Charrtober 2019: XXIV - MISSION

“Our orders were to destroy a Flame Legion camp near the Black Citadel. We were quick and efficient, it was over in a matter of seconds.

“Only they weren’t soldiers. They were defectors. Centurion Duskmane had told me this quite plainly - and then gave the order to leave no survivors.

“I objected, but orders were orders. When I briefed my warband… I misled them. I told them we were preventing an attack on the Citadel. What’s worse, they might have believed me, but there wasn’t a single weapon in that camp.”

To be continued

I had doubts about this scene - still have. I see my own characters as relatively moderate and even peaceful compared to the average charr, especially for Blood Legion. But I think it’s better to show that they weren’t always like that, and how that change came to be.
