Soldier's Orders

These orders from Captain Volomir could not be clearer: see that the woodcutters' work goes smoothly,

and slay anything that emerges from the forest to harm them. The lumber is required by Boyar Ambrus himself

for his building plans around Maragir — the writer does not know to what end, and decided,

from the look his question earned him, that ignorance is the wisest course. Should any worker die on their watch,

the guards will answer to the boyar directly.
