The Guild will soon vote to decide whether to come to the aid of our Brothers in Mantar. I, for one, hope that they decide to take the offensive and to attack en masse. Strength in numbers, as they say. The Yogar Belar are certainly strong, but dozens of mages working together should be a quite a problem for a few Belar. It seems dangerous to give ground at this point, and equally dangerous to split our forces. I am certain, though, that none in the Guild will listen to my counsel. That is of little consequence, however, as we will certainly have our hands full. Tara has plans for us in Mantar. We will need our newly acquired might if we are to carry out her plan, and we will need some luck as well. We may be risking our necks once more on behalf of our Belar hosts, but perhaps, if the Yogar are thwarted, there may be time to help the Fabricari in Mantar after all.
