.
