### 60

The War-thanes of King Ryvin’s army capture ‘The Hub’ and smash the Shom’zaa horde as it flees there in chaos from its defeat at the barricade. Then the army arrives, marching in double file through the north tunnel and into the cavern. Prince Torfan orders the barricade to be opened, and a joyful reunion of brother-warriors takes place before the Throne of Andarin.

Lord Rimoah emerges from among the ranks of the Drodarin, and he beams with joy when he sees that you are alive. Warmly he clasps your hand in friendship and respect, and he praises you for the success of your mission.

‘The Kai should be proud to count you among their number,’ he says, reverently. ‘Your victory here has brought great honour upon you, your country, and your noble order.’

Turn to 350.
